Current European Rail Specials
- Free Credit from Eurail
Love this Eurail sale on now: buy a qualifying Eurail pass by June 30, 2009 and Rail Europe will give you a credit voucher good for 25 percent of the value of that pass, which can be used toward up to 75 percent of any rail travel purchase made by December 20, 2009, provided your second purchase is at least 1.34 times the value of credit. Okay, this is how it works:
For example, buy a $586 Eurail Youth Global pass (that's the already discounted student price) and get a voucher for $146.50 (25 percent). Subsequently save $146.50 when you buy any Rail Europe passes or tickets worth at least $196.31 (1.34 times the dollar value of your credit ) next fall. That could be up to 75% off a different pass or a point-to-point ticket which you discover you need to buy on top of your pass.
- Apply for the credit (save your used original pass!) by printing the credit document and completing it. Mail the application along with your original used rail pass to the Rail Europe Redemption Center.
- Rail Europe, Attn: Redemption Center, Columbia Centre II, 9450 W. Bryn Mawr, 4th Floor, Rosemont, IL 60018
- Use the credit on your next purchase by buying another Eurail pass from Rail Europe, and type in the personalized promotion code you’ll receive after you apply for the credit.
Yep, that’s it! Do remember that your future purchase must be at least 1.34 times the dollar value of your credit.

Rail Trip Tip
If you want to sleep without fear of losing of your backpack on a train, invest in carabiners (secure locking devices) - find a good one here - and use it to hook your pack to an overhead rack.
