Why Does RedCoach Offer a Year-Round Discount for Veterans and Military Families?

Veterans Day is an important moment for our nation to pause and express deep gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our military members and their families. At RedCoach, our appreciation is year-round. This is why we offer a standing 10% military discount—it’s not a temporary deal, but a simple way to recognize the commitment of our active service members, veterans, National Guard, Reserve personnel, and their immediate families.

Your service deserves more than just a thank you; it deserves comfort, convenience, and savings whenever you travel. We know that travel, whether for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), Temporary Duty (TDY), or just a much-needed family getaway, should be easy and stress-free.

What Amenities Can I Expect on RedCoach?

Forget cramped quarters. When you choose RedCoach, you get a premium, first-class experience designed for relaxation or productivity:

1. 1. Ultimate Comfort: Wide, spacious seats that recline up to 140 degrees, allowing you to truly rest during your journey.
2. 2. Stay Connected: With free 5G Wi-Fi and personal power outlets on every bus, parents can check their inboxes while kids settle in for some Bluey time.

What Is the RedCoach Luggage Policy for Military Families?

One of the biggest headaches for military families is moving gear. Unlike most commercial travel that charges high fees, RedCoach offers a remarkably generous luggage policy. Every ticket includes a policy that allows you to bring two checked bags, each weighing up to 50 pounds, plus one carry-on item, all completely free of charge. This feature provides genuine financial and logistical relief for families on the move.

We believe claiming your active military and veteran savings should be simple and automatic. We’ve eliminated the need for complex promotional codes, making the discount a basic part of the fare. You can find full details on our military discounts page.

How to Book Online:

1. 1. Start Your Search: Go to the RedCoach booking page and enter your travel details.
2. 2. Select Passenger Type: Before checking schedules, it is essential to select the specific “Veteran/military” option from the passenger type menu.

Important: Verification at Boarding

When you board the bus, simply present a valid military ID (such as a Common Access Card, VA ID, or other accepted photo identification) to the driver along with your ticket to confirm your eligibility.

How Does the RedCoach Network Connect Military Hubs in Florida and Texas?

RedCoach operates a vital network across Florida and Texas, states with some of the nation’s largest veteran populations and critical military installations. Our routes serve as essential corridors for service members and their families.

1. 1. Florida Network: We link key leisure and logistics hubs like Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and more, providing affordable ground transport for families heading to vacation spots or accessing major cruise ports.
2. 2. Texas Network: We connect massive veteran communities and military support areas, including San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, as well as university towns like College Station – with a stop on campus at UT Austin. This makes visiting family or completing a TDY assignment much easier.

Are There Other Ways to Maximize Travel Savings Besides a Bus Ticket?

The RedCoach discount is just the beginning. We encourage you to utilize other resources designed to help military families save even more on travel and vacations, especially those with services in the southern United States. If you’ve got a family and friends interested in traveling too, you may be able save even more if you swap your military discount for up to 25% with a group discount.

What Kind of Affordable Vacation Packages Are Available for Military Service Members and Veterans?

The Armed Forces Vacation Club (AFVC) is a free membership service offering access to resort rentals worldwide. Eligibility is broad, including active duty, veterans, reserves, DoD civilians, Gold Star families, and, critically, the immediate families (spouses, parents, and children) of all eligible members.

The AFVC is an incredible resource because it offers family-sized accommodations, often including full kitchens and living rooms, for one low weekly price—frequently starting around $349 per unit, not per person. This can lead to massive savings for family trips to destinations like Orlando or Texas, areas directly serviced by RedCoach routes.
