Student Discounts: Travel & Transportation

Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it. Here are some resources we’ve pulled together to find the cheapest flights, bus tickets, hotel prices, etc. for your journeys.
First of all, and we’ll say this over and over again, always ask if there’s a student discount! Even if it’s not advertised, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one. The worst that’ll happen is they’ll say no!
Choice Hotels - offers a Student Advantage card with which you can get 15% off at certain hotels.
StudentRate - Find discounts for hotels, car rentals, flights, and even cruises!
STA Travel - Find deals on flights, hotels, travel insurance and more.
StudentUniverse - Offers discounts on flights, hotels, tours, groups and more.
BookingBuddy - Find discounts for flights, hotels, vacation packages, cars, cruises, vacation rentals, etc.
CheapOair - Discounts for flights, hotels, cars, vacations, etc.
One Travel - Deals on flights, hotels, cars, vacations & cruises.
Hotwire - deals for hotels, cars & flights
Orbitz - Deals for flights, hotels, cars, activities, etc.
GenerationFly - Specifically for students travelling internationally. Register for free to get started.
BoltBus - Depending on where you need to go, you can get super cheap tickets through Boltbus.
Greyhound - offers a Student Advantage card with which you can save 20% on tickts. With the card you can also save 40% on package shipments sent through Greyhound Package Xpress.
Amtrak - offers a Student Advantage card with which you can save 10% off tickets. You can also earn travel points.
Rail Europe - If you’re between the ages of 16 & 25 you can get discounted tickets! You don’t even have to be a student.
There are many more resources out there, so do some of your own research if these aren’t working out for you.
Good luck!
