Omio

Omio (formerly GoEuro) is a Berlin-based transport aggregator for trains, buses and flights across 1,000+ carriers in 39+ countries, so pick your trip, then book through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Omio is particularly strong for European rail (Trenitalia, Renfe, SNCF, DB, ÖBB, Eurostar, Italo, Thalys) plus intercity bus operators (FlixBus, National Express, ALSA) and low-cost airlines (Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling). Book via omio.com or the Omio app and activate ShopBack via the ShopBack Omio merchant page to earn cashback on eligible bookings at the current published rate.

Omio does not run a traditional points-based loyalty programme. Instead, an Omio account stores payment methods, past bookings, and Prime membership status. Omio Prime is a paid annual subscription giving priority customer support, exclusive discounts on select routes, and free e-ticket changes on eligible bookings. Non-Prime users can still book any route on the platform. Booking under a logged-in account also enables the Omio app for mobile tickets, live delay tracking, and platform information. Cross-check current Prime pricing and benefits on omio.com before signup.

Omio itself does not run mega-sale windows because ticket prices are set by underlying carriers. However, the strongest windows to buy European rail through Omio are: national carrier advance-booking release windows (typically 3-4 months before departure for Trenitalia, Renfe, SNCF, DB), Black Friday and Cyber Monday (November 27 and 30, 2026) when FlixBus and select rail carriers run promotional windows, January flash sales from ÖBB and DB for spring travel, and Trenitalia Super Economy fares released 3-4 months out. Cross-check Omio versus direct carrier price where the itinerary is single-country. Prime members access select route discounts year-round.

Omio's cancellation and change policy mirrors the underlying carrier's fare rules. Flexible train tickets (SNCF Second Class Flexi, Trenitalia Base, DB Flexpreis) can typically be changed or refunded with a small fee. Non-flexible tickets (Trenitalia Super Economy, SNCF Prem's Non Flex, Renfe Basico) are usually non-refundable and non-changeable. Bus tickets from FlixBus and similar carriers usually allow changes up to 15 minutes before departure with a fee. Flight tickets follow the airline fare-family rules. Omio Prime members get free e-ticket changes on eligible bookings. Cross-check the specific fare rules on the Omio booking page before purchase.

Omio and Trainline are the two dominant multi-country European rail aggregators. Trainline is UK-listed with deeper UK rail coverage (all UK operators including Southern, LNER, Avanti) and the most polished mobile experience for cross-border European itineraries. Omio adds broader bus and flight coverage alongside rail, making it a multi-modal choice for trips that combine rail plus long-distance bus (FlixBus) plus low-cost flights. Both charge a small booking fee in addition to the carrier price. For a UK-heavy itinerary, Trainline typically wins on coverage. For a multi-modal cross-Europe trip, Omio often wins on breadth. Cross-check both against the underlying national carrier direct.

For US travellers deciding between Omio point-to-point tickets and a Eurail Global Pass, the break-even sits at roughly 6+ travel days across 3+ countries in a 15-day window. Point-to-point on Omio wins on: locking specific reserved seats on TGV, AVE, Frecciarossa, and Italo (Eurail pass holders still pay mandatory reservation fees on these); accessing Super Economy advance fares released 3-4 months out; and flexibility on last-minute regional trains without reservation. Eurail Pass wins on: multi-country flexibility, spontaneous itinerary changes, and heavy travel-day count. Cross-check on Omio and Eurail before locking. See our Eurail vs point-to-point train tickets 2026 guide.

Omio displays prices in USD by default when the account country is set to the United States. At checkout, US travellers can choose to pay in USD (Omio handles the FX conversion using its published rate) or in the underlying carrier's local currency (EUR, GBP, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK), which is then converted by the US card issuer at the network rate. Paying in the local currency with a no-foreign-transaction-fee card (Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture X, Bilt, Amex Platinum) typically saves 2% to 3% versus Omio's built-in FX conversion. Always decline dynamic currency conversion at any card prompt.

Omio delivers most tickets as mobile e-tickets displayed in the Omio app or emailed as PDFs. Trenitalia, Renfe, SNCF, DB, ÖBB, Italo, Eurostar, FlixBus, National Express, Ryanair, and easyJet all support Omio mobile e-tickets on major routes. Some regional operators or connecting itineraries may require a collection reference to print at a station kiosk. Save the Omio app offline before travel in case of no data signal. Screenshot the mobile ticket as backup. Cross-check the delivery method noted on the booking page before purchase, since a station-collection ticket adds friction versus a direct-to-phone e-ticket.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Open Omio from the ShopBack Omio page, log in to your Omio account to keep your Prime status and saved payment details, and complete the booking. The current Cashback is shown on the Omio page on ShopBack.

Yes. That includes a flexible ticket cancelled within Omio's refund window or a trip that is not travelled.
