7 Reasons To Whimit When it comes to choosing the best way to travel Australia, you can forget the seven deadly sins … check out the seven deadly *wins* you'll have with a Whimit Pass. (We make no guarantee that you won't actually fall victim to one of the seven deadly sins while you're here, though. We've got some serious foodie game… and have you SEEN the Hemsworth brothers?!) 1. VALUE FOR MONEY Right off the bat, we're gonna put our money where our mouth is and admit that price matters. A lot. Especially when you've already spent a bunch of your hard-earned cash on plane tickets just to get here. Whimit is great value for money. In fact, our most popular pass gets you 30 days of unlimited travel for only $399. Yep, you read that right. Compare that to hiring a van and you'd be looking at wayyy more – and that's not even factoring in the cost of petrol or insurance excesses! In fact, our calculations show that you'll save about $1000 travelling with Greyhound rather than a van. That's a lot of goon (aka boxed wine). Starting at $4/L for this Aussie staple, that's 250 LITRES you could buy instead. (Or a lot of coffee, whatever floats your boat.) Just sayin'. Plus, there's always the added bonus of not having to drive hungover. Win win! 2. YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE Here's your chance to one-up your mates. You can see more, do more, and have an off-the-beaten-track experience that rivals that of the Philippines, Bali, South America, or whatever. Greyhound has the largest terrestrial transport network in Australia, and with a Whimit Pass you can visit bucket-list cities like Sydney PLUS some hidden gems you can claim as your own (and make your friends say ‘Hey, where is that?!’ when they see your photos) – all with the one ticket! For example: As much as we love Byron Bay, the problem is that everyone else loves Byron too. When the crowds and the line-up in the surf gets too much, use your Whimit Pass to get to nearby Ballina and enjoy the same ocean views and Instagram-worthy backdrops... you’ll just have them all to yourself. If you’re headed to the outback, break up your trip and get some much deserved relaxation by taking a dip in thermal hot springs like those at Mataranka (pictured above), Bitter Springs or Katherine Springs. These stops are on our network and are perfect for a night or two. Industrial Newcastle has been given a hipster makeover recently, with cool bars, cafes and accommodation galore. It’s not too far from Sydney, and you can get there with Whimit. 3. ALL ABOUT THAT FLEXIBLE LIFE If you happen to get too carried away drinking said goon, a Whimit Pass allows you to cancel and rebook your travel up to 15 minutes prior to departure (with no penalty!). Plus, with multiple daily departures you won't necessarily have to wait a full day until the next Greyhound leaves town. This flexibility is also good for sleep-ins and general forgetfulness. Never mind the awkward possibility of splitting up with your partner and having to go your separate ways… can you imagine if you broke up in the middle of a van trip?! With a Whimit, you can turn around and go in the complete opposite direction at the drop of a hat. Thank u, next. 4. CATERS FOR ALL TYPES OF TRAVELLERS Are you Little Miss Neurotic or more of a Mr Free Spirit? Whimit suits both! In fact, the very name "Whimit" comes from the idea of being able to travel on a whim – perfect for those who like to take each day as it comes. But we know there are still people who like to plan out EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. DOWN. TO. THE. MINUTE. Don't worry: you've got the ability to plan your 30-day Sydney > Cairns holiday before you even set foot on Australian shores. (But no Excel spreadsheet included in purchase.) 5. SAFETY We’re not looking to inspire the next Wolf Creek. With over a hundred years experience getting people where they want to go, we've got a safety record second to none. Plus, our online Coach Tracker allows you to see where your Greyhound is in real-time (pictured). That'll keep mum and dad happy. 6. ECO-FRIENDLY Coach travel is super good for the environment - like, up to ten times better than cars, planes or trains. If you want your trip to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible, you can't beat a Greyhound. (Unless maybe you ride a bicycle. In which case... we support Tour de Cure!) 7. SWEET RIDE And finally, speaking of Greyhounds… sure you'd say no to a luxury chauffeured ride?! With a Whimit Pass, you'll get seat selection, USB power points, free WiFi, reclining leather seats, air conditioning, onboard toilets, meal breaks, and friendly coach captains ready to give you an authentic Aussie experience… basically, all the things your traveller heart desires. Plus, with our online booking management, you don’t have to worry about finding a travel centre or frantically Googling your transport options at the last minute. Just log in to manage your booking on your phone, book your seat, and show up at the coach stop. Voila! So why wait? Buy your Whimit Pass today (oh, and here's a bonus reason – you get up to 24 months to actually begin travelling!).
