hi there.

has anyone ordered railpasses from euro railways? they are offering free shipping but i haven't read too much about them on this site.

thanks!!

Are they offering any "extras" besides free shipping? Railpasses have set prices, all that varies is the extra stuff included.

I'm sure Eurorailways is fine, but I've gotten railpasses from ricksteves.com, because he includes your choice of guidebooks, and I find his useful. He also includes a map.

Is it "EuroRailways" or Rail Europe? .

As long as it's a real company, the prices are standard so it doesn't matter too much. Free shipping, if that includes Fedex or something, is a nice extra, though, as long as you are paying the same for the pass anyway. Raileurope charges about $10-15 for the shipping, I think.

We used Euro Railways to purchase point-to-point tickets for our Italy trip last March. Same free shipping deal. They seemed fine, although they did mess up one of our train reservations. We caught this immediately and it was corrected, although it took a few calls to get things straightened out. Assuming there prices are the same as everyone else's, I would use them again to save on the shipping.

I just purchased rail passes from them this summer. Free shipping, no problems.

try STA Travels..I recently purchased EURAIL passes from them and also did some reservations for a overnight train trip.

Great experience.

Recently purchased Swisspasses from Euro Railways at same price quoted on Swiss rail site. Free shipping, arrived a few days later via Fed EX. came with a Eurail schedule. Very easy.

Hi myps,

Are you sure you need railpasses? Try www.railsaver.com before you buy. Point to point is often cheaper.

hi everyone,

thanks for the replies and suggestions.

ira, i have priced ptp tickets. they turn out to be a bit cheaper but we decided on the convenience of a pass.

I just bought an Eurail Pass from them. They offer excellent service (live chat internet service. Everything okay with the tickets and the price.

MileKing, you are misinterpreting what was said. All the companies charge the SAME for RAILPASSES, but may vary the free shipping or bonuses. But RailEurope and others may add up to 30% on purchases of point to point tickets and/or reservations. I'd reconsider doing individual tickets from them.
