  • 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 future trips or with our partners. Remember that you will always get the best deal if you buy your ticket in advance.

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

Purchase a Combinado Cercanías ticket at self-service machines and station ticket offices, scanning the barcode or entering the code on your ticket. At stations in Cercanías hubs in Madrid, Malaga, Valencia and Murcia/Alicante, you can access the Cercanías 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.
