unlimited travel for the academic year
Kinchkard is the quick and simple way to save money on travel around the Kinchbus Universe. Whether you use the bus every now and then or every day of the week, we'll have a Kinchkard to suit your needs. Just pay upfront and you will receive your Kinchkard in August, then your travel for the rest of the academic year (September - July) is sorted.
You can buy your annual student Kinchkard online, or you can buy one from us at the Loughborough University welcome events.
All students must have a valid academic email address in order to validate your student status.
