Student Cards
In numerous countries, any attraction that is remotely educational (such as museums, historic sites, archeological digs and cultural/heritage centers ) have reduced prices for students. But to be eligible for these reduced prices you need to prove that you are a student. Unfortunately (for most non students) the only way to do this is to show your student ID card,

A lot of colleges and universities have their own ID cards, also, unfortunately these are not sufficient, you need to buy an intentionally recognized ID card. The most common type of student ID card is the ISIC or International Student Identity Card, this is accepted in most countries and is carried by millions of students world wide. Officially endorsed by national governments, international organizations and student organizations, the ISIC can get you reductions in transportation, accommodation, restaurants and also at some retail shops, throughout the world. Teachers can also get a travel ID card (called ITIC) that offers similar savings.

Always ask for student reductions, many places do not give them unless first asked for.

Your ISIC card can also provide you with basic medical coverage and allows you access to a 24-hour help line for a range of emergencies, medical, legal, and financial services, including locating a doctor or lawyer.

To get an ISIC card you are have to be a full-time student and older than 12 years of age, BUT on the Travel Cuts page it states

"Not a Full-time student?
Non-students and part-time students, 25 years or younger, are still eligible for many of the ISIC discounts with the International Youth Travel Card. Full-Time teaching professionals can also receive discounts with The International Teacher Identity Card. Ask for details at your local Travel CUTS/Voyages Campus office.;
This is well worth checking out.
You can purchase your ISIC card at most university and college campuses, Travel CUTS (order forms online) and Council Travel. At around $16.00 US, an ISIC card could save you this many times over.

Don't forget...while you are traveling, ask about student discounts BEFORE you pay.

Youth Hostel Membership
There are thousands of youth hostels around the world offering accommodations at a bargain (in most countries you don't even have to be a youth to sleep in these hostels). Although not all hostels belong to the International Youth Hostelling Federation (IYHF), it is still wise to get an HI membership so you can call ahead to reserve a bed and get cheaper rates. Known as Hostelling International (HI) and Youth Hostelling International (YHI), HI and YHI are run by the national Youth Hostel Association under the auspices of the IYHF. Look for the tree and hut in the triangle (pictured right) to find an IYHF hostel. Visit our hostels page for more details on hostels.
