Eurostar Deal Over? Ways to Score Affordable Tickets Yet
In the realm of European travel, the landscape of rail journeys is becoming increasingly competitive, offering travellers more opportunities to save on their trips.
One such platform, Trainpal, partners with over a thousand trusted transport providers across Europe, promising discounted rail journeys. Companies like SNCF, DB (Deutsche Bahn), and Lumo, as well as Eurostar's rivals such as Evolyn, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS Group), Gemini, Getlink, London St Pancras Highspeed (formerly HS1), and Virgin, are among those offering lower prices or promotions on trans-Channel train routes.
Eurostar, a well-known player in this space, has introduced Eurostar Snap. This service allows passengers to choose a travel date and a morning or afternoon time window, with the specific departure time allocated 48 hours ahead. Eurostar Snap offers the potential to save up to 50% on train tickets for groups of up to four passengers, although seating with other members of one's group is not guaranteed. It's important to note that tickets for Eurostar Snap are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-exchangeable.
Experts predict an increase in train and route supply will bring down prices on the trans-Channel lines. Stefano Antonio Donnarumma, the FS Italiane Group chief executive, supports this view, stating that more competition will create a more efficient and customer-oriented industry, offering a real alternative to air travel.
For those seeking additional savings, The Independent is promoting the Trainpal discount codes "INDY25" and "INDYEURO". "INDY25" can save travellers up to 10% on UK railcards and other journeys, while "INDYEURO" triggers an automatic discount of two or five per cent on bookings made between 22 September and 17 December 2025.
First-time Uber users may also reap benefits, receiving a 5% discount on Eurostar tickets. Uber One members receive a 10% discount on Eurostar tickets, a perk that extends to future car rides, train journeys, or Uber Eats orders, valid until 30 September 2025. Trainpal, another option for discounted train travel, works with various providers including Virgin Trains, Trenitalia, NTV Italo, LNER, GWR, DB, Renfe, and others, claiming to offer savings of up to 90%.
Subscribing to Eurostar's newsletter provides updates on flash sales, special offers, and exclusive deals. With these discounts and the growing competition in the rail industry, travelling across Europe could soon become more affordable and convenient than ever before.
