Hiring a car in New Zealand is fairly straight-forward and the cost of rental compared to other countries is relatively inexpensive.
If you are going to be self-driving to the snow, you will require snow chains for the vehicle which can be arranged through the rental company.
If you are driving to any other ski areas aside from Coronet Peak, we would strongly recommend an AWD or 4WD as the roads can be very icy, muddy and slippery.
