Eurail Pass Benefits & Discounts

Everything you need to know about how they work

First of all, you need to have a Eurail Pass. Got yours? Nice! Then you can take advantage of Eurail Pass Benefits during the period that your Eurail Pass is valid. Your validity period runs from the "First day" until the "Last day" written on your Eurail Pass at the time it's activated.

Mobile Pass 

If you have a mobile Pass

Our mobile Pass is paperless ticket that can be added instantly to your phone. With everything on one app from planning your trip to boarding the train, you can explore 33 European countries with ease and enjoy more freedom than ever before. 

• For Pass benefits that are on location, simply show your mobile Pass in the My Pass view to the person behind the counter to get the discount. 
• If you are accessing a benefit online, you can generally use your Pass number as a discount code on the website of the benefit provider. 

Paper Pass

If you have a Flexi Eurail Pass

(with for example, 7 days of travel within a period of 1 month)

• You may only use free benefits on dates that you have added in the Travel Calendar on your Eurail Pass. If the benefit is a free overnight ferry, you can enter the date of departure or arrival in your Travel Calendar - either option will do! Remember that this is only valid for paper Passes. 

• For every other benefit, you don't need to specify a date in your Travel Calendar.

If you have a Continuous Eurail Pass

(with for example, travel on every day within a period of 15 days)

• You can take advantage of all our benefits on any date that your Eurail Pass is valid.

To arrange using a benefit, you can contact the individual company in advance or show your Eurail Pass when you book. It's usually possible to do this on the day itself. Some benefits (ferry journeys in particular) need booking in advance.

We're always looking to add great benefits. Sometimes others are discontinued. While this rarely happens, if you've got your heart set on a specific benefit, we recommend first checking that it's still offered. Do so by contacting the company offering the benefit, or by talking to our support team.

For both mobile and paper Passes 

Remember that free benefits are different from discounted benefits. 

• For a discount on a full-fare transportation ticket, you do not need to use a travel day. 
• If the benefit is fully included in your Pass like a short ferry that you can access for free with it, you have to use a travel day.

"Your site was much easier than Rail Europe" 

​Your site was much easier than Rail Europe to deal with. Also deals slightly better.  Would be interested in one country Xdays spread over 2 months not just 1.
