should be booked as early as possible to save money (as much as 80% off) on advance fares. The cheapest train fares are available at First Transpenine Express as there are no booking fees. Alternatively, students can get 1.12% cashback with
thetrainline.co.uk.
Coaches are a cheaper alternative to trains, but they can take double the travel time to arrive. Our top pick for saving money is Megabus, with journeys starting at £1 between the major cities. If you cannot find a suitable arrival and departure point, then try National Express (2.25% student cashback) as they offer the largest coach network in the UK.
If you are travelling home to somewhere outside of the UK then you will need to look at the best and cheapest options for travel. In most cases flying will be the transport of choice. Air travel can be quite expensive but if you take a look at price comparison sites such as Opodo (up to 3.75% student cashback) you can cut the cost of travelling home.
8. Shipping and Storage
Often students will need to move their stuff from abroad to the UK and back. A reputable carrier called Parcel2Go (15% student cashback) offer worldwide courier services to and from your home at low prices.
Additionally, your accommodation may not provide storage in between term times. However, there are options available to safely store your goods until you need them.
The main considerations for a storage unit should be location of the unit and the price. The two largest companies are Safestore and Big Yellow Storage (£3.75 student cashback). Compare these two with any local storage providers you can find to get the best deal.
