Chain Requirement

During the winter season, diamond pattern chains must be carried in cars on all alpine roads in Victoria. To ensure safety and compatibility, we do not take online reservations for snow chains. Here's why:


Booking chains

To ensure safety and compatibility, we do not take online reservations for snow chains. Here's why:

Vehicle Compatibility: Some cars, especially newer models, lack the necessary space for snow chains.

Safety Assurance: We need to check your car’s manual and physically fit the chains to ensure they are safe and suitable.

We understand this may be inconvenient, but safety is our top priority. If your car cannot safely use chains, we recommend avoiding mountain driving during winter. Please ensure your vehicle can use snow chains, as these are now legally required on Victorian alpine roads to prevent any inconvenience. You can find this information in most vehicle handbooks or by contacting the manufacturer.
