Driving home for Christmas; 5 tips for traveling home

It's approaching that time of year, where the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder, and term is almost over! Now it's time to think about how you are going to get back home.

1. Book early

The early the book your ticket home, the cheaper it will be! Save money and hassle, do it today!

2. Leave early

You may be tempted to stay a bit longer for that house party, but with bad weather forecast across the country, don't risk being snowed in and being unable to travel home!

3. Alternative modes of travel

Getting a train directly home may be quicker, but looking into coach travel for tr entire or part of your journey can dramatically reduce your travel costs

4. Planes

It may sound crazy, but depending in where uni is and where home is, planes can sometime be cheaper! Flights from London to Ireland or Scotland can be cheaper than trains if you book early enough

5. Hitch a ride

If a course friend is driving home, ask kindly if you could hitch a lift all the way, or even part way. Petrol money is DEFINATELY cheaper than trains!
