Eurail has retired its name. As of September 10, 2026, the 60-year-old rail pass brand has folded into a single global identity: Interrail.
For decades the split was purely geographic. European residents bought an Interrail Pass; everyone else — Americans, Canadians, Australians — bought a Eurail Pass for the exact same network. That distinction is gone. Every traveler, regardless of where they live, now buys an Interrail Pass.
What actually changes
Nothing operational. The pass still covers the same 33 countries and 35+ rail and ferry operators. Existing Eurail passes remain fully valid under their original terms — no need to swap or re-register. The only real shift is branding: a new campaign called The Interrail Effect, built around the idea that the unplanned parts of a rail trip — a conversation in the dining car, a missed connection, a town glimpsed from the window — matter as much as the destination.
Why it matters
If you’re planning a multi-country Europe trip, you’ll simply see “Interrail Pass” everywhere the old Eurail branding used to be. Bookmark accordingly.
