Rail Europe has been selling European Rail products to the North American market for over 75 years. Well known brands and products like Eurail Global Passes, Eurostar (channel tunnel) tickets, National Rail Passes, Premier (high speed) and point to point tickets to virtually anywhere in Europe. And the job keeps getting easier. Because each year, more and more North American travelers figure out what Europeans already know: the best way to travel around Europe is to travel through it, on the train.

The Affiliates Program
All you have to do to earn a commission in our affiliates program is send traffic from your website to ours, and have them book a trip. Then, any valid bookings placed by your referrals will earn you a commission, paid within 60 days of their last trip. We’ve even teamed up with Commission Junction to offer a variety of easy to use links and banners that you can simply place on your website, so there’s no development work required. It’s the perfect partnership opportunity for bloggers, publishers of travel websites or anybody with an audience who may be interested in purchasing rail.
To enroll in our affiliates program, please login or register to Commission Junction.
A Co-Branded Site
Let’s say you have more than a passing opportunity to sell rail. We could develop a co-branded site with you; a fully operational ecommerce website to sell rail, using the same booking tools we have on our own site. We’ll build it, maintain it, and even tailor the look and feel so it’s compatible with your own brand identity. This solution is for preferred partners who can bring a solid volume of traffic and sales. If you’d like more information on co-branding, send an email to sales@raileurope.com
A Travel Agent Portal
Are you a home agent or an agency consortia? Why not have access to our Travel Agent portal, allowing you to directly book rail for your clients and earn a commission. A simple log-in gives you exclusive entry to features designed specifically for the travel agent community to make booking rail even more effortless. And all you need to make it happen is a valid IATA number. Follow this link to setup your elite access.
Web Services
This is for travel partners who operate their own distribution system and are willing to do a little bit of development work on their side. You can seamlessly integrate our rail offerings (passes, point to point, reservations…) into your own website or call center application, and sell rail directly to your customers, alongside your own products. If you’re interested in integrating our web services, please send us an email at sales@raileurope.com
Marketing Opportunities
Do you think you have products or services that could enrich the experience of our customers? Are you interested in exploring joint marketing initiatives? Do you have compelling content for our website? We’re always looking to hear from potential partners and put our creative energies together for the benefit of our travelers.
