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!)
- If you don’t have a drivers license
- If you want to see all the major hotspots on the East Coast
The Whimit pass has a hop on hop off feature AND allows you to travel in any direction that you please on any route! Cool huh?

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!

Really helpful and overall great experience. Thanks George!!
George was super helpful, getting us organised for our trip to NZ and sorting us out a great deal for our home on wheels :) Very much appreciate the support given we left it a little late... Thank you!
Great service, Sam was so helpful and made planning a holiday a breeze!
Can't thank Ben @Ratpack Travel enough for the turnaround on my campervan booking - and on short notice too! Outstanding customer centricity and quality banter with the knowledge to match Should be a go to for anyone wishing to travel this way
Ben couldn’t have been more helpful in assisting with this booking. He was responsive and patient whilst we changed details and dates. I’d highly recommend rat pack and Ben. Thanks guys!
Anna was super attentive and helpful during the planning process. She made it as easy as it possibly could be!
Just rent a car through this company. James has been really helpful and patient ! I recommend a 100 %
Had trouble booking a campervan in nz and finding a good price, James made the process extremely easy and was willing to answer any questions we had in great detail would highly recommend James to anyone struggling to find a campervan in New Zealand. He even got us a discount!
Gregg did a great job of navigating through my questions in helping us secure the right vehicle for our trip to New Zeland! I don't have time to search and get quotes from 5 different companies all with different add ons and prices. Gregg with Ratpack did all the work and even negotiated a better price then going direct. Pretty much covered the additional cost of insurance! So dont waste your time searching the net for the right rental! Get time back to plan your adventure and let Ratpack get you there!
Sammy was super helpful in helping me find exactly what I was looking for! He checked in with me every so often and was patient with me while I organised dates. Also gave some great advice relating to my travels! Thankyou:))
My booking experience with James was exception. excellence in customer service second to none!
Chris is a star! Even with the time difference, RatPack manage to keep track of our demands through whatsapp, with days apart. We also have an incredible support to find us a solution with our dates that at first didn't match van availability, and score for us a great deal on top of that. Highly recommended!
Ryan got me a really good deal and was very helpful over the phone, would 100% recommend him and ratpack

Ryan helped me book my 4 week trip to NZ, all sorted over 1 simple phone call. Very polite and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
