How to get Audible free in the UK

Amazon's online audiobook program is known as Audible. If you don't have time to read a book anymore, it's a fantastic way to listen to the finest of fiction and non-fiction while doing something else or commuting, especially since the world has begun to open up again following lockdown.

It's similar to the online Kindle shop in that you can buy thousands of audiobooks and listen to them on a variety of devices.

We all know Audible has paid membership to experience its full advantage but is it actually possible to get Audible for free in the UK? Let’s find out:

If you're brand new to the service, the obvious first step is to sign up for the 30-day free trial.

You simply need an Amazon account to do so, which you need to sign up for Audible. You will then be able to try it out for free for one month. The trial also allows you to download your first two books for free of charge, with no price restrictions, among the many thousands of selections available.

After the 30-day trial period, you will be charged £7.99/US$14.95 a month, unless you cancel the trial before the end date. Regardless of whether you cancel, you will still have access to all of the books you downloaded during the trial period. That is literally the only way you can get audible for free and you would still need to sign up for the paid version to which you must add your card details. After a month you will be deducted and if you Don’t want to be then you have to cancel before your free trial ends which is 1 month.

A monthly subscription to Audible entitles you to one credit. Credits are often wont to buy audiobooks, with each credit redeemable for one single-volume audiobook of any price.

It's worth noting that the United States offers two Audible membership options: Audible Plus ($7.95 per month) and Audible Premium Plus ($14.95 per month). You may sign up for free trials to either tier.

While the Plus membership allows you to listen to the Audible collection and podcasts, it does not provide a monthly credit to purchase an audiobook — the Premium Plus membership does. Customers who subscribe to Premium Plus additionally receive a 30% discount on extra titles and early access to sales.

The Audible membership in the United Kingdom is a little more generous. It is essentially the Premium Plus membership, but with reductions of up to 80% for £7.99.

Even though most audiobooks cost more than £7.99/US$14.95, you still save money. It's worth noting that if you want to buy additional books, you'll have to spend more (most audiobooks appear to cost approximately £20/US$20).

If you possess an Amazon Echo, you may be able to extend your 30-day trial to 60 days.

Yes! You can’t get a free trial for more than a month without Amazon Echo but is there a way to get it cheaper? Keep reading to find out:

Amazon has regretfully terminated its longer 90-day free trial for Amazon Prime subscribers, however, the membership fee is periodically reduced to £3.99 for three or four months. Keep an eye out for similar deals around Prime Day, Amazon's largest sale of the year. It is not free, but it is preferable to paying the entire price.

While this is not guaranteed to work, you may be eligible for a three-month subscription at a discounted fee if you are about to discontinue the service.

You should consider taking advantage of any available credit on your account before proceeding to the Audible desktop site.

When you're ready to cancel, Audible may ask you why you're canceling. If you select the option 'It's too pricey,' you may receive more credit against audiobook purchases or a three-month subscription at half price. Again, this option might not always be available. The procedure may just cancel your account, which is why it is critical to use all your credit before attempting so you Don’t lose everything.

If you're an Audible member, you can also sign up for daily offers. Sign in to your Audible account > Select Email Preferences from the left menu > Audible Daily Deals.

With this notification enabled, you can get Audible books for as little as £1.99, or two for the price of one.
