About Eurail Global Pass Family Card (Non-Consecutive Days)
Travelling across Europe with children is one of the most enriching and memorable family adventures possible — and the Eurail Global Pass Family Card (Non-Consecutive Days) makes it significantly more affordable by allowing children aged 4 to 11 to travel completely free alongside each paying adult on the pass. With up to 2 free child passes available per adult, a family of 2 adults and 4 children can travel across the entire European rail network on their chosen days with only 2 adult passes to purchase.
The Family Card operates on the same Flex Pass system as the standard Eurail Global Pass Flex — choose your travel days freely from any days within a 1 or 2-month validity window. Spend 5 days moving between Paris, Amsterdam, and Bruges, then rest for a week in the Swiss Alps before using another travel day to continue to Italy — the pass adapts entirely to your family's rhythm without penalising you for the days you spend in one place. Each travel day covers unlimited train journeys from midnight to midnight, meaning a morning connection, an afternoon scenic train, and an evening arrival in a new city all count as a single travel day.
The pass covers the national rail networks of all 33 participating European countries and is entirely digital — managed through the Rail Planner app for iOS and Android. Each family member has their own pass activated in the app, with individual QR code tickets generated for each journey. Children's passes must be linked to a travelling adult's pass, and children must travel with the accompanying adult at all times. Seat reservations on high-speed and night trains are required separately at an additional cost — reservation fees apply even for the free children's passes, so budget accordingly for popular routes. Children under 4 travel free on all services without a seat reservation. Book your Eurail Global Pass Family Card (Non-Consecutive Days) now on Thrillark and save up to 20%.

Insiders' Tips
Book seat reservations for all family members — including the free child passes — as early as possible on popular high-speed routes. Reservation fees apply even for children travelling free on the pass, and family groups need multiple seats together which are harder to find close to the departure date. On regional trains where no reservation is required, simply board freely as a family and generate QR codes in the app before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Eurail Global Pass Family Card Non-Consecutive Days?
The Eurail Global Pass Family Card (Non-Consecutive Days) is a flexible Eurail Flex Pass for families travelling across Europe, where children aged 4 to 11 travel completely free — up to 2 per accompanying adult — on any chosen travel days within a 1 or 2-month validity window. It covers 33 European countries and is managed digitally through the Rail Planner app on iOS or Android.
How many children can travel free on the Eurail Family Card?
Up to 2 children aged 4 to 11 can travel completely free for each accompanying adult holding a valid Eurail pass — meaning a family with 2 adults can bring up to 4 children free of charge. Additional children beyond 2 per adult in the 4 to 11 age group must pay the youth fare, and children under 4 travel free on all services without requiring any pass at all.
What is the difference between the Family Card and the standard Eurail Flex Pass?
The Eurail Global Pass Family Card is the same product as the standard Eurail Global Pass Flex, but includes the free child pass benefit — up to 2 children aged 4 to 11 travel free per accompanying adult. The pass options, validity windows, and travel day system are identical — the Family Card designation simply confirms that the free children's passes are included alongside the adult passes in the booking.
Do children need seat reservations even if they travel free on the Eurail Family Card?
Yes — seat reservations on high-speed and night trains are required for all passengers including children travelling free on the Family Card, and reservation fees apply for every family member. This is one of the most important things to plan and budget for in advance, particularly for family groups who need multiple adjacent seats on popular routes like TGV Paris to Lyon or Frecciarossa Rome to Florence.
Can children travel without the adult on the Eurail Family Card?
No — children travelling on a free child pass linked to the Eurail Family Card must travel accompanied by the adult whose pass the child pass is linked to at all times. Children cannot use their free pass independently or with a different adult. All family member passes must be activated and managed together in the Rail Planner app.
How does the non-consecutive travel day system work for families?
Each travel day covers unlimited train journeys for all family members from midnight to midnight on that chosen calendar day. Travel days do not need to be used consecutively — you can use a travel day on Monday to travel from Paris to Amsterdam, spend three days exploring the city, then use another travel day on Friday to continue to Copenhagen. This flexibility is ideal for families who want to spend meaningful time in each destination rather than moving every day.
What happens if we have more than 2 children aged 4 to 11?
Each accompanying adult with a valid Eurail pass can bring up to 2 children aged 4 to 11 free of charge. If your family has 3 or more children in this age group and only 2 adults, the additional children must each purchase a separate youth Eurail pass rather than travelling free under the Family Card benefit. Children under 4 continue to travel free regardless of how many there are in the group.
Is the Eurail Family Card available to EU and UK residents?
No — the Eurail Global Pass Family Card is available exclusively to non-European residents. Families resident in EU countries or the UK should purchase the equivalent Interrail Global Pass Family Card, which offers the same free child travel benefit, the same 33-country coverage, and the same flexible travel day options at the same pricing structure.
Which countries can our family visit with the Eurail Global Pass Family Card?
The Eurail Global Pass Family Card covers the national rail networks of 33 European countries including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, and Great Britain among others. Local urban transport including city metros, trams, and buses is not included — separate tickets are required for the Paris Metro, London Underground, and other city transport systems.
Do I need to book the Eurail Global Pass Family Card in advance?
Yes — purchasing in advance through Thrillark saves up to 20% on the standard rate with instant confirmation and all family passes issued immediately. The pass can be activated within 11 months of purchase, and seat reservations for high-speed routes should be booked as early as possible once your family itinerary is confirmed — adjacent family seating on popular summer routes is harder to secure the closer you get to the departure date.
