Everything You Need to Know about the Greyhound Whimit Passes
The Whimit is Greyhound’s (coach travel in Aussie) hottest travel pass. It basically allows unlimited travel for as long as your pass is valid for, up and down the coast. There is a pass to suit any time frame, so it suits all trips.
This travel method is perfect for:
- Solo travellers
- Groups of friends that don’t want to drive (ideal if you plan on being hungover ha!)

What is the Whimit Pass?
It all sounds great right? But how do you know if this is the best pass for you? Well, we’re gonna tell ya!
Greyhound used to only offer hop on hop off passes from destination to destination. You picked a route and stayed on that route.
The Whimit pass now offers travel in any direction on any route with a larger max of travel days.
This makes it suitable for any time frame of travel.
Is this the pass for me?
The Whimit Pass comes with a lot more freedom!
Travelling for up to a month
It is the ideal option if you’re travelling for a shorter period of time as you can cover more ground.
You can pop all over the place without being tied down to a certain route. So more time adventuring and less time planning.
Travelling for a long period of time
This pass is also pretty handy if you’re going to be in Aussie for a long ol’ time (up to a year).
You can even grab yourself a 365 day travel pass! This was not possible before. So a pretty epic addition.

How does it work?
For each of the travel passes, you get more value for money the longer the pass is valid for. For example, a 15 day Whimit adds up to around $22 a day whereas, the 30-day pass is only around $14 a day.
From 15 and 30 day passes to 120 and 365 day passes, the Whimit makes it wayyyy easier to see all that Aussie has to offer and save your dosh!
You can book the buses online using your unique log in which you recieve when you purchase your pass. Its SUPER easy to book and change your buses, turn up around 15 minutes before the departure time to board and make sure you have your pass barcode/voucher ready to show to the driver. Sometime you will need to show ID too, drivers license works!

Mike helped us get sorted with an ideal route and van for our east coast trip!! Got us a super discount and was really helpful with any questions we had - a pleasure to deal with!!!
Amazing service by the team at Ratpack. They helped us to book our camper and tours for the east coast, making a really simply a straightforward process, saving me hours of research and deliberation. I trust them implicitly. Never sales-y, or pushy, always glad to answer queries. Took a real interest in us and our trip. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
Tyla was amazing! Found exactly what I needed and even when it wasn’t available, called to check other options. In the end I got a trip suited for my needs & all my questions answered. Will definitely suggest friends to talk to you guys next time they’re in Australia!
Amazing service, friendly, helpful and supportive people. Highly recommend
Mike with the doggo deserves a beer for all his help! Thanks so much
Such an excellent service from Jenna. I was taken through all the possible options for my budget - no matter how many times I changed my mind. Jenna made the process very easy and I booked the same day as I enquired. Would highly recommend!
Mike made the process easy with options we had not thought of. Would recommend 5 stars.
Can’t thank RatPack Travel enough for helping me find a campervan for my trip to Australia! Jules was amazing and super helpful!
Made renting a campervan so much easier!! Jenna was amazing and helped us through multiple different options and dates until we found the right one for us, would definitely recommend!
Really great help sorting a camper car for us. Everything booked within 24 hours of making the enquiry. We had actual conversations over the phone too which really helped us relax and decide what to do. Would definitely recommend
I booked my campervan to travel in NZ via RatPack Travel, who managed to find me the perfect van at relatively short notice and with a discount! It was a real help to have someone do the searching and mediate with the company, once they had dates and information from me. Thanks for the prompt and friendly service!
