FAQ's

How do Eurail pass and Eurail Select Pass differ?

How is a "travel day" calculated?
For the train, a travel day goes from midnight to midnight.

If I take an overnight train, will I be using up 2 days on my pass?
If you board a direct overnight train that departs after 7:00pm, you will use only 1 day on your pass. If your overnight train requires a train change before midnight, you will use 2 travel days.

Do I need to make a reservation?
Generally not, however some high speed, overnight and premier trains may require a reservation and charge a reservation fee. Refer to your timetable.
