StudentUniverse Reviews Summary

StudentUniverse generally enjoys a positive reputation for providing affordable travel options, particularly for students and young travelers. Customers frequently commend the competitive pricing and ease of booking, often highlighting significant savings on flights. However, the company faces notable criticism regarding its customer service, particularly during high-demand promotions, where long wait times and difficulties in reaching support representatives are common concerns. Issues with confirmation and communication further detract from the overall experience. While customers appreciate the value offered, enhancing customer service responsiveness could significantly improve satisfaction levels.

Double booking
June 12, 2023

I so very much appreciated the cancellation of one of my reservation as my computer somehow rebooked twice! Great service and contact the purchaser! I'm so grateful!

Thank you so much!

Unclear Picture
June 11, 2023

The process is very clear and easy no doubt. But what happens once you book? The picture is not clear at all and very confusing.

Hi Elizabeth, sorry you felt that way. Most of the bookings will be confirmed and ticketed within 24 hours; passengers could contact us if it exceeds 24 hours. Your booking was confirmed and ticketed 3 hours after payment received.

Found a cheaper price elsewhere
July 7, 2023

I thought I booked the ticket with a fair price but I found a cheaper price ticket on another website with change and cancel option...so I'm really regret right now.

Such overreach in the documents you ask. For such a benign reason of booking tickets for a family member. Never had that with any other OTA.

Hi Chandrika, sorry you felt that way. We ask for extra documents in order to provide our customers as well as the card holders. Since the passenger and the card holder are not the same person, we have to verify it is the card holder that authorizes the transaction. We do not ask for all the sensitive info; we simply would like to verify the information provided matches what has been put in the booking. Thanks for your understanding.
