Renfe users will be able to obtain the new free commuter passes from today, Thursday, December 29
Renfe can apply for the new free commuter travel passes which are available for Cercanías, Rodalies, and Media Distancia, valid until April 30.
The free passes can be renewed every four months throughout the year. A new Renfe Cercanías app is also available to secure the passes.
In the case of travelling on the Cercanías and Rodalies lines, it is necessary to make a deposit of 10 euros and 20 euros for each conventional Medium Distance service. Payment by card will allow the automatic return of the deposit, once it is verified that the condition of having made 16 trips during these four months has been met.
For children under 14 without ID, a recurring subscription for Media Distancia services has also been created, which can be purchased at ‘renfe.com’ or through the Renfe app. The father, mother, or guardian may acquire, through their NIF, NIE, or passport, a maximum of four child passes for one origin and destination, during the period of validity.
The free extension also includes the Avant services between Ourense and A Coruña and between Madrid and Salamanca that are provided on the conventional rail network, and the new Murcia-Alicante services on the high-performance network. For the rest of Avant’s rail services, the 50% discount has been extended.
This same discount will be applied to other high-speed routes that have been declared a Public Service Obligation (OSP), whose discount passes will be available for travel from January 23 and which will work under the same conditions as an Avant Pass.
