France Eurail Bonuses
Eurail Pass holders are granted reduced fares and sometimes even free offers with many companies
Including ferry crossings, sightseeing attractions and hotels.
The traveler can obtain these discounts locally with the
company offering the discount.
Rules for using extra Pass Benefits
- For free passage on international ferry routes, the Eurail Pass
must be valid for the country of departure AND the
country of arrival.
- For a reduced passage, the Eurail Pass must be valid for the
country of departure OR the country of
arrival.
- If traveling at a reduced rate, the travel may take place at
any time, provided it is within the overall validity of the Eurail
Pass, even if all the travel days in the calendar have been used
up.
When traveling on a Flexi Pass (with a certain number of
flexible travel days) please note:
- Free transportation requires use of a travel
day; in case of a free overnight ferry, the holder may either enter
the day of departure or the day of arrival in the calendar.
- Reduction benefits do not require use of a
travel day.
