Flexipass Pass
Do I need to make travel
reservations if I am using a Flexipass?
Yes. Travel reservations
are necessary, as your name and travel details are on the bus driver's
passenger list, so they know where to pick you up and where you are
travelling to.
Travel reservations can be made by a calling a national tollfree
number in New Zealand or
made online
form any PC, laptop, IPad or computer tablet.

you want for longer. Activation occurs once travel has been

I'm travelling with a

No, each traveller must have
their own pass. For example you cannot buy a single 30 hour

If you do this you and your friend(s) must travel together on
the same dates and same services. However if you intend to
travel on different dates or services you must purchase the
passes in separate booking transactions. If you purchase two or
more passes in the same booking but later decide to travel
separately, please contact us directly to split your pass. A
NZ$50 administration fee applies for splitting passes.
