Buy a Young Persons Coachcard and Save
Take 1/3 off our Standard and Fully Flexible fares any time
Simple savings for young people
If you're aged 16 - 26 or are a full-time student our Young Persons Coachcard gives you ⅓ off all our Standard and Fully Flexible fares and 15% off travel to events and festivals, all for just £12.50 a year or £30 for three years.
So whether you're looking to renew your existing Coachcard or to buy a new one - sign up and start saving today.
How much is a Young Persons Coachcard?
Our one-year Young Persons Coachcard is just £12.50* - that's a little over £1 a month and it's more than £15 cheaper than a railcard.
Alternatively, you can purchase our three-year Coachcard for £30, which saves you even more and means you have all your travel sorted for your entire time at University. Simply choose the one or three year Coachcard option in the panel at the top of this page.
All we ask is that when you book a ticket you make sure you check the Coachcard box and enter the number of Coachcards required in the journey planner.
Don't forget to carry your Coachcard with you whenever you travel, along with your ticket and proof of age.
* Plus £2.50 postage and packaging.
How much will I save?
You'll save a guaranteed 1/3 off Standard and Fully Flexible fares throughout the UK for 12 months (or 36 months with a three-year card.)
With the Young Persons Coachcard, there are no restrictions on peak and off peak travel times, so you can travel whenever it suits you. This includes public holidays, Bank Holidays and weekends - perfect if you're a student at university, college or working.
How do I buy a Young Persons Coachcard?
Purchasing your Young Persons Coachcard is quick and easy. Simply complete your details and your Coachcard will be posted to your home address (£2.50 p&p will be added to your purchase).
Your Coachcard can take up to 7 days to be delivered and if it hasn't arrived 24 hours ahead of your planned journey, then call our Contact Centre.
Alternatively, give us a call and we will post your Coachcard out to you (£2.50 p&p will be added to your purchase). You can also purchase Coachcards from one of our ticket outlets.
