Because so many students travel internationally, there is a large market directed entirely towards this group of people. There are many ways to save money while traveling as a student. If you fit into this category then you should be taking advantage of as many deals as possible to maximize your dollar. But to be eligible for these reduced prices you need to prove that you are a student. Instead, you must show your student ID card.
Most students already have a student identity card issued by their school or university.
However, these cards aren't recognized internationally. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase student ID that will be recognized wherever you travel. The most common type of student ID card is the ISIC or International Student Identity Card, accepted in over 90 countries and carried by millions of students world wide. Officially endorsed by international organizations, national governments and student organizations, the ISIC can get you reductions in transportation prices on planes, trains, buses and ferries and savings at retails shops, restaurants and accommodation centers around the world. Your ISIC card can provide you with basic medical coverage and allows you access to a 24-hour help line for a range of emergency medical, legal, and financial services, including locating an appropriate doctor or lawyer and replacing lost or stolen documents.
