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.

If you have lost property, use the contact form to tell us what you have lost. Please provide as much detail as possible because at any one time we will have several mobile phones and sunglasses etc.

We will let you know if we find the item.

There will be a charge to return the item to you. This will cover postage and packaging.

Some phones are barred from calling 0900 numbers (you may be able to make toll calls but not calls to 0900 numbers). In this case it sounds like the number is disconnected or not working.

What to do: Call your phone service provider (Telecom, Vodafone etc) and ask them to remove the 0900 bar.

Please note that you can only call the 0900 number from New Zealand

No. nakedbus.com already offers� everyone the lowest city to city bus fares in the country so we are not able to discount these any further.

Groups are more than welcome if you can get the number of seats you need on the trips/dates you need, but you will need to book this in the normal way online. Just set ‘Passengers’ to the number you need and have a fun trip together!

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.

To see where we go, click here. Generally our bus services run every day, with more than one trip a day to popular destinations.

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

if you ordered a txt message when you booked you should receive your txt message within a few seconds. Sometimes this does not happen.

The reasons for this are as follows:

- you may have entered the wrong mobile number when you booked
- there may have been a problem on the mobile network outside our control (e.g. Vodafone / Telecom).

Unfortunately we cannot resend the text message or refund your text message fee in these cases.

The trip is either not available for that particular day, or we are revising some journeys and will put them up on the site soon. If the trip does not appear in the search results it is not available for booking at this time.
