InterCity Student Discount: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Students can save 10% on bus travel across New Zealand by using this discount program.

This scheme allows students to access a discount on bus travel when traveling between different locations across the country.

Who it's for

This discount is available to students who can provide proof of their current enrollment. To qualify, you must possess and be able to present a valid student ID. This is intended to help students manage the costs of traveling between different regions as they navigate their studies.

What you get

By using this discount, you can receive 10% off your bus fares. This reduction applies to bus travel across the country, helping to lower the daily or occasional transport expenses that can impact a student's budget.

What it costs you

There is no upfront fee or monetary cost to sign up for this discount. However, using the benefit requires a small amount of effort during your journey: you must show your valid student ID to the staff or driver at the time of boarding to verify your eligibility for the lower fare.

The catch to know

It is important to note that this 10% discount does not apply to promotional fares. If you have already selected a ticket that is part of a special sale or a specific promotional deal, you likely will not be able to apply this student discount on top of that price.

How to apply

  1. Verify that you have your valid student ID in your possession.
  2. Check the available bus travel options for your intended route.
  3. Look for the specific student discount option when you are booking your trip.
  4. Present your physical or valid digital student ID to the staff when boarding your bus to ensure you receive the correct fare.
