How to Get Cheap Student Travel
- 1). Book your travel through STA Travel or Student Universe. Both of these travel agencies offer student discounts on both domestic and international airfare, as well as international rail passes, hotels and vacation packages (see Resources).
- 2). Visit the Student Advantage website (see Resources) if you plan on traveling with Amtrak or Greyhound. Enrolling in the Student Advantage program will give you a 15 percent discount rail fare and a 20 percent discount on bus fare.
- 3). Look into staying in youth hostels. Hostels afford basic accommodation to young travelers at rates that are often cheaper than hotels (see Resources).
- 4). Purchase an International Student Identity Card (ISIC). This is a discount card that will give you discounts at museums, restaurants, stores and many other places worldwide (see Resources).
