Did you folks know that Rail Europe offers offer an exclusive Rail Protection Plan that provides compensation to you in the case of exchanges or cancellations due to medical illness or death, railroad strikes, and in the case of loss or theft in Europe. There are a few good reasons to buy insurance on items, and travel is usually one of those good causes. There are a few different mishaps that can happen, and Rail Europe wants to make sure you have the option to be covered.

Rail Europe, Inc. (“REI”) is pleased to offer its Rail Protection Plan™ for all European passes and rail tickets issued through our company.

• Exchanges: if you need to exchange your pass/ticket due to illness or injury to yourself or illness, injury or death of an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent, or sibling), you will be allowed a one time exchange of your pass/ticket regardless of the fare restrictions.
• Cancellations: if you are unable to use your pass/ticket due to the illness, injury or death of an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent, or sibling) or yourself, the unused portion of the pass/ticket including any cancellation penalties will be reimbursed.
• Strikes - if you are traveling in Europe and your trip is interrupted or stopped due to a rail strike, you will be reimbursed the value of the unused ticket. Coverage for rail strikes only applies to unused tickets and does not apply to passes.
• Loss or Theft – you’ll receive reimbursement on your pass/ticket that is lost or stolen while traveling in Europe. Under the Rail Protection Plan™, Rail Europe will either refund the unused portion of the lost or stolen rail pass/ticket or the cost of replacement pass/ticket, whichever is of lesser value.
