  • Go QTown recommends 4WD or AWD for winter mountain routes. Your Toyota option is the RAV4 AWD.
  • AWD doesn’t mean chains are never needed. They’re available for eligible vehicles and must be used when road authorities ask.
  • Selected vehicles offer a pre-fitted ski rack add-on at booking.
  • AWD vehicles can be scarce in school holidays and long weekends.
  • No vehicle guarantees ski field access, because conditions change fast.
