Why is Eurail more expensive than Interrail?

score:6

The reason is more likely to be historical, rather than a practical difference with the two passes. As a matter of fact, Interrail actually covers more countries than Eurail with Great Britain being the difference. (note as of 2020, the UK is part of Interrail and Eurail, and both programs cover the same 33 countries)

The Eurail-plan was started in 1959 as a way to originally get American visitors to visit European countries. Interrail on the other hand was started in 1972 and originally it was only available for the European youth under 21. Since then both passes have changed a lot and only recently since 2007 have they been sold by the same company. Essentially they started as different products with different purposes during different times.
