Planning a trip involves much more than booking a train.

You need somewhere to stay, things to do, transport when you arrive and, sometimes, internet access, travel insurance or even a place to store your luggage.

That’s why RailClick is designed to make the travel experience easier beyond the train journey itself.

As a RailClick user, you can discover additional travel services from selected partners, helping you organise more parts of your trip in one place.

One train booking, more ways to plan your trip

A European trip can involve many different bookings.

Instead of searching separately for accommodation, activities, airport transfers and other travel services, RailClick connects travellers with a selection of services that can complement their train journey.

Depending on your destination and needs, these can include:

  • Accommodation
  • Tours and activities
  • Airport and hotel transfers
  • Luggage storage
  • eSIM connectivity
  • Travel insurance
  • Car rental
  • Visa services
  • Sightseeing experiences

The idea is simple: your train journey is only one part of the trip.

Find things to do with Civitatis and GetYourGuide

Arriving in a new city is just the beginning.

Through partners such as Civitatis and GetYourGuide, travellers can discover tours and experiences in destinations around the world.

Civitatis offers selected tours and activities, with immediate confirmation and experiences available across a wide range of destinations.

GetYourGuide provides a broad marketplace of activities and experiences, including options such as mobile tickets, flexible cancellation and experiences designed to help travellers avoid queues.

This means you can plan not only how to get there, but also what to do once you arrive.

Find your accommodation with Booking and Hostelworld

Once your train is booked, you’ll need somewhere to stay.

Booking offers access to millions of properties, with features such as free cancellation available on many stays and verified reviews.

For travellers looking for a more budget-friendly or social experience, Hostelworld focuses on hostels and accommodation for different types of travellers, with options around the world.

Whether you’re planning a weekend city break or a longer European adventure, having accommodation sorted alongside your transport can make the planning process much easier.

Make airport and hotel transfers easier with MyTransfer

Getting to and from the station is another part of the journey that is easy to overlook.

MyTransfer offers private transfers that can be particularly useful for connections between airports, railway stations and hotels.

Its service includes fixed prices, professional drivers and door-to-door transfers.

So your journey doesn’t have to stop when you leave the train station.

Travel light with Stasher

Changing cities with a suitcase isn’t always convenient, especially when you arrive before your hotel check-in or have several hours before your next train.

Stasher provides luggage storage, with secure locations, online booking and flexible opening hours.

The service is currently available in London, Paris and Barcelona.

This can be particularly useful if you want to spend a few extra hours exploring a city without carrying your luggage around.

Stay connected with Kolet eSIM

Your phone becomes an essential travel tool when you’re exploring Europe.

You may need it for tickets, maps, translations, restaurant reservations or simply keeping in touch.

Kolet provides eSIM connectivity with instant activation and coverage across many countries, helping travellers avoid potentially expensive roaming costs.

That means you can arrive at your destination and stay connected without having to search for a local SIM card.

Protect your trip with HeyMondo

Unexpected situations can happen even when everything has been planned carefully.

HeyMondo offers travel insurance with features including medical assistance, trip cancellation and 24/7 support.

For longer or more complex trips, having travel insurance can be another useful part of your travel preparation.

Need a car at your destination?

Train travel and car rental don’t have to be competing options.

You can use the train for the main part of your journey and rent a car when you reach a destination where having your own vehicle makes exploring easier.

DiscoveryCar allows travellers to compare car rental providers, with free cancellation options and worldwide coverage.

This can be particularly useful when combining major cities with destinations that are easier to explore by road.

Other services to make your trip easier

Depending on your destination, RailClick’s travel ecosystem also includes additional services.

VisaGOV provides visa-related services and manages visa applications quickly when the origin and destination countries allow it.

Cooltra offers transport services in selected cities, including Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Rome, Milan, Turin, Lisbon and Paris.

For travellers exploring Italy, City Sightseeing offers hop-on hop-off sightseeing experiences.

Availability varies depending on the destination, so always check which services are available for your trip.

Why plan more of your journey with RailClick?

The biggest advantage isn’t simply having more services available.

It’s convenience.

When you’re planning a trip, you don’t want to spend hours opening dozens of websites just to organise a few days away.

RailClick brings the train journey together with complementary travel services, helping you move from:

Where am I going?

to: How am I getting there? Where am I staying? What am I doing? How will I get around?

That’s the difference between simply booking a train and planning a complete journey.

Build your trip around the experience

Imagine a trip like this:

London → Paris → Brussels → Amsterdam

With RailClick, the train journey can be just the starting point.

You can look for:

  • Your train connections.
  • Accommodation.
  • Activities in each destination.
  • Transfers.
  • Luggage storage where available.
  • Connectivity.
  • Travel insurance.

Instead of thinking about each booking separately, you can start thinking about the entire journey.

Your journey, beyond the train

RailClick’s goal is to make travelling by train easier, but the experience doesn’t have to end when you book your ticket.

By connecting travellers with accommodation, activities, transfers, connectivity, insurance and other useful services, RailClick can help simplify the practical side of travelling around Europe.

One platform. All trains. And more ways to make the journey yours.

Final thoughts

A great trip isn’t just about getting from one city to another.

It’s about having a place to stay when you arrive, knowing what you want to see, getting from the station to your hotel and having the flexibility and tools you need along the way.

That’s why RailClick goes beyond train tickets.

Book your journey, discover useful travel services and make every part of your European adventure easier to plan.
