An Interrail Pass can be used by European citizens. Non-European citizens can use a Eurail Pass instead, available from Eurail.com for the same price as an Interrail Pass.

No, Eurail and Interrail passes are often priced differently, although they provide nearly identical access to Europe's rail networks. The primary difference is eligibility: Interrail is for European residents (citizens or those living in Europe for 6+ months), while Eurail is for non-European residents (like those from the US, India, or Australia). In 2026, the pricing structures are separate; Eurail passes are priced in U.S. Dollars ($) or other international currencies, while Interrail is priced in Euros (€). Historically, Interrail was slightly cheaper to encourage local European travel, but the gap has narrowed significantly. Currently, the "price" depends on the current exchange rate and seasonal promotions. For example, a "Global Pass" for 15 days of travel might cost $450 for a Eurail customer but €420 for an Interrail user. While the "product" is the same—covering 33 countries and thousands of trains—you cannot choose which one to buy; you must purchase the pass that corresponds to your legal residency status at the time of the trip.
