Same day booking extended

26 January 2008

Now you can book same day on most services in Otago and Southland and between Queenstown, the Glaciers and Greymouth. Bookings can be made up to 15 minute before the bus departs online at nakedbus.com. Which means that whenever you book, you can be sure of getting the best deal - with nakedbus.com.

More payment options - pago & Amex

21 January 2008

pago is finally live - at last! It’s taken a while but we have finally chased down all the bugs and got it all working properly. You can use pago to pay for transactions up to $200. We are only the second merchant accepting pago and we are delighted to help spearhead this revolutionary new payment method.

But wait … there’s more.

We also now accept American Express - nakedbus.com is committing to keeping its costs as low as possible so we can offer the best fares and we are delighted that Amex has come to the party with a rate that allows us to offer the card on the site.

Hiring - Drivers with first class customer service skills

8 January 2008

Customer Service / Driver - Auckland based

Fast and furious expansion sees us requiring more coach drivers from our Mt Roskill depot to service our Wellington and Hastings scheduled coach services.

Join us at the ground step as nakedbus.com, New Zealand’s low cost bus service, expands across NZ.

You will need a class 4 drivers license and (preferably) a “P” endorsement. You will need heavy vehicle driving experience but we will train you in the rest.

Attractive roster structure means you will need to work only 4 days a week, with overtime generally available.

You will be away 2 or 3 nights a week, and will understand the need to maintain timetable operations.

The job requires a high interaction with both domestic travelers, regular travelers, backpackers and other international visitors. It is an excellent opportunity to use your great customer service skills and to move into an exciting role.

To apply, send an email to Pavlovich Coachlines

How does nakedbus.com pricing work?

1 January 2008

nakedbus.com uses a complex pricing model to offer you the best value long distance bus tickets possible.

However, the concept is simple: the earliest seats are the cheapest; as these are sold the next seats are sold.

We do not divulge how many seats are available and at what prices, as this is commercially sensitive, but you should know that:

  • At least one seat on each bus is sold at $1 (plus booking fee). This is available for any destination so you could travel from Auckland to Wellington for $1 if you book early enough. (Please note that non bus related services may not always start at $1).
  • The system will always offer you the best price currently available
  • The price offered may vary between searches as other passengers book

If there are no more $1 seats available we cannot sell you a $1 seat so please do not ask. If you saw a seat at a particular price and tried to book it later but it wasn’t there, this is because someone else has booked it – again we cannot sell you a seat at the lower price. This is why it pays to book early.
