With your Halfords discount, you can save on the essentials that help you get around, keep your car going, and make the most of every adventure.

A coffee between lectures. Lunch with your new friends. A night out. Or a little extra spending money for your next trip.

Here are some of the key moments where Halfords can support you in your student journey…

When you’re finding your feet on campus

New university, new campus, new routine.

One minute you’re trying to find your lecture hall, the next you’re figuring out the quickest way across campus.

For many students, a bike or e-bike can be one of the easiest ways to get around. They give you the freedom to get to lectures, the shops, the gym, and back home again without relying on public transport.

And it’s not just about the bike.

From helmets, locks and lights to pumps and puncture repair kits, Halfords has the accessories and essentials to help keep you moving.

Use your discount on the essentials and keep more money in your pocket for that all important first week coffee run.

When the first big night out arrives

Freshers Week – your first night out with new course mates, or the people in your halls. The first time somebody says, “We'll just get one more.”

If you're driving, you already know the golden rule: don't drink and drive.

But being the designated driver doesn't mean you can't make the journey better.

From keeping your car clean after a busy night out (and any potential throwing up incidents) to making sure you've got the right everyday essentials, Halfords can help you get your car ready for whatever student life throws at it.

And if you're not driving? Your Halfords savings could help pay for that post night out food instead.

One discount. More money for student life.

When you’re heading home for the first time

The first trip home after moving into halls is an important one. You've got a car full of washing, empty food containers and approximately everything you forgot to pack.

If you're driving, it’s also a good time to make sure your car is ready for the miles ahead.

Whether you need oil, bulbs, wiper blades, cleaning products or everyday tools, Halfords can help you look after your car and tackle those little jobs that come with being a new driver.

And if you're not sure what your car needs? You don't have to work it out alone. Halfords vehicle checks will give you the reassurance you need to know your vehicle is road ready for the long journey home.

When you become the friend with a car

It starts innocently enough. “Can you give us a lift?”

Then suddenly you're everyone's airport transfer, supermarket run and designated driver.

If you're going to be putting more miles on your car, a few accessories can make life on the road much easier (and more enjoyable).

Think phone holders, sat navs, air fresheners, car cleaning essentials and dash cams -practical upgrades that can make your everyday journeys safer, easier and more comfortable.

And when your car needs more than an accessory, Halfords can help with that too.

When “we should go away” becomes an actual plan

It starts in the group chat: “We should go away sometime.”

Then someone suggests a date, someone finds a campsite, and suddenly you’re planning your first camping weekend or festival adventure.

Whatever the destination, Halfords can help you get prepared. Stock up on tents, sleeping bags, camping chairs, cool boxes and other outdoor essentials (the last thing you want when it rains is to be in an old, faulty tent).

And with your Halfords discount, you could save on the essentials and put the money towards festival tickets, food, merch, or a few extra treats along the way.

Because university isn't just about where you study, it’s about the places you go. Halfords can help both you and your student budget travel further. When it's time for the big summer adventure After months of lectures, deadlines and exams, summer is your chance to get away.

Maybe you're driving home or maybe you're heading on a road trip. Either way, you're loading up the car for a journey. Need more space? Try a roof box. Taking your bikes? A bike rack can help. Want to make the journey more comfortable? Check out in car accessories.

Need to get your car ready for the road? Halfords can help with that too… And when you don't want to do it yourself… Not every student is secretly a mechanic. In fact, some of us would rather leave anything involving a bonnet, engine or mysterious warning light to someone who knows what they're doing. That's where Halfords can help.
