There is a requirement in certain parts of Italy from November to April to have snow chains in the vehicle or to have winter tyres installed on the vehicle. This requirement applies regardless of the current weather conditions. Before you pick up your car, please check if your travel route is subject to this regulation.
Visit the websites of POLIZIA DI STATO or AUTOSTRADE for more information. Standard snow chains or textile snow chains will be provided without any additional cost at all locations from 15th November to 15th April.
Throughout the year, excluding the period from 15th November to 15th April, snow chains/textile snow chains will be available on request with an additional cost of 4 EUR per day; Airport and or Railway fees where applicable and VAT included up to a maximum of 32 EUR per hire. A 100 EUR fee will be charged for lost or damaged snow chains year round.
Vehicles equipped with winter tyres may be available at the time of hire for an additional fee. Please ask staff when you show up to pick up the hire vehicle.
Winter tyres are NOT included and can be required exclusively at the pick-up time within the depot. If available, customers will be required to pay the related fee locally, ranging from €10 + tax per day, up to a max. charge of €22.20 + taxes per day, depending on the hired car category.
