Drive through the South Island in Winter and one spectacular snowy mountain vista after another greets you around every corner! But to truly appreciate the scenery and experience the very best of Queenstown and Christchurch, you have to get up the mountain...
In New Zealand we are extremely fortunate to have one of the longest ski seasons in Australasia. Our ski resorts offer a variety of terrain with world-class facilities and something for everyone, from the most avid seasoned professional to the absolute beginner. In Queenstown and Wanaka you will discover excellent accommodation options, backed by a wealth of exciting activities and invigorating experiences off the slopes as well.
At Omega we offer a full range of vehicles including Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4 SUV's, Subaru Legacy 4WD Wagons, Elite Hatchbacks, Sedans and Family Wagons as well as smaller Budget run arounds, to suit everyone's car rental requirements and budget. Select ski racks and chains when you book to completely ski-ready your chosen vehicle!

SNOW CHAINS
Snow chains may be required if you are heading to the mountain in the winter ski season. Chains are supplied in pairs and can be fitted to your vehicle's tyres to provide maximum traction when driving through snow and ice. Please book in advance as the chains are specific to the size of the tyres on the particular vehicle you have booked.
Cost: $25 for the full duration of your hire
Fitting your Snow Chains: The videos below show you how to fit snow chains to your vehicle. At Omega we use 2 types of chains and while you won't know which type you'll receive until you come to collect your car, taking a look at the videos below will give you a head start and they both include important tips it helps to know in advance!
