Country RAIL 'n DRIVE PASSES

We are waiting for some 2008 pricings.  Contact TERC for updates.   Phone TERC at  808 395-2083 or e-mail: tercmele@aol.com

Combining rail and car travel in Europe is best of both worlds. Rail and drive passes will let you split your car travel up with a day or two here and another there! You can take the train for your longest distances, then pick up a car at the rail station and drive to a charming hamlet.

However, should you need 3 or more car days in a row, TERC recommends buying a country rail  pass and a separate car voucher to save more $ money.   see  Car Rentals & Route Planner for Drivers


If you don't see a country you want to use a Rail & Drive pass in below, consider using the Eurail Selectpass or larger Eurail Global Rail and Drive Passes
Passes: BritRail France Germany Italy Scandinavia Spain Selectpass


To split your rail and drive among several countries-- check out the Eurail & Selectpass Drive Passes
