Eurail, the company behind the Eurail and Interrail train passes, now offers a new distribution platform, allowing agencies to sell both in mobile form.

Distributors can connect via API or, for offline sales, the Eurail Ticketing System (ETS).

Both passes offer rail travel in up to 33 European countries.

Eurail introduced the mobile Eurail and Interrail passes in 2020. They can be used within 11 months after purchase, with full flexibility in itinerary and starting date of the trip.

Travellers manage their trip independently with the Rail Planner app, with another benefit being a flexible refund and exchange policy that allows travellers to change or postpone travel at limited cost. 
 
Silvia Festa, Eurail business and growth manager, said: “Travellers ask for flexible travel products these days, that allow for last minute and hassle-free change of travel plans. 

“In addition, the interest in green travel and the launch of various new night trains in Europe have raised the interest in train travel within Europe among a broader audience. 

“Our rail passes also create an interesting opportunity to upsell with other ancillary products in order to deliver an appealing package to customers.”
 
A significant part of Eurail and Interrail Pass sales come from Eurail’s distribution partners. Existing distributors Rail Europe, SilverRail, Trip.com and train travel start-up All Aboard were the first to be connected earlier this summer.
