If you know where to look and how to take advantage of available discounts and travel options, then saving money with Trip.com becomes second nature. Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Traveling during off-peak hours

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save money on your train journey from Preston to Exeter. These tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used during less busy periods, typically outside of the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows for flexibility, opting for off-peak hours can lead to substantial cost savings. It's important to note that in most cities and large towns, off-peak hours usually start at 09:30 from Monday to Friday, while in other areas, they typically begin at 09:00.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're traveling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are planning a trip with a group of three to nine people, there's good news for you! You can take advantage of group travel discounts that are offered by many train companies. These discounts can save you up to 1/3 on off-peak fares, making your journey from Preston to Exeter more affordable. Whether you're traveling with your family, friends, or colleagues, the group save options make it easier for everyone to enjoy the benefits of discounted fares while embarking on a memorable trip together.
