How can I book winter & snow tires?
In the US
In the US, all SIXT rent a car vehicles are equipped with all-season tires so that you are safe during the winter months. If you're heading to a ski resort or an area that will likely have snowy weather, we recommend that you choose a vehicle with 4WD. Our helpful in-branch staff can also advise on what would be the best choice for your trip.
In Europe
Unlike other extras, snow tires come as standard* in countries where they are required either by law or due to the winter driving conditions. When selecting your car online, you can see in the vehicle details if they are included or not. If they are not already on the car, please request them from our staff we will be sure to meet your needs.
*Subject to availability. Not available in the US.
