RAIL and DRIVE PASSES

Combining rail and car travel in Europe is best of both worlds. Rail and drive passes will let you split your car travel up with a day or two here and another there! You can take the train for your longest distances, then pick up a car at the rail station and drive to a charming hamlet.  Eurail Drive Passes allow you to spread your car travel among 17 countries.   The Selectpass Drive Pass is an excellent value if you are visiting 2 or 3 countries.  Travellers through Scandinavia will find this a convenient and economical way of handling their drive and rail needs.  For those who are focusing on one country only, check out Single Country Rail and Drive Passes.

However, should you need 3 or more car days in a row, TERC recommends buying a rail pass and a separate car voucher to save more $ money.   see  Car Rentals
