Keeping Little Passengers Safe – Its’ how we roll!

At Snow Express, your safety is our top priority – and that includes the smallest members of your whānau.

We know how important it is for parents and caregivers to feel confident when travelling with children, so we’re building up our stock of high-quality child booster seats and infant capsules for you to use whenever you ride with us.

All our child safety seats are thoroughly sanitised after each use, ensuring your little ones travel in a clean, hygienic environment.

No more trying to wrestle your child seat out of the car and juggle the kids – simply hire one of our seats for only $20.00. That way, all you need to do is pop your child in and go.

When you book your ride, just choose which seat will suit your little one best – easy as!

** Seats will be available soon.**

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  “Highly recommend using the snow express to be taken up to the majestic snow fields of North Canterbury, New Zealand. I thoroughly enjoyed being chauffeured by Cara, who was very sociable, welcoming and fun. Even enjoyed having a ski with her on the mountain! I had upmost faith in her driving skills to get us up and down Mt Lyford (somewhat scary at times) access road, which she negotiated expertly! Thank you for the opportunity to ski the enjoyable family run Mt Lyford ski field, I had a thoroughly wonderful day for my birthday. I even enjoyed a relaxing snooze on the way back lol. Will definitely call upon her great service when I am wanting to go back up to the snow fields again, as it sure is more relaxing and enjoyable than driving myself from Oxford. :)))))).” - Mandy Wheen
