Hello all,

 

I have read a lot of information on using the mobile app and occasionally see a reference to certain trains required printed reservations and/or tickets so my question is:

  1.  Will I ever need to print either a ticket or reservation?
  2. if I do have to print one, how will I be able to print?  

Thanks again for the expertise of all who are far more knowledgeable than me. 😃

Eurail could send them to a Hotel/Hostel where you stay next :)
You can try to reserve when you are in Europe at a Ticket office. many countries are connected by a reservation system :)

In General the International TGV, Eurostar and Thalys are the most expensive reservation up to 56€ :/
Nighttrain reservation it depends on the comfort most expensive arround 150€ for a single sleeper with private shower and WC :) Single Sleeper means a sleep compartment for just one person :)

  1. depends on the Route you take :) as some reservations only can be done as printed reservation.
  2.  Printed means here that Interrail/Eurail have to print them on a special ticket paper and have to ship them to you somehow :)

    E-Reservations are done online (sended by E-Mail to you) and sometimes have to be printed (by your self at home) or can be shown from your mobile phone :)  this depends on the Country and train your are traveling on :)
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

Thank you Seewulf !!!

As we will be traveling for an extended period, sending paper to us will be counterproductive. 
 

I guess I’ll have to explore which trains to avoid. 
 

regards to all,
