Our vehicles are equipped with all-weather tyres with the snowflake symbol in winter, which are suitable for most conditions.
In the summer months, we have a small number of vehicles on summer tyres. If you are planning a trip to a very cold region between the end of March and the end of October, contact us early so that we can schedule your trip on a vehicle with all-season tyres.
Snow chains
Snow chains are recommended when roads are covered with snow or ice, especially in steep or winding areas such as mountain passes. In some countries or regions (e.g. Alpine roads), they may even be mandatory when indicated by designated signs.
However, you should avoid using snow chains when the roads are cleared and dry, as they can damage the tyres and the road itself, and have a negative impact on vehicle control.
We rent out snow chains for the Road House, Couple Cottage, Camper Castle, Liberty Lodge and Couple Condo models at selected locations:
- Germany: Munich, Aachen (just 1 pair)
- Sweden: Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg
- Norway: Oslo, Bergen
- Austria: Innsbruck, Salzburg
- Spain: Barcelona, Bilbao
- France: Geneva-Pays de Gex, Lyon, Toulouse, Marseille
- Italy: Milan, Turin, Venice
- US: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco
If snow chains are available, you can book them as an extra in your initial booking. You can also add them later via your customer account.
Please note that there is an increased risk of damage to the wheels when using snow chains. We therefore recommend the Complete Carefree Package, which offers protection against tyre damage. With Advanced or Basic, you would have to pay for such damage up to the excess amount. This applies regardless of whether the snow chains are your own or rented.
Would you like to rent snow chains elsewhere?
If you would like to purchase or rent snow chains elsewhere, please note that the tyre sizes may vary within the categories. Please contact us a few days before pick-up if you need this information. Snow chains can be rented from many car dealers and from the ADAC or another automobile club.
