🚫 Please Note: We Do Not Accept Bookings for Chains Only

We prioritise snow chain supply for customers hiring skis or snowboards with us. Thanks for understanding!

Snow Chains Now Available – Important Info Before Booking

We now offer snow chains to customers hiring skis or snowboards with us! However, for your safety and to ensure the correct fit, chains must still be matched to your vehicle in person.

Here’s what you need to know:

Vehicle Compatibility Required
Not all vehicles can safely use snow chains. Some newer cars—especially those with low clearance, wide tyres, or certain drivetrains—may not have enough space around the wheels or may be unsuitable for chains altogether.

In-Person Check at Pickup
To help keep you and your vehicle safe, we may check things like tyre size, clearance, and your vehicle’s manual when you collect your gear. If we believe snow chains are unsuitable or unsafe for your vehicle, we may choose not to supply them.
👉 In that case, we’ll adjust your hire accordingly and refund the cost of the chains (minus a 5% booking fee).

Legal Requirement in Victoria
Chains are legally required to be carried on Victorian alpine roads during snow season, even if you have a 4WD. If your vehicle cannot take chains, we strongly advise against driving to the snow.

📌 Tip: Check your vehicle’s handbook or ask your manufacturer if snow chains are allowed before you travel.
