Best place to get a railpass
 
My husband and I are thinking about getting a railpass for our upcoming trip to Europe. We plan to travel in September, so I thought we should start planning early. Where are the best places to get a railpass. Has anyone ordered a pass from raileurope before? Any ideas..Thanks

Buy it at raileurope.co it'll be mailed to you within 2-3 business days, it's very simple and they have all the descriptions of all the passes so you can choose the one that suits you. i wouldnt do it any other way.

Consider buying from ricksteves.com. You get extras such as a video on how to use it and a choice of books. <BR>

I suggest you get your pass from Footloose Travel - www.footloosetravel.com. We got a free Lets Go Europe guidebook with our order. Moreover, they helped us a great deal prior to purchasing our pass. It really is a nice service. Good luck and your smart to start planning early.

I have always purchased my rail passes from the people at www.railpass.com. I have purchased them online, but usually call them directly & purchase the passes. Don't know about the other places because I never tried them, because railpass.com has always given me the information I need to know, or where I can go to get the proper information, & their service has always been very good. & at times when I have purchased the passes they have supplied 'Europe by Eurail' or 'Britain by Britrail' books either free or at a discount. <BR>
