Eurail BV

Profile narrative

Eurail BV, operating under the brand name Eurail, provides rail travel passes that allow holders to travel on the trains of numerous European railway companies. The Eurail Pass offers unlimited travel within a set number of travel days within a defined validity period, primarily targeting visitors who reside outside Europe. A complementary product, the Interrail Pass, serves European residents with similar flexibility. The company also supplies customer service, travel information and digital tools through its website and mobile application to support pass holders before and during their journeys.

Eurail functions as a cooperative sales and marketing entity created by the participating European railways, rather than as a train operator itself. Its core competence lies in bundling access to multiple national rail networks into a single, easy‑to‑use product that simplifies cross‑border travel for tourists. The pass is marketed as a cost‑effective alternative to purchasing individual point‑to‑point tickets, especially for itineraries that span several countries. Eurail maintains a centralized platform for pass activation, reservation assistance and travel planning, which distinguishes it from purchasing tickets directly from individual carriers.

The organisation’s headquarters is located in the Netherlands. The prompt does not disclose Eurail BV’s ownership structure or any parent/subsidiary relationships. In January 2026 Eurail disclosed a security breach in which attackers infiltrated its network and exfiltrated roughly 1.3 terabytes of data, including names, passport numbers, contact details, source code, support tickets and database backups. Samples of the stolen data were shared on a Telegram channel and the complete dataset was offered for sale on dark‑web marketplaces, although the company confirmed it does not store bank or credit‑card information. Following the incident, Eurail notified over 300,000 affected individuals after filing breach notices with U.S. state authorities.
