Cost of KCC Travel Saver
The cost of the KCC Travel Saver is £615 for the year or £625 if you pay in instalments.
Pay online in full or spread the cost with our Direct Debit option and make 8 monthly payments between September 2026 and April 2027.
The pass costs the same no matter when you apply for it, so the earlier you apply the more value you get, and the longer period you can spread the payments over.
Reduced cost and free passes
Reduced cost pass
If you’ve been assessed as eligible for targeted free school meals and you have a household income of £7,400 or less, you can get a travel saver at reduced cost.
Just select the 'reduced cost' option when applying. No other information is needed and we can check eligibility.

You can spread the cost by making 8 monthly payments between September 2026 and April 2027.
Carers or those in care
Free passes are for:
- registered young carers

You do not need to get your application endorsed, we can check when you apply.
3rd pass free for families with 3 or more children
For households with 3 or more children, pay for 2 full price passes and get the 3rd and other additional passes for free. That means 2, 3 or 4 full year passes would cost £1,230 or £1,240 if paying by instalments.
This offer is not available if any of the passes are reduced cost, free or 16+ passes.
Pay in instalments by Direct Debit

A £10 administration fee is added to the first payment, unless you are applying for the reduced cost pass.
