No exact laws or requirements exist for driving during the winter months in Switzerland. Areas known for wintery conditions will have appropriate road signs indicating which equipment is compulsory. Generally most Swiss car suppliers will offer vehicles with winter tyres at no extra charge.

Italy

There is no overall rule in Italy for winter equipment. However, in some areas, snow chains and winter tyres are required during the period from 15th November till 15th April. Keep an eye out for the appropriate road signs that indicate when the equipment is required. In Aosta Valley you are required to have snow chains and winter tyres from 15th October till 15th April. If in doubt, we advise taking up the opportunity to book your rental, using our special winter rates. This will ensure that your car rental in Italy will be fitted with snow chains.
