There are a few extras you should consider adding when you book your Queenstown hire car. A GPS can be very useful if you plan on driving into rural areas. You won't necessarily be able to rely on your mobile phone reception to get around. Snow chains are essential for anyone planning to visit mountainous areas during winter. In fact, drivers are required by law to carry snow chains when driving in the Queenstown Lake District during winter. If you're driving a standard vehicle, check with your Queenstown car hire provider whether you should fit them to the back or front wheels. When choosing between car hire companies, consider that some will charge a daily rate for extras, while others will charge a flat rate.
Queenstown is close to a number of excellent day trip destinations that are easily reached with a car. You can also use your Queenstown hire car to take a longer road trip through the stunning South Island countryside. Glenorchy is only about 45min away and is home to some stunning landscapes. You can stop at the Bennett’s Bluff lookout along the way. The Gibbstone Valley wine region is roughly 30min away with a car, and the beautiful Arrowtown is around 20min away. For an overnight trip (or a long day trip) make the roughly 3h 30min drive to Milford Sound, where you can take pictures of stunning waterfalls, take a tour by boat and spot native wildlife. If you drive there, you'll be able to take quick detours along the way to small towns like Te Anau and other natural wonders like the Mirror Lakes.
