Great Barrier Island Ferry Timetables & Fares

**It is no secret that our fare types can be quite hard to navigate, not only for our customers but for our frontline staff. We have made some changes to make at as easy as possible for you to understand.
The key changes are in the names of our fare types, the table below outlines those showing the current fare type and the new fare type. The key changes for you will be the different fare types on your monthly invoices.
 

Current	New Fare Types
Car + Driver - up to 5.5m	Standard Vehicle + Driver
5 - 5.9M Light Truck and Driver	Large Vehicle + Driver
Light Truck and Driver 6LM	Oversize Vehicle + Driver
Heavy Truck and Driver 7LM	Supersize Vehicle + Driver

Standard Vehicle - A standard vehicle fare applies to any vehicle with a length of less than 5.5 metres and less than 2 tonnes in weight. This fare category includes most standard cars, utes, vans, and small trucks that fall within this size range.
Large vehicle - A large vehicle exceeds 5.5 metres in length but no longer 5.99 metres and is less than 7 tonnes in weight, including larger utes, vans and light trucks. This fare category is designed for larger vehicles that don't fit within the standard size limits, reflecting the additional space and resources required for their transport. In some instances, when a vehicle is less than 5.5m but weighs over 2 tonnes it becomes a large vehicle due to weight.
Oversize vehicle - A oversize vehicle exceeds 6 metres but is no longer than 7 metres in length and less than 7 tonnes in weight, including some light trucks and large vans. This fare category is intended for vehicles that significantly exceed typical size limits, requiring additional space and handling for transportation.
Supersize vehicle - A supersize vehicle refers to vehicles that are larger or heavier than large or oversized vehicles, including heavy trucks, buses, and other large commercial vehicles. These vehicles typically exceed 7 metres in length and 7 tonnes in weight. Please note: if a vehicle is more than 7 tonnes, but shorter than 7 metres, it is considered a supersize vehicle. This includes concrete trucks.

These changes will go live Midday March 31^st.
