What's good to know

An Interrail ticket does not guarantee you a seat. In many trains, reservations are recommended or even mandatory (such connections have the letter R in a box in the timetable).
Traveling on higher quality trains often requires a special surcharge. Your Interrail ticket entitles you to a discount, which varies depending on the type of train and the type of extra services provided on the train. The surcharge includes mandatory seat reservation and sometimes also catering service on the train or other benefits.
Interrail tickets are issued in your name, are non-transferable, and are only valid with an official identity document (ID card or passport). The passenger must present this document when purchasing the Interrail ticket at the ticket counter and is also obliged to present this document at any time during inspection on the train. Interrail PROMOTIONAL PASS tickets (with a discount during announced periods) cannot be returned or exchanged due to reasons on the passenger's side, except in cases where the possibility of return is announced for a specific promotional offer.
When purchasing an Interrail ticket, the ticket will be placed in an envelope with the terms of use.
No compensation is provided for a lost or stolen Interrail network ticket. Only a completely unused Interrail ticket can be returned, before the first day of validity. This ticket must be in its original envelope. The fare will be refunded after deducting the appropriate cancellation fee.
For easier connection searching, we recommend downloading the Railplanner mobile application.
Interrail tickets in paper form can only be purchased at selected stations (see attached list) or you can self-check-in with an Interrail ticket in mobile form by purchasing on www.interrail.eu with subsequent activation in the Rail Planner application (iOS and Android support).

Activating mobile Interrail
Following the instructions in the confirmation e-mail, load the ticket into the app and activate it. You can execute both steps at the same time or first add the ticket to the application and then activate it later – it’s up to you.

Travelling with an Interrail mobile ticket
You’ll find your routes and connections in the Rail Planner app. By clicking on a connection, you’ll save it to the “My Trip” tab, where you’ll first see all your planned trips. When you’re ready to start your journey, tap the connection and add it to your Pass. The connection will then appear in the "My Pass" section as a ticket, which you can present during an inspection on the train.

You can download the Rail Planner app free of charge from Google Play (Android) or from the Apple App Store (iPhone).
