A Student’s Guide to Traveling on a Budget

With summer fast approaching, students yearning to explore the world can rejoice as the money-saving experts at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk unveil invaluable advice and practical tips on how to embark on exciting adventures without depleting their bank accounts.

As university students eagerly anticipate graduation and others conclude another year of study, young adventurers across the nation are setting their sights on thrilling travel plans to unwind and rejuvenate after the stress of essays, assignments, and exams.

From comparing prices and opting for hostels and public transport to capitalising on student discounts, there are various ways in which students can secure significant savings on their escapades.

Charlie Stirzaker, the student savings expert at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk, affirms, “Travelling is an incredible experience that should be accessible to every student. With careful planning and shrewd money-saving strategies, it’s entirely feasible to explore the world while adhering to a student budget.”

Here are NetVoucherCodes‘ top tips for budget-friendly travel and student holidays:

  1. Embrace Package Holidays

For an affordable dreamy getaway, package holidays prove to be ideal in maximising the value of your next trip. All-inclusive deals are particularly beneficial for students looking to save on food and drinks. Comparing prices ensures you secure the best possible deal, granting you savings per person. Whether you seek sandy beaches or vibrant cities, these thoughtfully crafted package holidays will help you make the most of your travel budget.

  1. Party Holidays for Students

This summer, students across the country are swapping studying for sun, sea, and parties. Explore party destinations with all-inclusive packages that not only save money on food but also offer unlimited food and drink throughout the day. Travel retailers like Jet2Vibe cater to party-goers, providing package deals for nightlife holidays and clubbing experiences. Additional tips include using cash instead of cards and disabling data roaming to further economise.

  1. Book Tickets in Advance

Save money by booking event tickets in advance. Many clubs in popular destinations such as Ibiza, Magaluf, and Zante offer discounted tickets for events when purchased ahead of time. Don’t forget to explore group discounts to amplify your savings. Plan ahead and secure your spot for unforgettable nightlife experiences.

  1. Tap into Student Discounts

Unlock exclusive student discounts to reduce travel expenses. Websites like Student Beans and UNiDays offer discount codes for flights, luggage, tourist attractions, and more. Explore flight comparison sites like Kayak, as well as leading travel brands such as Ryanair, Jet2Holidays, and Loveholidays, which extend student discounts through UNiDays and Student Beans.

  1. Opt for Budget-Friendly Accommodation

Trim down travel costs by choosing hostels over hotels. Hostels not only provide affordable lodging but also offer opportunities to immerse yourself in local culture and connect with fellow travelers. Embrace a vibrant social community and forge new friendships while staying well within your student budget. Resources like Booking.com and Hotels.com are invaluable for finding shared accommodations and hostels.

  1. Capitalise on Duty-Free Shopping

Take advantage of duty-free shopping to unearth tax-free bargains at airports. Duty-free shops offer discounted prices on designer sunglasses, aftershaves, and more. Grab miniature spirits for your journey, bypassing the expense of onboard drinks. Stock up on duty-free items and revel in savings with friends.

  1. Backpacking on a Budget

Allocate a daily budget, purchase tourist tickets in advance, and adhere to luggage allowances to avoid additional costs. Be sure to compare flights using websites like Flightscanner, Skyscanner, and Kayak to find the most affordable deals. Leverage student discounts and promotional codes provided by flight companies. Seek out affordable meals, budget-friendly accommodations, and cost-effective transportation. Seek advice from locals regarding economical cafes, restaurants, and hostels to safeguard your budget. Opt for public transport and make the most of day passes and return tickets.
