  • Where should I purchase my railpasses?

    We suggest that you purchase your tickets from www.railconnection.com before leaving on your trip. They specialize in rail travel only and offer great service, overnight shipping, free guidebooks, and the guaranteed lowest prices.

    Are there any specials available for parents traveling with children?

    RailSaver cannot search certain free railpasses for children traveling with their parents. These passes include the BritRail Family Pass and the Swiss Family Card. Ask the travel specialists at www.railconnection.com about these specials.

    Are railpasses refundable?

    In general, un-validated railpasses are 85% refundable. After validation, most railpasses are non-refundable. Check with the company selling you the railpass before you purchase for their specific rules.

    Who qualifies for Child, Youth, and Senior discount prices?

  • Children: Ages 4 – 11
  • Youth: Ages 12 – 25
  • Senior: Depends on pass, but usually Ages 60 and above.
  • Do I need to purchase my passes before arriving in Europe?

    Yes, you should purchase tickets before leaving for Europe. Since Eurailpasses are not valid for European citizens, there are few locations in Europe to buy Eurailpasses. However, if needed, www.railconnection.com will ship your railpasses to you anywhere in the world.

    Should I purchase point-to-point tickets before arriving in Europe?

    You can purchase your point-to-point ticket before leaving for convenience purposes. However, the prices may be different than those listed in Railsaver. You will generally get the best prices at train stations in Europe.

    Where do I purchase point-to-point tickets in Europe?

    At any train station or travel agency. International tickets can often only be purchased at the International Ticket Counter at larger train stations, or at any travel agency.
