Rail Europe has kicked off 2023 with a series of new features to meet the growing demands for train travel and a better booking experience.
These new features not only significantly improve booking efficiency but more importantly, reinforce Rail Europe’s position as the leading European rail provider in Australia / New Zealand and globally.
No doubt one of the most exciting features for advisors is the credit option, allowing payments to be made once a month and into a local Australian / New Zealand bank.
Richard Leonard, Rail Europe’s General Manager for Asia & Pacific, says this not only eliminates additional admin work and international bank charges, but essentially, provides advisors the assurance that the company is committed to meeting their evolving needs, while constantly improving the platform’s UX, portfolio of products, and customer service at every level.
“Train is unquestionably the most sustainable, cost effective and scenic way to travel. Our portfolio continues to expand and now includes International DB trains heading to Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, the Netherlands,” says Leonard.
By March, Eurail pass holder fares will also be available to compliment a Eurail Pass booking. This will make Rail Europe the only global distribution partner offering such inventory.
Further, advisors and travellers can look forward to the inclusion of scenic trains requiring a reservation in Switzerland, most overnight trains, as well as services to Eastern Europe via Austria.
Finally, Leonard encourages advisors who haven’t done so to get their login to the Easy Rail Access booking tool, and sign up to Rail Europe’s monthly webinars and closed Facebook group as these will enable seamless payment of commission per booking as well as access to special incentives and exclusive agents offers.
”We cherish the direct and open relationship we have with our advisors who book directly with us on our B2B platform, and who continue to support us as we strive for continuous improvement.”
