What do we do?nakedbus.com^® represents a new breed of transport service. Adapting the low cost airline concept, we have stripped out the costs that you don’t need, such as paper tickets, salespeople with expense accounts and large terminals. Instead, we offer comfortable, fast coaches with friendly drivers, and of course, rock bottom prices.

Whether you are traveling from Palmerston North to Wellington, Hamilton to Rotorua, Tauranga to Auckland, if you book early enough, you will only pay $1 (plus 70c booking fee). Prices go up closer to the departure date, but they will always be extremely competitive.

nakedbus.com^® is a 100% New Zealand owned company, proud to bring a new cost-effective travel option to Kiwis.

Where did the idea come from?

Kiwis are great travellers, but for many years, travelling round our own country has been difficult and expensive. Added to rising petrol prices, we thought there had to be a better way.

So we looked around the world to find that better way, and saw how low cost airlines are operating. Low cost airlines have revolutionised air travel in Europe by throwing out the frills that passengers did not really need. We thought maybe we could do the same here.

So we have been working on the concept for the last 9 months, selecting partners who could share our vision of a friendly service at a rock bottom price.
So now, here we are with nakedbus.com^® - a revolution in travel for New Zealand.

How can we offer $1 fares?

First of all, we have cut our costs. We don’t have expensive terminals, nor do we have sales people on expense accounts all over the world. We have focused on what you need - reliable comfortable transport between New Zealand’s towns and cities.

Secondly not all our fares are $1. Our $1 fares are reserved for people who book early. Fares start at $1 on every trip (and at least 10% of our seats are sold at $1), but most of our fares are slightly higher. We do think that whenever you book, you will find our fares are extremely competitive.
Finally, we believe that with our low fares we will attract a whole new market. Think about it - does it still make sense to drive across country when you can travel in comfort from $1 with nakedbus.com^®. We expect many car users to try our service - even some people who flew previously will consider our service.
So remember, our low fares, including the $1 fares, are not an opening special. they are here to stay. So why not check out how much it will cost you to get where you want to go?
