✝ The $10 purchase price is non-refundable. For a complete list of stores please see www.AT.govt.nz/retailers. Prepay blue AT HOP cards are $20 which includes $10 HOP money and are available at selected New World, PAK'n SAVE and Four Square stores. Please note these stores are not able to sell gold AT HOP cards or any other top up or HOP product.
You can load a Child concession on to your child's AT HOP card. When you register your AT HOP card, select your child’s date of birth, and if under 16 years, a child concession will be applied automatically. A Student ID is not required for proof of age for primary and intermediate school children
Full-time secondary students, including those under 16 (until 20th birthday) can apply for a secondary student concession on their AT HOP card, provided they are able to show a current Auckland Transport approved secondary school student ID.
Note: New AT HOP cards are pre-loaded with an adult profile and adult fares will be charged until a concession is applied.
While you’re setting up your child for the start of the first term, now’s a great time to set-up an Auto Top-Up on their AT HOP card. That way they’ll never get stranded without credit on their card.
Auto Top-Up helps to ensure you always have enough funds in your AT HOP account to pay your fare. When your balance drops below a certain amount your account is topped up automatically.
Simply log into your AT HOP account and set up Auto Top-Up using your bank account, credit card or debit card. There is no fee to set up Auto Top-Up online.
The first time you set up Auto Top-Up it may take up to 72 hours to be applied to your card. After the first time the funds will be available on your AT HOP card instantly.
Children under 5 travel free with a fare paying passenger and do not require a ticket or AT HOP card for travel.
