Snap Goes All-Electric with Shuttle Vans

Our supplier in New Zealand, Snap, has taken a huge step toward sustainability with the transition of their entire fleet of shuttle vans to fully electric vans. Now when renters land at Auckland Airport, Christchurch Airport, or Queenstown Airport, they'll be greeted by an on-demand electric van to take them to Snap's rental office. This transition is estimated to save 34 metric tons of carbon per year from being released.

Snap's commitment to a greener, cleaner environment began back in 2017 when the company became the first major car rental company in New Zealand to offer electric vehicles for rent (and the first to offer Teslas). The company's transition to fully electric shuttle vans is just another step in its quest to operate sustainably by reducing its (and its customers') carbon footprint.

Snap's airport shuttles are free for customers and are on-demand — there's no waiting 30 minutes at a bus stop until the next shuttle arrives. So next time you're planning to explore the stunning nature of New Zealand, consider booking with Snap and helping keep that nature pristine for the future!
