Greyhound Senior Discount
Quick answer: Greyhound doesn’t list a senior discount anymore. For years seniors 62 and up got 5% off, and some sites still say so, but Greyhound’s own Deals and Promos page now only lists a military and veterans discount. The best way for seniors to save is to book early and ride midweek.
What happened to the Greyhound senior discount?
The old deal was 5% off unrestricted fares for riders 62 and older. Greyhound has changed how it sells tickets since then (it’s now owned by the same company as FlixBus), and fares are priced much more like airline tickets, going up as the bus fills. The current Greyhound deals page doesn’t mention seniors at all.
If you do see a “Senior” option when you pick passengers on greyhound.com or in the app, choose it and compare the price. If you don’t see it, the discount isn’t offered for that trip.
How seniors can save on Greyhound tickets
- Book early. Greyhound itself says advance tickets are cheaper.
- Go midweek. Tuesday and Wednesday trips tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday.
- Veterans: WeSalute+ members get 10% off select fares.
- Watch for sales. Greyhound runs promos like Black Friday deals. Sign up for emails to hear about them.
- Traveling in a group of 10 or more? Call Greyhound about group rates.
Is Amtrak cheaper for seniors?
Sometimes. Amtrak still has a senior fare, so compare both before you buy. See our Amtrak senior discount page for details.
