Hello, I want to buy an interrail pass, but I would like to know 2 things:

  • Is the mobile pass always 100% refundable (even after the promo ends - 30th November)? And if so is it usually more expensive than the paper pass?
  • Can I exchange my mobile pass for a paper pass? If so what does it involve?

Thank you for all the help you can give!

The offical refund policy

Is 85% for Standard passes (without plus upgrade) or 100% with plus upgrade
Promotional / discounted passes are usually not refundable with the plus upgrade they will refund 85%.

Currently Eurail offer the plus upgrade for free :) means that you get 100% refund.

Paperpass and Mobilepass have both the sameprice :) You can exchange your passes only via a refund a buy a new one.

I recommend to wait usually there are more discounts arround Christmas / New year, Valentins day or Easter :) no need to book a pass yet when you are not 100% sure.

Eurail tries to sell the mobile pass only :/ but you can still buy the Interrailpass at many Ticket offices in Europe :) I bought them quite often just few days in advance at a ticket office next to me.

I´ am not working for Eurail or Interrail i just share my knowledge here. Please ask in the Community and not via private message as this is the fastest way to get an answer. I prefer English/German/ Czech for my answers. In case of Reservationquestions please share some details like Route, Date, Trainnumber as otherwise we can just provide general advices or answers

Hi Diana. Just to complement Seewulf's answer; please notice the Plus offer (which allows for higher refund percentages than the standard refund policy) is only available for electronic Passes - there is no such offer for the paper version of the Passes. It is possible to exchange a mobile Pass for a paper Pass, but this usually only happens in exceptional cases, as the paper Pass carries quite a few additional practical disadvantages and risks compared to the mobile Passes.

Cheers!
