BritRail Pass 'n Drive

Want to vegetate—and navigate? Then, the BritRail Pass ‘n Drive is for you

Looking for the best of both “whirls” as you travel Great Britain? The BritRail Pass ‘n Drive provides the perfect transport choice. Fast and comfortable BritRail trains let you relax on the long hauls, while the freedom of a Hertz car rental lets you leisurely explore the beauty of Britain.

With rail and wheels, you can experience all Britain has to offer…from its modern cities to its medieval towns of old. But perhaps the real beauty of Great Britain is what you’ll discover “behind the scenes”—the lavish countrysides that take hold of your heart with their gorgeous green, mighty oaks, and rolling hills. The BritRail Pass ‘n Drive lets you travel when you want, hopping on and off trains, hassle-free. So you can change your travel plans on a whim. And hop in those 4-wheels for an impromptu tour of some glorious English gardens.

Here's what you get:

  • Rail pass provides unlimited travel on the national rail networks of England, Scotland and Wales, including Gatwick Express, Heathrow Express, Stansted Express and Thames link.
  • Choice of 4 or 8 days of train travel and 2 days of Hertz car rental within a 2-month time period.
  • Choice of 9 car categories; 5 vehicles are available in manual and 4 available in automatic.
  • Travel days may be used consecutively or not.

Rail Europe will coordinate your car rental reservations. However for travelers who wish to make their own reservations, the following applies:

  • The rental car needs to be confirmed over the phone with the rental agency at least 3 days prior to pick-up.
  • Car rental confirmation is subject to availability.
