Who can get

People with a permanent residence (for more than 6 months) outside of Europe, the United Kingdom, the Russian Federation or Turkey are eligible to purchase or use a Eurail Global Pass.

How to use

Validation − Passes must be validated within 6 months of date of issue − Passes must be validated prior to first train journey / first use of bonus by a railway official in Europe (station’s desk) who also fills in the passport number − All parties must be present when validating a Eurail Global Pass Saver − Flexipass: The date of travel has to be entered in the correct way before boarding the first train/ship, by the traveller, in the corresponding box of the calendar.

7:00pm rule

 If an overnight train starts after 7:00pm on a validated Eurail Global Pass, the Pass holder must enter the next day’s date on the pass, provided it falls within the validity of the pass.

 If an overnight train starts before 7:00pm on a validated Eurail Global Pass, the Pass holder has to fill in two days on the pass: the starting day’s date AND the arrival day’s date on the pass provided it falls within the validity of the pass.

Exception for ARTESIA Paris - Roma night train

 For holders of a Eurail Pass with flexible travel days, Eurail Global Pass holders are allowed to enter the date of the next day in their calendar box when using overnight train n°227 (Paris to Roma only) which leaves before 7:00 PM from Paris

Each time before boarding a train, bus or boat, it is important that passengers record their trip in the Travel Report on the Pass cover (in blue or black ink). If passengers travel without having entered the trip in the Travel Report, they risk a fine and payment of a full fare ticket.
