It may be easy and seamless, which is why I bought my ticket from them, but I paid 40% more than my walking partner, who has a higher tolerance for Renfe’s quirky website.+1 for Trainline. I just booked several tickets for intra-Spain travel this spring and it was an easy, seamless process.

I was told to just put in a Spanish number and so I put the number of a friend in there and I managed to buy my tickets but I’ll tell you what. I will never go through Renee again. I have the app and even though I paid for two tickets for four different train rides, it’s only showing one ticket and there’s nobody to get help from so I’m just gonna have to wait till I get to Madrid. If you have any other other option, I would not go through Renee again.hola,
I have been trying to book a train from Madrid to Sarria to meet with friends on the Camino. The process works until the payment page. It asks for an email address and a phone number. The problem is with the drop down menu for the phone number. By default the country code is “34”. But when I use the pull down menu it has a series of numbers, none of which match the country code for the US. When I put in my 10 digit number, it won’t accept it.
Does anyone know the proper code? What is frustrating is that early in the booking process, when it asks for your phone number, a list of codes by country name drops down.
Thanks,

The Renfee site is quirky at best. I’ve had this issue with the country code before and just ignored it. Purchased and printed tickets, no problem. I do have better luck paying with Amex on Renfee - always have problems paying with Visa.hola,

I used to have trouble with my credit card being accepted on Renfe, so I used PayPal instead, but I recently bought a train ticket on the Renfe site, and my card was accepted with no problem.My main problem with Renfe isn't so much the quirkiness of the website, but the fact that I've never been able to get it to accept my payment details.
I had trouble too. Ended up downloading the app. Got our tix from Porto - Vigo there. Now have our tickets in my virtual wallet! Did notice that their updates roll out slowlyhola,

Just to utter a mea culpa. It is true that my Trainline ticket cost 40% more than @C clearly, and today I learned why. I must havebut I paid 40% more than my walking partner, who has a higher tolerance for Renfe’s quirky website.
I have had a first class seat with a hot meal served on the AVE between Madrid and Zaragoza. I think I clicked on the wrong button, too, but it was a nice change of pace and a pleasant surprise.Just to utter a mea culpa. It is true that my Trainline ticket cost 40% more than @C clearly, and today I learned why. I must have
inadvertently clicked on a higher class of ticket, because I am sitting in a wider seat in a different class than she is. And I got some food on the AVE. So I was clearly not comparing apples to apples.
