June 21st marked the official start of summer! A time for friends and family to come together and enjoy some time off after a grueling COVID-19-filled winter. This speaks volumes to travel healthcare professionals across the nation who are finally ready for some well-deserved relaxation.
As you start to prepare for travel accommodations like hotels, airfare, and maybe buying a new swimsuit or two, you may start to find your expenses quickly adding up. SkyBridge Healthcare has compiled a list of airlines, hotels, and car rental companies, that are offering awesome deals for travel nurses and other Healthcare Professionals.
Sales, Discounts, and Deals for Healthcare Professionals

Airfare Savings
Although we haven’t listed any specific airlines offering discounts to travel healthcare professionals, we’ve come up with the top websites/apps (For Android or iOS users) to save money on flights.
Skyscanner – Use their website or free app to access the cheapest flights online. Skyscanner aggregates the best flight deals from the internet to provide you with an easy list view to compare prices. Their “Everywhere” feature allows you to view the best deals departing airports nearest you on your selected dates. Talk about convenience! Keep in mind; that you do not purchase tickets directly through Skyscanner. When you’re ready to purchase, you’ll be directed to the airline’s website.
Kiwi – Most search engines try to find you a flight with the same airline but not Kiwi. This unique website (and easy-to-use FREE app) collects the best deals among all airlines. Great for anyone looking to save some money. Their new “Deals” features allow you to see incredibly cheap prices from your preferred airport, depart/arrival dates, and flight type (Direct/Indirect).
Hopper – Hopper (App only) is awesome to utilize if you’re not committed to a particular date range. The calendar view is great to see what days will save you the most money on flights. The cheapest flights will be shown in green, while the most expensive flights will be highlighted in red. You can “watch” flights to be notified of price changes and be informed on whether to wait to book or purchase now.
Car Rental Savings
Below you’ll find a few savings on car rental companies for travel healthcare professionals, but may we offer an alternative? If you’re visiting a city with public transportation, this can be a great way to save money and really experience the city’s culture. You may also want to check out bike rental shops near your vacation destination to save some cash. If you’re choosing the bike option, be sure to check the weather beforehand! The last thing you want to do is get stuck in a massive storm while exploring on wheels.
Hertz – Up to 25% off car rentals for travel nurses and first responders.
Enterprise – Up to 25% off car rentals for travel nurses and first responders.
Budget – Up to 25% off car rentals for travel nurses and first responders.
Saved The Best for Last
Our last word of advice is to plan ahead but stay flexible. Things happen, flights get delayed, excursions don’t turn out the way you plan, and hotel pictures aren’t always what they seem to be. Vacations are a gift that not everyone gets to experience, so make the most out of it and enjoy the unexpected. SkyBridge Healthcare wishes you big savings and big smiles this summer.
We hope you found these discounts and offers for travel nurses and healthcare professionals helpful! If you find any others that we haven’t mentioned, please share them in the comments.
