Introduction : Type of Rail Pass

train Consecutive Pass

This is a perfect choice for travelers who plan to travel everyday, without any predetermined mileage. For example, if you purchase a 15-day pass and start using it on the 1st of May, you can take unlimited trips on the trains as you wish. But, if there were any days that you want to stay in town and not take any trains, the days are still counted. The 15th of May would be the last day that your pass is valid.

train Flexi Pass

This pass can be used to take a train without any length or country limits. For example, you purchase a “10 days within 2 months” pass, which you start using on the 1st of April. Then, you take a second train on the 5th of April. That would count for 2 days of use. So, there would be 8 days that are still valid for your use, which you can use whenever you like within that two-month period. With this pass, you can take any train for any trips that you like, start from midnight to midday. For an overnight train, if you take the train after 19:00, it would count as a new day.

train Youth Pass

This pass is for young people under the age of 26 years on the first day of usage. It is cheaper than the EuRail pass, with same conditions on usage, but it is only a 2nd class pass.

train Adult Pass

The pass for passengers who are 26 or more years old.

train Senior Pass

The exceptional point for this kind of pass is that it is exclusively for passengers who are 60 or more years old, or retired people.

train Saver Pass

This final option is the pass for a group of 2-5 passengers who travel together on all trips. And, all the names of everybody in the group would have to be mentioned on the pass. If one who is named on the pass does not travel with the group, then that one does not have to buy a new pass. This pass is not so expensive and is suitable for passengers who travel in a group.
