Always make sure that the dates are entered in the correct way. The date of use must be entered in blue/black ink in the boxed calander on the bottom left corner of your pass before boarding your train.

On your Eurail Global flexipass, you’ll see a string of blank boxes, one for each travel day available to you. You can take as many trips as you like within each travel day.

Before boarding the train (or bus or boat covered 100% by your pass), fill in that day’s date in ink in one of the blank boxes on your pass.

Your Eurail Global pass is valid from midnight to midnight.

If you are taking an overnight trip after 7pm, you must write the next days date in the corresponding box of the calendar. Travel between 7pm and midnight on the day of the departure is then included.

Although the rules state that all travelers must be traveling together, this does not mean a traveler on the Eurail Saverpass can't travel by themselves.

They may do so. However, he/she must carry the ticket and control voucher with them. Therefore the other members of the party cannot make another trip at the same time.

If a member of your party wishes to make a seperate journey from the rest, the whole party will lose atleast a rail day.

If you want to travel in 1st class with a second class rail pass, you must pay the difference of the 1st and 2nd class point to point ticket cost of the route you are taking. You will be able to negotiate this at the ticket window.

If you wish to travel in 2nd class with a 1st class rail pass, no refunds will be given.

Train staff are instructed to take your rail pass away if:

• Your pass is not validated.
• Your pass has been tampered with.
• Using another persons pass.
• Cannot produce a passport.
• An attemp to use the pass beyond its validity point.
• Entering dates in pencil.
• Correcting dates that have already been entered.
• Traveling on a pass where dates have not been entered.

If any of these situations occur, you will be asked to pay the full fare plus a fine which can range from 50 Euros to 100 Euros.
