The Interrail Global Pass gives you unlimited travel on national railways and some ferry lines within 32 European countries (excludes the UK other than to exit/enter) over a certain period of time. You can also get a One-Country Pass if you only want to travel within a specific country.
Occasionally Interrail offers 10% to 20% off passes, but until 11.59pm on Tuesday 17 December, it's offering 25% off all its Global Passes and selected One-Country Passes online at Interrail*. This is the strongest offer we've seen from Interrail this year, and even if you aren't planning a trip soon, you've got up to 11 months from the date of purchase to start using your pass.
No code is needed as the discount has already been applied. Delivery's £14 for a paper pass, or you can get a mobile pass for free.

While the UK is part of the scheme, passes aren't valid in your country of residence, but you can make one outbound journey to your exit border point to start using your Global Pass and one inbound journey at the end of your travels. It's worth noting Eurostar is valid, so you can use it to travel out of/into the UK (there is a seat reservation fee for Eurostar). See more details in this Interrail information PDF, and full FAQs* online at Interrail.

Other need-to-knows
Many high-speed trains (such as the TGV or AVE trains) and overnight sleeper trains can be used, but you'll have to pay additional ‘pass holder supplements’ for seat/sleeper berth reservations on them.
Unlike previous Interrail sales, passes are part-refundable – Interrail says it will charge a 15% fee, or you can exchange your pass for a £15 fee.

25% off 'unlimited' European train travel?
Last year, Interrail offered a discount on its Global passes
ExpiredThe Interrail Global Pass gives you unlimited travel on national railways and some ferry lines within 32 European countries (excludes the UK other than to exit/enter) over a certain period of time. See 'More info' below for where it can be used.
Last year, Interrail offered 25% off passes from Thursday 16 to Tuesday 28 November, for trips beginning before 1 June 2024.
In previous years, Interrail had 10% to 20% off for Black Friday, so last year’s offering was its strongest. As it had a 20% off sale earlier this year, we’re expecting a minimum 25% off again for 2024. We reckon the deal is likely to begin on Thursday 21 November.
If it does offer 25% off, to give an example of prices, an Interrail pass for someone 27 or under, valid for five days within one month, would cost £152.25 instead of £203. The same pass for someone aged 28 to 60 would cost 202.50 instead of £270.
Important: Don't get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and keep our money mantras in mind – only ever buy what you need and can afford. You should always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal available – don't simply take a retailer's word for it.
