RateHawk, an online B2B platform for booking hotels, air tickets and transfers, has introduced a rail travel booking service on its platform. This means that RateHawk's partners—travel advisors, operators and other industry professionals worldwide—can now book rail tickets across various European destinations. The platform, which reached an agreement with Rail Europe, the global reference brand for European train booking, complements the existing travel options already available on RateHawk (which includes accommodations, flights, car rentals and transfers).
The launch of the rail service allows RateHawk’s partners to book all travel components within a single system. Rail tickets are available across 13 European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the UK, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic and Austria.
An advantage of the new launch is its intuitive and convenient interface, which allows travel professionals to compare rail ticket options for the entire day in a single window. This feature streamlines the process for travel advisors, allowing them to quickly filter options based on client preferences and easily select the best choices for their clients. Travel professionals will lso have the flexibility to book trips using various payment methods, including payments by card, wire transfer, credit limit or overpayments, or by pay-by-link options. A particularly important feature for travel professionals is the ability to book railway tickets using their credit limit.
Rail Europe's product portfolio features leading railway carriers across Europe, including Italo in Italy, Renfe and Iryo in Spain, SBB CFF FFS and Rhätische Bahn in Switzerland, ÖBB in Austria, TGV InOui in France, Rail Delivery Group in the U.K., Eurostar in France, the U.K., Netherlands, and Belgium, as well as RegioJet in the Czech Republic.
RateHawk offers travel advisors, operators, TMCs, and other professionals a full range of travel services.

In addition to accommodation, the B2B platform also offers flights from over 400 airlines, transfers in 150 countries, car rentals and more.
