Neither Eurail nor Rail Europe operates trains. Trains are operated by SNCF (France), DB (Germany), etc. and other National Carriers. Eurail & Rail Europe are ‘Ticket Brokers.’ So, whichever you choose, you will be on the same trains from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ as had you chosen the other.
Check the offers for Benelux! Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands & Luxembourg) is treated as a single country for EurailPass Issuers

1. Netherlands is part of “Benelux” = Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg. That counts as one country on Eurail and you’ll probably want a pass that covers it.

2. There isn’t much of a rail system in Greece, so you’re not likely to take the train much and tickets are fairly cheap if you do. Trains are relatively cheap in Italy. The cost of a reservation (required on many Italian trains and not covered by the railpass) is often as much as the price of the ticket. Thus, a pass might not pay for itself in Italy. Since it’s easy to buy tickets (with reservation if needed) from the automated kiosks, but sort of difficult to buy “just a reservation” to use with a railpass, a pass isn’t any more convenient than just buying point to point tickets in Italy. The deciding factor for covering Greece and Italy will be whether or not the free ferry passage between the two countries is worth it. This takes some serious research into railpass “bonuses” and which specific ferries are covered.

3. I see absolutely no reason for a 1o day pass. 8 days will be plenty.

Have you tried the railsaver option on your “eurotrip?” It will calculate which, if any, pass or passes it thinks is best. It’s a pretty good recommendation on what’s best for your specific itinerary.

4. Finally, “Eurail” is the association of European national rail companies. It offers special railpass for non-Europeans that are good on Europea trains. “Rail Europe” is one of dozens of on-line travel agencies that sell those railpass and it’s a direct competitor to the folks who kindly sponsor this website. The price for a railpass is the same no matter which travel agency you buy it from. Sometimes there’s a variation in shipping costs or the way currency fluctuations affect the price on a specific day, but generally the price is always the same.

So I should got with Eurail then.
What I’ve got from your post is that they’re the same thing, so I might as well go with the cheaper price. I’ll go check out the rail planner. I think I would need 10 days because I have to get back to London from Greece most likely, because that’s the cheapest option for me. (850 round trip via Thomas Cook)

This is what it says for me
Eurail Global 10 Day 2nd Class Youth FlexiPass
In addition, expect to pay about $150.00 per person in city-to-city tickets.

How does the reservation process go, how far in advance do you need to reserve a place?
What is included/standard & what costs extra?

My advice is you can use Auto Transport to your tour. if you go in a train it is takes time but it gives more fun and save money in your pocket.

I have no idea what that is, but car is not an option.
Don’t have my liscense and don’t plan on getting one any time soon.
I’ll be going by train for sure.
I have another question, what are the trains like inside, is it like an airplane with just a few seats together, or are their compartments like in the movie Eurotrip?

Actually, the Eurail site also acts as a travel agency and sells the railpasses at the same price. So…

1. Shop around for free shipping and other freebies and,
2. If prices are equal then support our sponsors and buy using the “bookings” tab at the top of the page

Look at http://www.seat61.co…. He has a lot of pictures of various trains.

The type of cars used can vary with the train. Also, we took a train from Rome to Naples, and they were apparently very crowded so they dragged some old cars out of storage and added a second train, so we weren’t in the type of car we anticipated, but we got there just the same.

I’ve seen trains that have rows of seats with no compartments, so I guess that is like an airplane, but I’ve never seen one as mashed together as on airplanes; you always have decent room.
