Watch the snow chains video to see how easy it is to fit snow chains on your Ezi vehicle.

To ensure you have a safe and enjoyable winter holiday, we want to let you know about a bylaw in the Queenstown Lakes District and Milford Sound regions. It states that:

“At the direction of an enforcement officer or authorised officer, the driver of any vehicle may be required to fit snow chains to such vehicle on any road, and no person shall drive, or direct or allow such vehicle to be driven without such snow chains fitted.”

As a result of multiple vehicles being caught without snow chains in heavy snowfall, there are now fines for non-compliance of this bylaw, this is a $150 fine for the Queenstown Lakes District and a $750 fine for Milford Sound.

Snow chains are available at our Christchurch Airport, Queenstown Airport, and Dunedin Airport branches and can be added to your booking for just $15.00 per day. Chains must be booked for the entire duration of your rental, not just selected days. The total cost is capped at $105.00, so even if your rental exceeds 7 days, you won’t pay more than this maximum amount.

Ski racks are available to add to your booking at our Christchurch Airport and Queenstown Airport branches, and are offered on select vehicle classes (subject to availability). The cost is $15.00 per day, and racks must be booked for the full duration of your rental. The total charge is capped at $105.00, so if your rental exceeds 7 days, you’ll still only pay the maximum amount.

Please note: Snow chains and ski racks are subject to availability and may not be provided unless booked in advance prior to vehicle pick-up.
