Get to the ski slopes first to enjoy the snow more this ski season from June - September. Australia’s east coast (as well as Tasmania) has a range of snowy mountains to explore and experience, but getting there can be tricky, especially if you’re driving into the ski fields.
To get there, we suggest to always do your research and map out the safest way to the fields. If you’ve booked with a specific ski lodge, check their website for any updates and their best routes. With Budget, we have specific vehicles and Snow Cover that allow you to travel beyond the snow line.

The last thing you want on your trip is to worry about driving in the snow and if you have the right gear for it too. Snow Cover is applicable on selected vehicles which allows you to drive where there is Snow. This does not replace your Excess Reduction cover, so be sure to add this on too.
To add Snow Cover onto your booking, make sure you have selected the appropriate vehicle group and select Snow Cover on Step 4 of the booking flow.
What is Snow Cover?
Snow Cover reduces the financial responsibility for loss or damage to the vehicle when you drive in snow or above the Snow Line.
If an incident occurs above the Snow Line, you will be covered by their chosen/applicable excess level.
Snow Cover is not available at all locations and the price of Snow Cover may vary from location to location.
Am I allowed to drive the vehicle to the snow?
You are permitted to drive approved vehicles on the snow or above the Snow Line PROVIDED:
(a) You have accepted and paid for Snow Cover at the time of collecting the vehicle;
(b) You use appropriate driving equipment (such as snow chains) suitable to the vehicle;
(c) It is otherwise reasonably safe and responsible to drive the Vehicle on snow or above the Snow Line in the circumstances and weather conditions.
What types of vehicles are allowed to the snow?
Only certain vehicles are approved for snow travel. These include AWD/4WD vehicles such as:
