The company, specializing in selling Eurail Passes for train travel online in Europe, offers four passes through 25 countries, including the Czech Republic, Denmark, Montenegro and Switzerland.

Its four passes include the Global Pass, covering travel in 21 countries, the Select Pass to travel in three, four or five countries, the Regional Pass and the One Country Pass. The Global Pass and Select Pass sales have both increased by an average of nine percent.
