How does nakedbus.com pricing work?
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008nakedbus.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.
