The Pass Works
To

the pass is valid. Residents of CIS, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia
are not eligible to use any of the Eurailpasses, Eurail Selectpassses

To
Begin Travel On Your Pass
Have your pass validated on or before your first day of use. Your pass
must be validated within 6 months from date of issue. To validate your
pass, present your passport and your pass to a railway official at the
ticket window in the train station (not the conductor) who will enter
the first and last date of your travel period. This must be done before
boarding a train, bus, boat, plane or renting a car for the first time.
Please do not write on or fill in any part of your pass before it has
been validated. All services (rail, rental car, air travel and travel
bonuses) must be used within the validity of the accompanying railpass.
As
You Travel On Your Pass
Before boarding the first train or ferry of each day, write the date
in ink, in the appropriate box on your pass. At the time you rent a
car, present your pass and 1 car voucher for each rental day.
Seat
Reservations and Overnight Travel
A pass allows the boarding of a train, bus, plane, or boat, but does
not guarantee a seat. Seat reservations are optional for most trains
but are mandatory for all TGV, Thalys, Cisalpino, AVE, and ES* trains
and selected EuroCity and InterCity trains and for all sleepers and
couchettes. Couchettes. All tickets are sold including any necessary
reservations whether selecting a seat or sleeper. If holding a railpass,
reservations are sold as passholder fares.
Airport taxes not included.

Reserve Your Car

for Europe by calling the appropriate car company (see below for which
companies serve certain passes). Confirm drop-off conditions at time
of reservation. Be sure to reserve your car in advance as they are subject
to availability.
