Prime Student: £4.49/month with a 6-month free trial
Students get the longest free ride Amazon offers anywhere: a 6-month Prime Student trial, then £4.49/month (half price) for up to 4 years. It includes the same delivery benefits and Prime Video. You'll need a valid student email or proof of enrolment.
Is Prime UK worth it?
If you order more than about once a month, delivery savings alone usually cover the fee — and Prime Video rides along. One caveat from our price data: the same product is often cheaper on Amazon Germany or France even after cross-border delivery, and buying there doesn't need a UK Prime membership. Compare before you renew.
How to cancel Amazon Prime
Your Account → Prime membership → Manage → End membership. If you haven't used the benefits in the current period, Amazon typically refunds it. Trials can be cancelled immediately and keep running to the end of the trial period.
