Fully customise your train trip. The Elige ticket allows you to configure every aspect of your trip, so that you can adapt it to what you need, including the type of seat on which you wish to travel, Estándar or Confort:

  • If you choose Elige Estándar, you will travel in the Estándar seat
  • If you choose Elige Confort, you will travel in the XL Confort seat

In addition, the Elige ticket gives you increased flexibility, because the first change is free of charge (all other changes will incur in a charge of €10) and you will be refunded for 70% of the ticket amount in case of cancellation. You can also earn Renfe Points for your purchases and use them on subsequent trips or with our partners. Remember that you will always get the best deal if you buy your ticket in advance.
  • Travelling in the Estándar seat, with reclining seats, reading light and power socket, or XL Confort seat, to enjoy more leg room and comfort during your trip.
  • The first change can be made at no cost (you will only pay the difference in price of the new ticket, if any). The following changes have a cost of €10 per change. If the new ticket is priced lower than the original, the difference will not be refunded.
  • If you cancel the ticket, we will refund 70% of the amount.
  • You can also change the ticket holder for only €20
  • Missed trains: if something comes up and you miss your train, you will be able to change your ticket to travel on the next one paying a 30% surcharge, provided that you request the ticket after departure of the train and within the next 30 minutes of its departure.
Read the terms and conditions of the Elige ticket
  • The changes and cancellations add-ons (Unlimited free changes, Puente AVE (high-speed), Full Refund and Superflex pack) can only be purchased at the time of purchase of the ticket and are not available for Básico tickets. Choose an Elige or Prémium ticket to enjoy a greater flexibility.
  • All tickets can be cancelled free of charge within 2 hours after purchase.
  • All AVE (high-speed) and Larga Distancia (long distance high-speed) tickets are individual tickets with the passenger's name on, so we can contact you if needed. When you are travelling, do not forget to bring a valid ID document with a photograph (national ID card, driver's licence, residence card or a passport). Identity checks may be carried out during the check-in process or on the train.

If you travel on AVE (high-speed) or Larga Distancia (Long Distance) trains, your ticket includes the Combinado Cercanías (Commuter), which allows you to travel on Cercanías (Commuter) (Suburban), Rodalies (Commuter) and the Alicante TRAM network. You can use the Combinado Cercanías (Commuter) from 4 hours before departure and up to 4 hours after arrival at your destination.

Purchase a Combinado Cercanías (Commuter) ticket at Self-service Machines and ticket offices, scanning the barcode or entering the code on your ticket. At stations in Cercanías (Commuter) hubs in Madrid, Malaga, Valencia and Murcia/Alicante, you can access the Cercanías (Commuter) network directly by scanning the two-dimensional barcode on your AVE (high-speed) or Larga Distancia (Long Distance) ticket at the turnstiles, so you do not have to wait at self-service machines or ticket offices.
