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.

Great price and customer service
June 13, 2023

I had a credit card issue as I used Discover and a non US-based airline didn't accept it, I got a another type of card and successfully booked the flight with a cheaper price compared to the market at the same time.

These people are liars and they hire people to write 5 star reviews about them. They do not honor their guarantees.

StudentUniverse attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Hi, StudentUniverse did not guarantee any free cancellation regarding your booking, especially with a budget airline and we do display rules and limitations for such flights. If you meant the travel insurance, we suggest you contact the insurance company directly for compensation. We do not hire people to write 5 star reviews for us; if we do, we could have paid to get your review removed. However, we do guarantee that we did not and will not pay to write good reviews or remove negative ones.

Faster confirmation email
May 13, 2023

I got my confirmation a little bit late maybe ~10 min later than I booked. During that time I was anxious about whether I wrote the wrong email, thinking about how I can find my confirmation again. Fortunately, I got the confirmation. I wished that would be faster but maybe the website was busy.

Good price - easy check out
May 13, 2023

Good price - easy check out; integration with my booking to airline was a bit bumpy, so had to login on carrier site after to confirm my reservation.

Otherwise: quick and easy.
