I live in the US, am over 70 years old, and will travel to Europe later this year. I love trains and was thinking of buying a Eurrail pass while still in the US but I recently read in a Lonely Planet travel book that if one doesn’t travel by rail VERY FREQUENTLY, then it’s not worth buying a Eurrail pass. You see, I might stay in some city - say Paris or London - for more than 1 week. If I did that, then I’d lose money if I bought and used a Eurrail pass. Correct?? How often does one have to use the Eurrail pass in order to not lose money? Is using a Eurrail pass every few days best in order to get one’s money worth for the purchase of it?
I live in the US and will travel to Europe later this year. I’m over 70 and understand I can get a reduced price on the pass. Can I buy the Interrail pass once I arrive in Scotland (probably landing in Glasgow) later this year or am I, for some reason, forced to buy a Eurail pass while I’m still in the US? [If I'm forced to buy a Eurail pass while still in the US, can I also get the reduced price due to my age?] Also, if I can buy the Interrail pass once I arrive in the UK later this year, what documents do I have to produce to an agent to get the reduced price for an Interrail pass? Instead of carrying my birth certificate with me, will my US passport be sufficient to get the reduced Interrail pass?
