I know just how often people don’t let you know the good things … well, I would just like to pass on to you my highest praise for the driver from Whangarei to Auckland. He was friendly, courteous, polite, efficient and especially made the travel for my daughter and our international students easy and relaxing - especially as some had not previously used a city to city bus before, and none of us had used the nakedbus service.

His personality and manner is a credit to himself and to your company. We are all Naked Bus Converts now …. no more grumpy [competitor] bus for us!!

Well done to everyone!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL CHANGES:

You are able to change your booking by using the Change Booking Form (red box on the home page). You can do this whether you are a nakedbus.com registered member or not. You must enter your reference number exactly as it appears on your confirmation email, otherwise the system will not be able to recognise your number. Make sure the dashes (-) are in the correct places throughout the reference number and that you’ve not put any spaces.

The change must be made more than 24 hours before the original departure time. It is not possible to change bookings less than 24 hours before departure under any circumstances.
Changes will incur the $1.40 change fee plus any increase in price if the new ticket is more expensive than the older ticket. Refunds are not given if the new ticket price is less than the old ticket price.

When changing your booking, make sure you scroll down and click the button to “pay by credit card” (or “pay by nakedrewards” button) at the end, otherwise your change will not be complete.

You should receive a confirmation email immediately with the details of your change, and your new booking reference. If you do not receive this, check your spam box. If you have not received your confirmation email, send us a message via our contact form with the reference number you were trying to change.

Do I have to change my booking to be picked up or dropped off somewhere different to where I booked?
Yes. Our buses only pick-up/drop-off at the designated stops that you booked for. This is because our buses do not stop at all listed stops - only when people are booked on. If you do not change your booking to the actual stop you wish to be collected from (even when this stop is on the route) you may be missed completely.

How do I change the date?
Once in the change bookings system, if you would like the day either side of your original trip then simply click on the radio button for your preferred day. If you would like a new date that is not one day either side of your original trip then use the booking search form on the left to change the date to the date you would now like to travel on and click “search again”.

How do I change the “from” location so I can be picked up from somewhere else?
Once in the change bookings system go to the booking form to the left and change the location you would like to depart from. This will unload your original journey, so you will also need to select where you’re going to and what date you’d like to travel.Click “search again” and then click on the radio button of the time you’d like to travel (if there is a choice).

How do I change the “to” location so I can be dropped off somewhere else?
Once in the change bookings system go to the booking form to the left and change the location you would like to travel to. This will unload your original travel date, so you will also need to select the date you’d like to travel again. Then click “search again” and then click on the radio button of the time you’d like to travel (if there is a choice).

How do I change my return date only?
Once in the change bookings system your trips are automatically separated out for you. So you simply select the trip that is your return trip and change that.

How do I change details for one passenger from a booking with more than one passenger?
If you have made a booking for more than one person it is not possible to change the booking for one of these people.

We do not run services on Christmas Day. Most other services run every other day of the year.

To find out whether your service runs on a particular day, please use the booking form with the day you are interested in. The booking form is on the left of the home page.

To apply go to www.seek.co.nz.

Applications close on 1 October 2007.

That’s right, it’s about time we paid some attention to our friends way down south, so we’re pleased to announce our route from Te Anau to Invercargill, including stops at Riverton, Colac Bay, Tuatapere and Manapouri.

The service will be offered Sunday through Thursday every week. So, what are you waiting for!?!?
