anyone used rail/drive passes for France and Switzerland
 

Hi. Has anyone used the rail/drive combo passes. I am needing to get from Paris to Geneva and then go from Geneva to Wengen and while in Wengen go to Schilthorn or Jungfrau and then rent a a car for the weekend and go to Mt. Blanc from Geneva. NOt sure which is wiser with convenience and price.

Any help/advice is much appreciated!

I think the Eurail Selectpass Drive (gives you 3 days of train travel and 2 days of Avis or Hertz rental car in or between) sounds like what you are seeking. I guess you would have to simply try www.railsaver.com to see what the point-to-point rail fares would be, and then comparison shop the car rental to get the most accurate idea.

I once used the (now defunct Fly'n')Rail'n'Drive, and the paperwork was easy, but then it's easy with any prep-reserved car at the "majors" (mine was Avis on that trip, I seem to rcall). No less so with the Rail'n'Drive, but no hassle either.

Best wishes,

Rex

Thanks Rex!

Do you know if you get discounts on the finuclars(sp?) and other cables with this pass?

You're welcome.

There is a toll-free number, 1-800-4EURAIL, I think - - for detailed questions like this (about the ... funiculars...)
