Personal Travel Budgets

What is a Personal Travel Budget?

A Personal Travel Budget enables you to make your own arrangements independently (offered automatically if this is the most cost-effective travel assistance option.)

A Personal Budget is a sum of money given to parents or carers to enable them to arrange their child’s travel in a way that suits their circumstances best.

The budget allows families complete freedom to choose the best possible travel option for their child, with flexibility to change over time. Read our Guide to Personal Travel Budgets (PDF) for more information.
