As a North Stradbroke Island Ratepayer customer, that is, a customer who owns property on North Stradbroke Island but resides on the mainland, we offer approximately 10% off all our non-premium fares as a way of thanking you for your patronage. You can nominate up to 2 (two) vehicles to be registered against each island property.
If you reside permanently on North Stradbroke Island, please go to the North Stradbroke Island Resident Registration page.
Please note the North Stradbroke Island Ratepayer discount is for the two vehicles that you have nominated to receive the discount on your customer profile. Any booking made for a vehicle against your profile that is not registered with us will incur the standard rate and any difference in fare must be paid before travel. Continued misuse of the NSI Ratepayer discount may result in online privileges being revoked or your account suspended temporarily.
How the discount works
The way we offer this Island Ratepayer discount is by applying reduced fares to the actual vehicle you travel in, rather than to yourself. You can nominate up to two cars per island property, and once approved, you will receive a discount where applicable. When you book your car/s online, you will also receive the online booking discount as well.
What vehicles does the discount apply to?
The North Stradbroke Island resident discount will apply to:
- standard cars up to 5.4m long
- large cars or four-wheel-drives up to 6.4m long
- motorbikes
- trailers that are attached to an island registered car
If you wish to travel with a commercial vehicle, a truck, or any other vehicle that is 2m or greater in width, the standard truck rate will apply to that vehicle.
How to apply
For your convenience, you can complete the entire application online.
You will also need to attach a copy of your island property Rates Notice and current Vehicle Registration Notice/Certificate, so that we can see that your nominated vehicle/s are registered to the property owner, or family member of the property owner. The vehicle registration number will be recorded against your customer profile with us, and then every time your vehicle is booked to travel the discount will apply.
You can also apply by completing the below form and emailing, posting or bringing your required documents into one of our offices at Cleveland or Dunwich.
