Hi,
I live in Germany with a permanent residency but I am a non-EU citizen (of course with a valid non-EU passport). Can I choose to travel with Eurail pass instead of Interrail pass? I would really prefer to travel with Eurail pass as Germany’s central location and interrail pass’ inbound/outbound rule renders the interrail pass kinda useless if I want to say travel a few days to France and some days on the other side of Germany, to say Austria (unless I take some complicated route that doesn’t include journey’s in Germany).
The language on eurail website creates a bit of a grey area (as it’s mentioned there that non-EU citizens who reside in the EU can ‘choose’ to buy an interrail pass). If I buy an eurail pass by providing the details of my non-EU passport, would it be fine or would I get into trouble? Has anybody been fined for such cases?
To be really honest, this inbound/outbound rule is very very inconvenient and frustrating, especially for people like me who live in central europe. At least earlier interrail pass was cheaper than eurail and that was some consolation for limited journey’s in your home country but now I see that the prices for both eurail and interrail are exactly the same.
Thank you very much in advance!
