Rail Monsters is an independent tech platform — not a state-subsidized rail operator. While we connect directly to our suppliers and global ticketing systems, our pricing reflects both third-party access costs and the value-added services we provide.
Here’s why prices may be different:
• We do not use restricted or local-only promo fares that may be limited to regional residents
• Some rail operators display outdated inventory or fares that cannot actually be booked — we only show real-time, confirmed prices
• In some markets, suppliers charge higher rates to OTAs (like us), and those are passed through
• All prices are shown in your local currency — your bank may apply an additional exchange or cross-border fee
• Our prices include processing costs, technology fees, and human infrastructure — which most official websites don’t have to account for
More importantly, you’re not just buying a train seat — you're booking through a premium global platform built for international travelers:
• 24/7 multilingual human support — something rail operators rarely offer
• One account for all countries and suppliers
• Advanced tech: live train data, automatic ticket recovery, smart notifications, and refund/cancellation tools
• Travel extras: destination guides, eSIMs, weather, platform data, seat selection AI, and more
We exist to simplify international rail travel — and our pricing reflects the reliability and services our customers expect.
