I bought a pass yesterday in order to travel from 4th December 2024. In the pass it mentioned Activate this pass 1 Nov 2025. What means that? Can’t I travel before 1. November 2025. This is a discounted pass bought from eurorail official site. Can I exchange this in to a one whic permit me to travel on 4 December 2024?

The latest possible start date is always 11 months after purchase date (except when stated differently), so the pass you've bought must be activated on or before 1/11/2025. The validity period then runs from that date. If that doesn't work for you, then ask for a refund (no refund fee if you do that within 7 days) and buy another pass later. The current sale runs until 17/12.


Which means is it possible for me to use this pass to travel on 4 th December? Please advise me. And thank you for taking your valuable time to share this information.


4 th December 2024 to travel.


It means you can start your travel from the moment you bought it, until 1/11/2025. You cannot start (=activate the pass) later than 1/11/2025.

You can start tomorrow or in three months or in six months or in ten months. Doesn’t matter.


If you buy a pass on 17/12/2024, then the latest possible start date is 17/11/2025. So that's when the validity period will start. You will be able to travel on 4/12/2025. More importantly however, you should check when the validity period will end (which depends on the pass you buy) and whether that fits with your travel plans.


Thank you so much☺️
