Terms & Conditions
Fare Conditions Interislander offers a range of fares at different times of the day to suit your travel needs. We have three fare types available: Ultra Saver These are the cheapest way to get across Cook Strait! They are a great deal but once booked, they are non-refundable. Ultra Saver fares are available every day of the year but numbers are limited - so if you want great deal, make sure you book early! Saver Change These are our mid range fares and are available in greater numbers. Saver Change fares incur a 50% fee if cancelled. Easy Change These are our most flexible fares and allow you cancel right up to time of check-in without any cancellation fees. So if you need to be flexible, these are the fares for you. All fare types allow you to change sailings subject to availability provided you advise us prior to check-in of your original sailing. Where the same priced fare is not available, an upgrade payment will be required. If you upgrade to a new fare type then you will retain the cancellation conditions of your original fare type. Luggage Allowance Passengers may check-in two items of luggage, up to a size of 200 linear cm (height plus length plus width) and weighing up to 30kg each. Excess luggage under 30kg will be charged at $5 per item. Luggage items between 30 and 50kg will be charged an excess luggage fee of $35.
