wow, that one is way nicer than the old version! I like it.

Thanks – Will and Georges worked hard on it and we think it is a huge improvement too!

Much improved. Good work, Will and Georges.

oh! great, I had no idea the people on this website were the ones running it! That’s good because they do such a good job with this one (one of my favorite travel websites).

I especially like the map feature on the railsaver site. It’s sort of like the Eurotrip thingy on here.

That’s a nice tool. When will the ability to purchase tickets be functioning?

It should be ready in the next week or so. When we launch the ability to book on www.railsaver.com, we will also launch the ability to book in the Eurotrip Planner.

I will update this thread when the ability to book is added. If you want to be notified, just subscribe to this thread…

Cheers

It works pretty well, but one problem is that it only allows 15 cities. If you’re having a longer trip, or plan on doing multiple day trips, this could become an issue.

great add to the site, very helpful. I agree with Feicht though, my trip consist of more that 15 cities so i had to cut some out for it to work. I would also suggest that there might be a way to import your eurotrip that you have already put together on this site (since it includes exact dates and how you plan to travel train, etc) into the new railsaver, just to same time and make it easier to work with instead of having to manually re-enter all of it. it looks great though, also very helpful, thanks

Okay, can you help me? Every time I enter the information then hit find railpasses it ‘beeps’ at me and puts a red outline around the arrival and destination cities. What am I doing wrong? Thank you! Brynne

Did you put the full city name followed by a comma and country? The red box means that the info was incomplete. There should be an auto complete where you type part of the city in and the entire city and country will be listed below which you can click on.

I started to type in Venice then it would show the Venice, Italy (or some other Venice). I would pick that one and that was what it would show in the box. I’ll try again. It seemed easy to use but I couldn’t get it to work so I figure it’s me.

It’s not just you blally, I checked it out and it will not work for my query either.

Ok guys, I will forward this comment to our developer… thanks for the report on that.

Sorry guys, I am working on this. We did some network changes that had some side effects. Hopefully we will be able to resolve this issue soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience…

To add onto Swill’s comment, in the meantime you can always book passes by using the trip planner.

Quick question, from what i have been reading railsaver.com inst allowing us to buy tickets? i only ask because my trip mapped out would cost me 215$ in rail tickets but when i use the trip planner it charges me 300$. so i am wondering whats up with that?

The suggestion for your trip is: Eurail 3 Country Benelux/France/Germany 5 Day 2nd Class Youth Select pass which costs $296. Where did you get the $215 from?

Got that using railsaver.com Entered my cities Paris – amsterdam – berlin – prague selected trains/over night and find passes. It came up with 215$ but i wasn’t able to buy tickets. looking at the details it says i will be using 2nd Class Youth City-to-City Tickets.

Cool, I see… City to city tickets are just tickets that you can purchase from the rail station. Apparently according to rail saver that would be cheaper than getting a pass. There is no need to purchase them ahead of time, simply when you arrive in Europe you can get them from the rail station agents.

is there a way to confirm those prices? or buy them ahead of time? i dont want to end up there at the rail station only to find out that the prices were wrong and a pass would have been cheaper.

Look at the national rail site links pinned to the top of this forum. Most have English options. Check the youth prices as if booking for travel today—to get a good picture of what same-day prices will be.
