You can ask not to have these but we recommend that you take either snow chains or all-weather tyres at these locations.
Snow chains are also available and cost EUR 45.00 per rental.
If one of the snow chains is damaged, lost or stolen, you are responsible for the cost of the replacement, unless you were not culpable for the damage, loss or theft and/or it was not due to your fault or to that of your passengers or additional drivers. This is likely to cost between EUR 50.00 and EUR 200.00 on top of the hire fee.*

Ski racks
Some rental locations offer ski racks. You can expect to pay EUR 45.00 per rental. Ski racks cannot be fitted to all our vehicles, so you may need to upgrade if you need one. This may increase the price of the vehicle and any excess you may have to pay.
If the ski rack is damaged, lost or stolen, you are responsible for the cost of the replacement and you can expect this to cost between EUR 250.00 and EUR 500.00 on top of the hire fee. *
Please give us at least 24 hours' notice if you want to hire a ski rack. If you need it at shorter notice, please call the Reservations team

* If you can show the damage or loss was not in any way your fault or due to negligence, we will refund the cost to you.
