Is a Eurail Pass worth it?

Booking every leg of your journey months in advance takes a lot of meticulous planning and research. 

With so many resellers and train companies selling different tickets, you need to understand where to look and when to book to snap up the limited cheap tickets before they increase in price.

If you’d rather turn up on the day and buy your ticket at the station, you’ll end up waiting in line and paying a lot more for your journey.

With a Eurail Pass, you just need to buy one ticket before you go, and possibly book some seat reservations depending on where you intend to travel.

Of course, it’s wise to map out your itinerary in advance – but you don’t need to worry about booking tons of separate tickets and digging around for the best price as your Pass gives you total flexibility.

Just turn up at the station and start your adventure!

With individual tickets for each journey, all it takes is one delay, cancellation or missed connection to mess up your entire onward itinerary. Likewise, if you lose just one ticket, your whole itinerary is at risk of falling apart.
 

You also have no flexibility to change your travel plans, which can mean missing out on more time in the cities you’re not ready to say goodbye to, or spending a day too long in a town you just didn’t click with.

You only need to look after a single ticket, and if you lose it and you’ve chosen our Pass Protection, we’ll cover the costs of replacement train tickets up to the remaining value of your Eurail Pass.
 

Your Pass gives you the freedom and flexibility to hop on and off most trains as you please, as long as your Pass is valid in that country. If you miss a train, it’s no problem – just jump on the next one.

And if you want to change your plans, you can! Wander off the beaten track, take an unscheduled day trip or stay longer in a city you love – it’s your adventure, after all.
