Does anyone know if any of the major

Does anyone know if any of the major car hire firms allow you to book cars with winter tyres in north central Italy? I would be hiring the car from Bologna or Pisa airport. I know snow chains are an option (and in fact are now included automatically in most winter reservations), but coming from the UK I wouldn't have a clue how to fit them if I needed to use them. Thanks

Hi Sun,I remember my friend came over and I told him to get the winter tyres (with Hertz) as he has going to meet us in the Italain Alps where it is compulsory by law to have winter tyre or chains, - In the end he opted to go fo the chains stating that the winter tyres were a very expensive option - in the end he did not have to use the chains as there was no snow in the period he was over. Bye Conor  

"... snow chains are an option.." Just be aware that in many areas of Italy, the Carabinieri will fine you for not having snow chains in the vehicle - even if it is a fine, sunny day -  between set dates , usually November to March.I know snow chains are an optionI know snow chains are an optionI know snow chains are an option
