Flexipass vs. Consecutive Pass
If you want to travel by train every day for some number of days in a row, the consecutive pass is the right choice. To travel sporadically during some period of time, the flexipass works better.
Rail Month and Day
A rail month is a month's worth of time, for instance, September 15 through October 14. A rail day starts on midnight and ends on midnight the next day.
Global Pass
A Eurail Global Pass allows travel through 21 countries. Global passes can be continuous or flexible.
Select Pass
A Eurail Select Pass (flexible) allows you to travel within 3 to 5 bordering countries of your choice. Choose from 24 countries.
Discounts
A Saver Pass allows 2 to 5 people traveling together to buy one pass for 15 percent less than if they bought separate passes. A Youth Pass for those 25 or younger gives a 35 percent discount, but is for second class travel only.
Family Travel
Children under four travel free. Families with children four years old and over can travel together using a Saver Pass. Children 12 to 26 qualify for the Youth Pass, but adults would need to travel second class for the family to stay together.
