Travel simplified for your Snow Machine Queenstown experience. Arrive in comfort, exactly on time.
Snow Machine Queenstown features mountain stages at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, in addition to the Main Arena in Frankton. Each has a different schedule and location throughout the festival, so navigating around may add to the challenge of planning your trip.
From QT Chauffeurs & Rentals, customise the ideal private transport to suit your lodging, festival plans, travelling group, and planned times. QT Chauffeurs & Rentals provides private transport services in Queenstown, including mountain transport, transport from Queenstown Airport, a vehicle and chauffeur to the Main Arena, as well as a customised route around several locations during your stay in Queenstown — your private journey throughout Snow Machine is our priority.
Your festival. Your schedule. Your private transfer.
Snow Machine travels to locations around Queenstown, which means reliable private transport will go a long way in helping simplify the planning of your Snow Machine journey. Arrange to travel when, where, and with whomever is best suited to your plans, rather than working around shared shuttle times or fixed transportation.
QT Chauffeurs & Rentals will pick you up for private transfer between:
Couples and/or groups can travel from anywhere in Queenstown and surrounding locations, subject to vehicle availability and other travel conditions, to and from events during Snow Machine. If you intend to travel around Queenstown with your private chauffeur for several hours throughout the day, please ask for details concerning hourly and daily booking.
Coronet Peak and The Remarkables are the two prominent mountain venues for this festival. Bypass stressful public transport options and reach the mountain using one of QT Chauffeurs & Rentals' private mountain transfers, with a local chauffeur familiar with Queenstown, including mountain access roads.
Use your private vehicle from QT Chauffeurs & Rentals to transport your skis and/or snowboards, luggage, and other belongings without hassle, and get straight from your lodging up to the mountain venues — from numerous locations, including any private home within the general vicinity, from Queenstown through Arrowtown. These services are subject to availability and current weather and road conditions.
Available transport from surrounding areas, such as outlying Queenstown villages and districts, is sometimes negotiable and based on availability with Queenstown, local area residents and tourists travelling to and from their lodgings.

Alpine road conditions vary considerably during winter in New Zealand, especially along the mountain access roads to Coronet Peak and The Remarkables.

Travelling to Queenstown for Snow Machine? Pre-book your airport transfer and ensure that your transportation is fully set up before your arrival.
Following a day on the mountain, the festival continues at the Main Arena in Frankton, just near Queenstown Airport. If you're staying at accommodation in Queenstown, Arrowtown, Kelvin Heights or one of the surrounding towns, organising your own private transport will ensure that you maintain complete control over how the evening unfolds.
QT Chauffeurs & Rentals will be able to organise personal transfers to and from the Main Arena based on your requested itinerary and available vehicles. It doesn't matter whether you're travelling as an individual, a couple or a group of friends — simply let us know where you're staying and what times you'll need to travel, and we'll handle the rest.
Planning your evenings out with friends at Snow Machine? Inquire about personal Main Arena transfers.
One of the biggest benefits associated with arranging the services of private chauffeur transport is that your itinerary no longer needs to be constructed around a single journey. You might find yourself spending your afternoon up at Coronet Peak, heading back to the accommodation later in the day, before making your way over to the Main Arena in Frankton later that evening. Alternatively, perhaps you are heading to Queenstown for some sightseeing, and would want to weave Snow Machine around your own wider South Island agenda.
QT Chauffeurs & Rentals can work around any schedule, and offers both hourly and day hire plans which enable our clients to combine Snow Machine with any number of other planned activities.
Speak to our team about your specific requirements, and we'll offer you the most appropriate option.

Our chauffeurs are extremely professional, ensuring that your ride is both discreet, comfortable and efficient, from the moment you are picked up to the minute you arrive at your destination.
If travelling in a group, just let us know how many travellers and what special arrangements you require with your transfer.
