Renfe Over-60s Fare
Renfe offers up to 40% discounts for those aged over 60 with the Tarjeta Dorada. The card costs €6 for one year, €12 for two years, and €15 for three years. If you are travelling on AVE and AVE international trains, you can get a 25% discount. For Avant trains, discounts vary between weekdays and weekends: during weekdays, you can get a 25% discount, while on weekends, you can receive a 40% discount. Note that all services provided with discounted tickets are the same as those with full-price tickets. The same applies to whether changes and refunds are allowed.
Renfe Children Fare
Renfe offers 40% off ticket fares for children under 14. Children are able to choose seats on AVE, AVE International, and Avant trains, and to make changes or refunds based on the ticket type chosen, although this may incur a fee. Children under four years old travel for free but are not permitted a reserved seat and must sit on the lap of an adult passenger. Please note that, on Cercanías trains, the age limit for free travel without a seat is under six years old.
Renfe Group Fare
Renfe offers travel discounts of 8% for groups of four to nine people travelling on AVE or AVE International trains. Groups of 10 to 25 people travelling on AVE, AVE International, Avant, and Cercanías trains can also receive up to a 50% discount. For groups of more than 25 people, you can submit a quote to see if it will be accepted. Please note that all Renfe group tickets are non-changeable. If you need to cancel, the entire booking must be cancelled according to the original ticket's terms and conditions, and a fee will apply.
Renfe Disabled People Fare
Renfe's discounts for disabled people offer up to 40% off, though you will need to spend €6 on a Tarjeta Dorada, which allows you to travel on AVE, Avant, and Cercanías trains for one year. Please note that the discount on Avant trains is greater on weekends. If you wish to refund or change your ticket, it will depend on the type of ticket chosen and may incur a fee.
