Rail And Drive Passes

 
Rail-Drive passes - available in Eurail, Euro, & Country versions. They are a good value if you want to split your car travel up into a day or two here and another there! Train days are best spent on long hauls going from big city to big city. Car days are most enjoyable when exploring the countryside. Many clients find the new Select Pass 'n Drive an economical way of taking care of Scandinavia as well as Spain/Portual driving /rail needs.  

Should you need 3 or more car days in a row, TERC recommends buying a rail pass and a separate car rental to save more $. The cheapest car rental is under $100 for 3 days of rental in Germany. See Car Rental for other countries and their various prices. See: Driving in Europe

Country Rail Passes

Country Railpasses come in 1st and 2ed class for any age and some countries have rail drive pass combinations. "Saverpass" versions are available in many for additional savings. They provide good savings when focusing on 1 specific country. In combination with Euro or Eurail passes and point to point tickets for short rail days, you can add even more $$ savings.

  Rail Pass Protection/Insurance
  Rail Europe's Pass Protection Plan.  It will reimburse you for the unused value of your pass should it be stolen or lost during your travels.   Just purchase our plan for only $10.00 -17.00 per/pass (or set) U.SD. at the same time as you buy your pass. Pass Protection applies only to Railpasses and reimbursements don't occur until you return home.  This means you are responsible for purchase of your transportation for the balance of your trip.  We recommend switching to 2nd class pt to pt tickets or contact TERC for a new pass &/or advice.

Pass Protection Claims  To make a claim you must 1. get a police report re theft/loss which must be filed with your claim, 2. file claim with RailEurope upon your return home.  TERC IS GOOD AT FACILITATING THIS PROCESS.  To reach TERC call 808 395-2083 or toll free 877 581 6594 .  tercmele@aol.com  (The full procedure and conditions for obtaining reimbursement are listed in a flyer accompanying your pass) woops! did that disappear too?!

    I have a question to ask TERC

If you have questions about any of these passes, please phone TERC at  808 395-2083 or toll free 877 581 6594 or E-mail: tercmele@aol.com
