Pass
Spain Rail Pass
A pass. You buy a number of travel days and then use participating services in Spain without buying a ticket for each journey.
The issuer's own terms
The detail below is quoted from the issuer's own page in the language they publish it in. We do not translate another company's conditions, because a translated condition is a condition we have changed.
- What it covers
- A multi-journey pass for Renfe's own long-distance and regional network in Spain: AVE and other Larga Distancia high-speed and long-distance trains, plus Media Distancia and Avant regional services, each used with a seat reservation. Renfe's page also describes onward use of Cercanías (commuter rail) around the pass journey's start or end.
- Who can buy it
- Sold only to people whose residence is outside Spain. A passport or foreign residence card must be shown at access control to prove non-Spanish residency. The pass is personal and non-transferable.
- How long it lasts
- Buyer selects 4, 6, 8 or 10 one-way journeys at purchase. The pass must be used for its first journey within 6 months of purchase, and all journeys must then be completed within 1 month of that first use.
- What it costs
- Price varies by number of journeys and seat class (Standard or Comfort); the official Renfe page did not display a fixed price figure at the time of this check, so no stable issuer figure is confirmed here. Not verified.
- Seat reservations
- Each journey requires a seat reservation, made against a specific date and train after purchasing the pass; the pass itself is not valid for unreserved travel.
- What catches people out
- Restricted to non-residents of Spain, checked against ID at boarding. Cancelling within 24 hours of purchase is free if unused; after 24 hours a cancellation charge (around 15%) applies to the unused pass. Comfort seating is not available on all train categories included in the pass.

What this does to an Orlero price
Nothing, yet. Our fares are point to point and are not adjusted for a pass or a card you hold. Use this page to work out whether the scheme is worth buying, and use search to find out what the same journeys cost without it.

Tarjeta Dorada
Issued by Renfe
A discount card. You buy it once from Renfe, then it takes a set percentage off ordinary fares in Spain.
Plan a trip from here
A pass only pays for itself against the journeys you actually make. Ask Ori for the trip and it will price the point to point fares our network holds, which is the number a pass has to beat.
