Welcome to the ItaliaPass community! If you purchased Italy train tickets with ItaliaRail, your ticket purchase includes the Basic ItaliaPass. A Basic ItaliaPass comes with every ItaliaRail purchase at no extra charge, but it has limited benefits (ItaliaTours - $25 off, ItaliaDrive - $10 off, Premium Italy Magazine – 1 month).
During the ItaliaRail booking process, you can also choose between two different ItaliaPass products with extended benefits, for an additional charge. These two products are called ItaliaPass Viva and ItaliaPass Primo. The benefits are slightly different (the Viva doesn't include all of the benefits that the Primo includes.)
To locate your Member ID and promo codes for booking your benefits, you'll need to check your email inbox and/or spam folder for an email with the sender name ItaliaPass, sender email [email protected], and the subject line:
Everything You Need for Your ItaliaPass.
Here are the differences between the ItaliaPass Viva and the ItaliaPass Primo:
