Queenstown Car rentals in Queenstown
Posted: Mon September 4, 2006 06:29 PM UTC
Hi

I'll be in Queenstown during the last week of September, and I was wondering how the weather is gonna be there. I've a couple of questions:
1. Is there gonna be snow on the roads as I need to decide to rent a 4X4 or a 2 wheel drive?
2. What is the temperature like so that I pack accordingly?

Thanks in advance, for answering my questions.

Cheers
/Naveen

September is the transition period to spring in NZ. Hence it is not likely for you to encounter snow at all in lower regions and a 4x4 is not really necessary. Even in winter, you don't need a 4x4. Just a good car with snow tires when necessary but we are talking only about driving up the mountains.
