As of 2026, Italo (Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori) is generally not covered by the standard Eurail or Interrail pass. Italo is a private high-speed rail operator in Italy that competes directly with the state-owned Trenitalia. While Eurail passes offer extensive coverage for Trenitalia’s Frecciarossa, Intercity, and regional trains, Italo remains an independent entity. This means that if you wish to ride an Italo train, you must purchase a separate ticket through their website or app. However, some 2026 travel "Global Passes" occasionally offer promotional partnerships or discounts for Italo, but these are exceptions rather than the rule. For most travelers using a Eurail pass in Italy, it is much more cost-effective to stick to Trenitalia services, where the pass is accepted (though a mandatory €10–€13 seat reservation fee is still required for high-speed routes). Always check the "Rail Planner" app before departure to see which specific train numbers are pass-compatible to avoid significant on-board fines.
