New to making seat reservations? Please read these 4 points below before you use the Self-Service tool:

• To use the Self-Service, you need to be logged in to your Eurail account and have a trip and travelers selected.
• The Self-Service lets you book trains up to 3 hours before its departure. You'll receive an e-ticket that you need to print at home.
• Seats on the train are assigned automatically. If you book for your group, you'll be seated together.
• If your train is unavailable in the Self-Service, you'll be redirected to another system in which our travel experts can help you complete your reservation. Please note that reservations booked through this system will be sent to you as paper tickets through registered mail. You can only book these trains at least 6 days before departure.
