Welcome to our blog helping European rail travelers select the best Eurail pass for their trip! It’s an often confusing task trying to work out exactly which pass to go for. Global, Select, Regional or Country?

Our main site www.RailPassDeals.com will make that easy for you. Simply follow the options on the side bar and it’s literally an instant decision. Once you arrive at the specific product page, you will notice side by side price comparisons.

The Eurail Global pass section has an automatic pass selector for you – you simply click the option that best describes your trip and your pass will be automatically selected for you!

Now let’s get down to a very important point because we receive frequent emails from curious travelers about. It’s about pricing. Please note, there is no such thing as a “discount” or a Eurail pass “on sale”. No such thing! You will notice the price comparison chart shows both main companies selling fares for exactly or close to exactly the same price.

That’s because pricing is not determined by anyone other than the European Transport Commission so any legitimate site cannot sell an authentic pass for anything other than certain parameters set. So pricing is very similar.

Where you can get better “deals” is each company can make its own decisions in terms of special bonuses it offers. So whether it’s a free mobile phone or pre-paid calling card, free shipping or other bonuses – this is where you should direct your attention.

So with that, we update the blog with all the monthly specials and bonuses each company runs so you can browse through them and make up your own mind what works best for you.

We’d also like to give you a heads up about price changes. Prices rise without warning literally overnight on Eurail passes so it’s a good idea to sign up to our ticket notification alert. This simply lets you know a few days in advance prior to the next price rise. Make use of this tool as depending on the fare you purchase, it could save you some very handy spending money!

Finally, whatever you do – spend the extra $14 and get ticket protection. This is basically fare insurance so in the event you lose your pass during your travels, you are protected. Nothing worse than getting that sinking feeling when you’ve lost your ticket knowing there’s not much you can do without any type of protection.
