The company gives a series of recommendations to avoid queues and long waits
As of September 1, it will be possible to use Renfe’s free vouchers for Cercanías and Media Distancia. This 100% discount for train tickets is one of the measures that Pedro Sánchez announced in the summer to promote public transport and reduce Spain’s energy dependence. These free trips will be available until December 31 of this year.
To obtain the free pass you must previously register at renfe.com or in the Renfe and Renfe Cercanías Apps. After this simple procedure through the internet, you will be able to purchase it on the Renfe Cercanías App, self-service machines or station ticket offices. Although to enjoy these trips by train you must pay a deposit of 10 euros when you get the voucher at the usual points of purchase. You must keep the QR or the card during the entire validity period of the Subscription, so that the deposit can be refunded later.
Renfe’s tips
Renfe recommends making the payment by credit or debit card since at the end of the 4 months of this measure the money will be credited to you automatically. However, this refund will only be made as long as you have made a minimum of 16 trips. For this, it is important that you do not forget to validate your subscription when you get on. In some cases, you might also need to validate it on exit. To avoid queues and long waits, Renfe recommends obtaining the pass before September 5, since after this date all requests for returning from vacation will be concentrated. Another tip to save you time is to request the subscription from the Renfe Cercanías application. The company warns that the sale of the rest of the usual subscriptions will be suspended. Therefore, those that have been purchased previously will maintain the validity with which they have been acquired and can be used.
