At the time you rent a car, present your pass and 1 car voucher for each rental day. Seat Reservations and Overnight Travel A pass allows the boarding of a train, bus, plane, or boat, but does not guarantee a seat. Seat reservations are optional for most trains but are mandatory for all TGV, Thalys, Cisalpino, AVE, Pendolino, ETR 500 and X2000 trains and selected EuroCity and InterCity trains and for all sleepers and couchettes.
Reservations are subject to availability so reserve in advance.
Reservations for all seats, sleepers, couchettes and trains noted above are subject to an additional fee for pass and ticket holders. Seat reservations, sleepers and couchettes can normally be purchased from Rail Europe at the same time that you buy your pass. Use the special notes box on the Order Form to specify reservations when you book your pass. Confirm drop-off conditions at time of reservation. Be sure to reserve your car in advance as they are subject to availability.
