Senior Only Discounts and Deals

Rental car companies welcome seniors, sort of. On the one hand, they offer discounted rates on certain car models. For those who prefer more active pursuits, the National Park Service offers a senior lifetime pass for $10 that admits a carload of people per pass-holder. While there are no age ceilings for car renters in the U. S. , senior drivers in Europe are often precluded outright from jumping behind the rental wheel. AARP members can show their card at any Borders, Borders Express or Waldenbooks and get a 10% discount on all paperbacks every day. Another freebie worth pursuing is to let the booking agent know whether this is a special "senior" anniversary or birthday celebration cruise. But then they also raise their hackles (and sometimes their rates) for drivers over certain ages. Cruise lines generally lower their prices by 5% for those 55 or older. It might only get you a candle on your cupcake and an embarrassing serenade by the crew, but some higher-end cruise lines send balloons to your cabin with a fruit basket and even a split of champagne.
