How to use

Validation
 Passes must be validated in 6 months of issue date
 Passes must be validated by a railway official in one of the countries mentioned on the Eurail Select Pass (station’s desk) who also fills in the passport number
 All parties must be present when validating a Eurail Select Pass Saver
 The date of travel has to be entered by the traveller in the correct way before boarding the first train in the corresponding box of the calendar

7:00pm rule

 If an overnight train starts after 7:00pm on a validated Eurail Select Pass, the Pass holder must enter the next day’s date on the pass, provided it falls within the validity of the pass.
 If an overnight train starts before 7:00pm on a validated Eurail Select Pass, the Pass holder has to fill in two days on the pass: the starting day’s date AND the arrival day’s date on the pass, provided it falls within the validity of the pass.

Exception for ARTESIA Paris - Roma night train

 For holders of a Eurail Pass with flexible travel days, Eurail Pass holders are allowed to enter the date of the next day in their calendar box when using overnight train n°227 (Paris to Roma only) which leaves before 7:00 PM from Paris

Each time before boarding a train, bus or boat, it is important that passengers record their trip in the Travel Report on the Pass cover (in blue or black ink). If passengers travel without having entered the trip in the Travel Report, they risk a fine and payment of a full fare ticket.
