Common Shrek..

surely overseas tourists on a world tour can easily pay the regular ferry fare.....

I mean ,all us poor Kiwi's have to....

and average incomes in germany are a fair bit higher.

Now if it would be for yourself that you were asking, then that would be a different story..

Hi Shrek,

thanks for asking for us! It´s highly welcome as is any idea, to get a discount for the ferry!

Hi salty dog,

I wouldn´t call myself a tourist, though in some kind we are.
And definitly we are no rich tourist or people with a high income. Indeed, we don´t have any permanent income at all.
We are motorcycle vagabonds for two years now (atw-trip) and we live on a low budget: bush camping whereever possible (which is not as often in NZ as we would wish), no hotels, no restaurants, etc.

Thereby we would be happy, if somebody would support our journey by giving a recommendation about a way to get a discount for the ferry.

Not if you have a promo code!

Thanks for you help.

Just ride across on the sandbar at low tide, its free.

If you're a member of various organisations, AA, BMWOR, Top 10 Holiday Parks etc, then you can get an automatic 10% standard off, I think.

Otherwise, you'll need to hunt for booking codes, normally Interislander only, often for specific vehicles. There used to be generic codes, they are all time dependent now.

Other option is to take an unusual booking time, it will be a bit cheaper.
