Opinion

A car rental company is insisting that the parents of two men killed in an ice collapse at Fox Glacier pay for transporting the rental car - even though the keys were buried with their dead son under tonnes of ice.

Rental car company NZRCS company director Edwin Chan says it had to recoup about $800 for the car to be transported 418km from Fox Glacier to Christchurch, and hundreds of dollars for a new transponder key to electronically unlock the car.
