I would just go by the Deutsche Bahn timetables. The one you get with your pass (or not) is bound to be very incomplete, unless is the size of an encycopledia.

Ok, thanks, that`s what I wanted to know, but I would like more replies if possible. I would really appreciate if other people put what they think about this situation in order to have different point of views (or if everybody feelsthe same about it). Thanks again Seraphim for the quick reply.

I believe the timetable is supposed to come with the railpass no matter what site you buy from and anytime I’ve gotten "free shipping" it was the whole package, not just the passes. The 2003 timetable was 125 pages of pretty small print, so it covers just about every train you’re likely to take between cities.

BTW, "buy a railpass" at the top of this page and railpass.com/new are sponsors of this forum. Raileurope.com is not a sponsor and (in the US at least) charges more for shipping. I would look at several sites and compare actual/final/total prices in Canadian $. Sometimes how the exchange between US and Canadian dollars is figured makes a price difference. In the past, it’s been better to buy from a US site that will take your Canadian credit card. The credit card company gives you the actual exchange rate as opposed to the railpass website charging you based on an unfavorable exchange rate. However, 1) free shipping may be a better deal than exchange rate differences and 2) since the US dollar is weak compared to the Canadian dollar right now, the prices on the Canadian sites might be lower.

Well, first, thanks, but that’s the thing. I had taken a look at the difference of prices between US and CAN before writting my first post. Right now, the exchange rate between US and CAN $ is not that of a great deal for me (canadian) as it could have been in the past years, but I think I’m still saving around 70$ CAN. OldLady, I thought about buying it from a US site, but am I allowed to do it? I am asking the question because on eurail.com they refer canadians to raileurope.com/canada which is for canadians only and on some sites it’s written: This site serves U.S. residents only. Non U.S. residents please choose: Canadian, UK or Other Countries. When I choose canadian, I only got the prices in Canadian dollars. The shipping from US to Canada is 35$ US but Canada is not even in the choice of countries in the list. Within Canada, there is no shipping fees (raileurope.com). I think it is mandatory for me to buy it from a canadian site in canadian dollars. Even if I’m still confused, you helped me a lot, so thanks.

Railpass.com/new appears to sell to and ship to Canada. Shipping fee to Canada is $20 US. I do not know if that includes the $12 shipping credit they give for orders over $250, or not.

Finally, I can buy it for 882$ US on eurail.com with no shipping fees (will receive within 5 days) and the insurance (i know you’re against it OldLady). This corresponds to about 1100$ CAN for the actual exchange rate.
If I buy it in canadian dollars, it’s 1159$CAN, so I get about 60$ more if I buy it in US $.
I don’t know if they take the exact exchange rate (or if they take the one they want) on my credit card though. It’s a VISA.

Looks like you’ve shopped wisely. Remember your friends at eurotrip when you’re drinking that extra $60 (Canadian) worth of beer.
