Hi All, My name is Shirley and I am trying to buy tickets (trains and plane) on the above websites. Can anybody tell me if they are legit? Also, can you buy the tickets if you are a US citizen? Are the above two sites the same company or different? Thanks for the help in advance, Shirley

If you are buying Renfe tickets you need to use rumbo.es. They are not offered on rumbo.com. Look for "Trenes" on the mene bar across the top. Yes, US citizens can buy tickets there. I bought several Renfe tickets from them 2 years ago. You need to be able to navigate the website in Spanish, and inform your bank in advance that you will be making a purchase from Spain. They charge the same prices as REnfe (including Promo fares), actually discounting them a bit and then adding a handling fee. You will get a printable ticket from Renfe so be sure to do this on a computer hooked to a printer. The charge will show up as 2 separate charges-one from Renfe and one from rumbo.
