It is a known fact that travelling is the dream of many students, and that money is the biggest factor that holds students back. The costs quickly add up, and alongside funding university life, travelling feels unrealistic. This is exactly why student discounts need to be maximised and taken advantage of.
...your student discount can help you all over the world...
Many think that student discounts are only useful locally around university. Whether it be reduced coffee after lectures, money off your Wednesday night social costumes, or even cheaper takeaways...
What many people don’t realise is that your student discount can help you all over the world and save money on aspects of travel you may never have considered.
The popular app UNiDAYS offers significant deals and discounts that could transform your travels and immensely reduce spending.
Additional offers with Trip.com include 50% off hotels and hostels, as well as 10% off e-sims. Student Beans also currently offers 20% off FlixBus bookings and up to 10% off train fares.
It is deals like these that can make travelling suddenly seem significantly more manageable. From transport and accommodation to tours and activities, your student discount opens the door to cheaper travel, enabling you to travel without the huge pressure of managing costs.
It might even mean you're left with a bit of money in your bank account at the end of the holiday!
It is so overlooked and underestimated...
Student discount is only available to us for such a short period of our lives, and more often than not, we forget it is there and we don’t think to look and check. It is so overlooked and underestimated, and as a result, students miss out on so many chances to save money.
Not only does it help manage everyday costs, but the difference it could make on an interrailing trip in Europe or backpacking in Asia would be huge. So, if you want to travel but aren't sure how to make it work, let UNiDAYS or Student Beans be your first search and see how student discounts could help you travel.
