Bond / Deposit

A bond is required to confirm your booking. A booking is not considered confirmed until the required booking forms is completed and a bond/deposit of $250 has been paid. This will be returned to you within 24 hours after the hire period. This will give us enough time to ensure there has been no damaged caused to our bus

Payment

Full payment must be paid 7 days prior to date of booking.

Cancellations

Should you cancel your booking within 14 days of the hire you will lose your bond/deposit. It means we are losing income, as we would have turned other bookings away for your secured booking. We also do our rosters 2 weeks in advance so we would have already booked your driver.

Extra Time

Should you wish to go over your allocated time, this will be at the discretion of our Driver (due to NZTA Logbook Requirements) Extra time is charged at $300 per hour. All extra charges must be paid for prior to extension.

Departure Times

The pickup time booked is the planned arrival/start time of the vehicle booked. We give our drivers sufficient time to arrive at their destination on time and ready to depart, however, if there are circumstances beyond our control, we cannot be held liable for these delays

However if the bus is late...

In the unlikely event that the bus arrives late for your pickup due to delays, which are often out of our control, we make up the time at the end of the hire.

Break Downs!

Our buses are maintained regularly, and have a WOF done every 6 months. However, break downs can happen. If this happens, we will try our hardest to get another bus or other means of transport organised for you. If we are unable to get something sorted ASAP, we will refund the cost of the hire.
