There’s no better time to bag your interrail pass than in the interrail sale! Here’s when to expect them throughout 2024 and how much you you could save.
What is an Interrail Pass?
Interrailing is a way of travelling around Europe by train using a pre-paid pass. The Interrail pass provides unlimited travel on most train networks throughout Europe at a single, fixed price. The pass grants access to 35 railway and ferry companies across 33 countries. In most cases, you can simply show your pass on your phone when boarding a train.
Who Can Buy an Interrail Pass?
The Interrail pass is just for European citizens (that includes the UK) but don’t worry, the Eurail pass is a very similar offering for non-European citizens and they’re currently having a sale too!
Also, there’s a common misconception that you have to be a young person to use an interrail pass – that’s not true! Anyone of any age can get an interrail pass, but the cost will differ based on the years under your belt.

When Is the Next Interrail Sale?
Based on last year’s sales, it’s likely that the next interrail sale will be around Black Friday which is set to land on 29th Nov 2024.
Black Friday interrail discounts have previously ranged between 20 – 25% off and therefore if you can hold off until then, it may well be worth doing so to save a big chunk of money!
However, if your trip is before that – or you’re travelling on a popular route and you want to make sure you get seat reservations in time, then you may be better buying your passes beforehand.
