Frequently Asked Questions
Is accommodation included?
Is accommodation included?
No all your accommodation costs are additional to your bus pass.
But once you’re on the bus, you have guaranteed accommodation for the first nights stay in each new location along your bus pass itinerary. In some locations the bus stays two or three nights, your accommodation will be guaranteed on these nights too. If, you choose to hop-off the bus and stay longer in a location, your driver can book your extra nights for you. You don’t need to book in advance, your driver guide will take care of this for you each day on the bus so you can travel as flexibly as you like.

What is flexible travel?
What is flexible travel?
Also known as hop-on hop-off, flexible travel means there is no set-in-stone itinerary. If you want to hop off for a few days in a certain destination, simply hop off, then hop back on when you want! Basically, it allows you to personalise your trip to suit you and spend as much time as you want in each destination.

12 months to begin, 12 months to travel!
Once you’ve purchased your Kiwi Experience bus pass you have 12 months to begin your travel, and then once you start you have 12 months to complete it.
You will notice that each pass has a minimum travel time. This is the fastest possible time you can complete the pass. We highly recommend you spend longer than this, at least adding on a week or two to the 'minimum' time stated on your pass.
