Do I need to print the pass or is a mobile version accepted?

The pass is fully digital. Activate it in the Rail Planner app and show it on your phone — no printing needed.

Can I cancel or get a refund after activating the pass?

Once the pass has been activated, cancellations and refunds are not available. If you have not yet activated it, contact us as soon as possible.

Do I need to book seat reservations separately?

Yes — most high-speed trains (such as the TGV, Thalys and Frecciarossa) and night trains require a paid seat reservation on top of the pass. Check each route before you travel.

My family has three children. Do all of them travel free?

Up to two children aged 4–11 travel free with one adult. A third child (or any additional children) will need a separately purchased Youth Pass.

I live in Europe — am I eligible for this pass?

No. The Eurail Global Pass is exclusively available to non-European residents. European residents should look at Interrail passes instead.

What does 'non-consecutive days' mean in practice?

You select a validity period (for example, one or two months) and use your allocated travel days on whichever dates you choose within that window — they do not need to run back-to-back.

Know before you go

This pass is for non-European residents only — proof of residency outside Europe may be requested.

You must activate the pass in the Rail Planner app before boarding your very first train.

Each travel day must be added in the app before departure, not after.

High-speed and night trains nearly always require a separate paid seat reservation — budget for this.

First class passes are valid in both first and second class coaches; second class passes are second class only.

Children under 4 travel free but cannot have a seat reserved for them.

If more than two children travel with one adult, additional children require a Youth Pass purchased separately.
