How will you publicise our agency?

Why should I charge a booking fee?

15 August 2007

As a nakedbus.com agent we would like to offer you commission on each sale, but because nakedbus.com operates as a low cost operator (we have fares starting at $1.00) we want to see you rewarded for all the bookings you make with us. For this reason, we encourage you to charge your customers a small booking fee as well as the commission we pay you. This means with commission and booking fees combined you can earn 19% on any one sale! However, you can choose not to charge a booking fee if you wish (but our usual 70c booking fee would apply).

What will I earn?

15 August 2007

You can earn commission which is negotiable depending on the volumes of sales you expect to do with us. We also encourage you to charge a booking fee to compensate you for our lowest fares.

Customer Comments

Wow... these are somewhat amazing prices!

Wow, I just made a booking for next weekend from Auckland to Napier, and usually if I booked so late on the [competitor] service it would cost me $66, but I got my ticket from here for $23!! I also booked ahead for November and it cost me only $1!! I’m a Uni student so these are somewhat amazing prices, and I can afford to travel home! Cant wait to use this service, thanks for the low prices!
