As of 2026, UK citizens and residents qualify for Interrail passes, not Eurail. The distinction is based on residency rather than EU membership: Interrail is the rail pass range for residents of Europe (including the UK, Turkey, and Switzerland), while Eurail is designed specifically for "overseas" visitors from the Americas, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Despite the UK's departure from the European Union, the Rail Delivery Group confirmed that the UK remains a full member of the Eurail Group. This means a British traveler can use an Interrail Global Pass to explore 33 different countries. One unique restriction for UK residents is the "Inbound/Outbound" rule: your Interrail pass only allows for two journeys in your home country—one to leave the UK and one to return—to prevent people from using it as a cheap season ticket for daily commuting. Beyond that, the benefits, pricing, and coverage of Interrail and Eurail are now almost identical, allowing friends from the UK and the US to travel together on the same trains.
