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.
Friendly, courteous, polite & efficient
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!
