im in the same boat as you! my brother and i have uk passports, but his gf has only australian. if they come travelling with me, need best options to take, seeing as my brother and i cant use our british passports for eurail

Optimus — if you build a trip in our trip planner, the app automatically gives you the option for the best rail pass. Take a look at it then price point to point tickets.

EU/Brit citizens can use interrail instead of eurail. Have you taken a look at those options?

Interrail, for European residents/citizens is very similar to Eurail, for non-Europeans. There are differences, mostly for the most exclusive “name” trains, but you should be able to either avoid those or pay the extra supplement with interrail. You will be able to travel together without any trouble — using rail passes, point to point tickets or a combination. You can use the trip planner or railsaver for a recommendation about the best Eurail pass for your itinerary and then figure out which interrail pass works best.

http://www.interrail… is the best site I’ve found about interrail.

unfortunately i cant use interail with my british passport, as it says you have to be living there for 6 months or more

Can’t you buy a Eurail pass since you aren’t technically a UK resident? Failing that, just buy point to point tickets. If you look for advance purchase specials on the individual national rail company websites (links in a sticky at the top of this forum or under “transportation” on the “travel tips” tab) you could actually save money over using a rail pass. If you just buy tickets at the station, you probably won’t spend much more than you would with a pass. On many itineraries it’s cheaper to buy tickets than to use a rail pass.
