Contracting
Much of this web site is focused on the casual user, people who only hire from time to time. However our core business is permanent contracts.
While Tour Coach Charter is what many associate with Pavlovich, the reality is that we are a bus contractor. We love contracts, and so does our accountant. Our expertise is to partner with you, to provide long term transport solutions. We do this with a range of clients already, and we are always looking for more. Not only that, but our track records indicates you will get a cost effective solution from us, every time.
We are a transport solutions provider. Between the client and ourselves, we determine the ideal bus or coach application for your task or contract. We then purchase, manage and maintain the assets that our clients need, along with supplying drivers and the ancillary support needed to keep your services operating seamlessly. If you don’t want to own buses and employ drivers, but have a passenger transport task, you need to talk to us.
If you have a large or long term bus or coach contract, you need to talk to the CEO now. Contact him at bernard@pavlovich.co.nz for his immediate and focused attention.

Customer Comments
Just wanted to drop a note to you to say thank you so much for the fantastic service provided by Pavlovich to Oakleys Plumbing this weekend. Malcolm Hegh was absolutely brilliant so please pass on our personal thanks to him.
Mel. Oakleys Plumbing. November 2011I wanted to take a chance to write and pass on our praise for Riki. He certainly is 'one out of the bag'. Our farmers from Australia were singing his praises! On our final night we invited Riki to accompany us for an evening meal, the evening turned into an invaluable lesson of the Haka for the males in our tour party. They soaked up the culture and really got into the spirit of things. Riki is more than a coach driver, he is a true asset to have on tour, his knowledge and love of our country is immense, and his great personality had us all in stitches of laughter regularly!

It was really great to work with the 3 of them. They were friendly, organised, helpful and had a really positive relationship with the students. They made a real difference to our trip, and stood head and shoulders above drivers that we've used for trips in the past. Well done it's awesome to get this kind of stuff.
