The title to be able to travel for free on Renfe trains is quarterly, so it is necessary to renew it. In these first four months, 2.26 million subscriptions were issued.
The new free plans for the second quarter for frequent travelers that Renfe offers from this year 2023 have entered into force This Monday, May 1. The validity of the first four-month subscriptions expired yesterday, April 30, so it is necessary to renew them to continue traveling for free on the Renfe Cercanías, Rodalies and Media Distancia trains until August 31.
The procedure is the same as before: subscriptions are free, but the user has to pay a deposit 10 euros in the case of Cercanías and Rodalies and 20 euros in the case of Media Distancia. The deposit will be refunded automatically at the end of the four months validity of the subscription, provided that the user has made a minimum of 16 journeys.
So far, just over 250,000 new free passes (150,000 for Cercanías and 100,000 for Media Distancia) have been issued for the second four-month period.
How to acquire them?
Passes can be purchased through the renfe.com website, the Renfe Cercanías app or at the train stations.
