How It Works
Hostelling International is a membership based non-profit organization. Buying a membership supports our hostels and our programming nation wide. In return, members enjoy a discounted rate at any HI hostel (in the States, ~$3/night) and become a part of their local hostelling community. HI - USA membership is recognized at HI hostels worldwide.

Benefits
  • Access to more than 4000 hostels in 80 countries worldwide, including more then 70 hostels in the United States.
  • Free booking at HIhostels.com.
  • Commission free currency exchange through TravelEx.
  • Discounts with American Airlines and Trek America.
  • Local discounts in shops that display the blue triangle in their store window.
  • Up to $1,400 in basic international travel insurance, free email access, voice mail and travel info thru ekit.
