Discount Cards

ISIC

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is an internationally accepted student identity card that can be used for great discounts both abroad and at home. Not only do you get discount airfare, museum entry, bus and rail passes and more - but you also get travel insurance for the entire validity of your card. Visit the ISIC page of the website to learn more about the ISIC insurance options and to apply for the card through the UTA Study Abroad Office.

Hostelling International

A membership with Hostelling International will give you access to discounted stays at hostels around the world. The Hostelling International website is also a great resource in searching for clean, safe hostels in the cities and countries you are traveling.

Eurail
 

Going to school in the largest US city without public transport, you are probably accustomed to driving anywhere and everywhere you need to go. Abroad, and especially in Europe, travel by train is the way to get from here to there. You can purchase a rail pass valid for a single trip, or a flexible pass that will allow you to jump on and off over the course of a week or months. Travel by train is a great and inexpensive way to explore your host country and neighboring countries.
