Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Winter tyres at VCE

Hi, does anyone have experience of car hire at Venice with guaranteed winter tyres, I’m due to be going to Canazei at the end of Jan 24 and would prefer to have the assurance of winter tyres rather than battling with chains.

I’ve never managed to get an Italian hire car with snow tyres, even when specifically pre-booked. This was from Turin.

Just got a shrug, sorry it’s not here/available/ crashed, only got one with summer tyres. Fortunately for away with it, but had one sketchy trip back from La Thuile.

@geoffknight, I booked a VW Tiguan with winter tyres in advance. The car was from the company Sicily by Car but I think I used the search site Rent.it rather than direct

Ridiculous that car hire companies let you pay for something with no intention of providing it (or even refunding you for that matter!).

They don’t care. I can still picture an American’s face at the car rental opposite Naples central station when they were informed. ‘It doesn’t make any difference if you booked an automatic, we don’t have any here!’

Centre of Naples is not the best place to have your first go at ‘stick shift.’

I managed to order and get an Audi A4 Avant quattro with Nexen winter tyres direct from Hertz for a smidge over £200, for 8 days, from VCE. Half term 2018. Only holiday so far where booking direct with a big gun has looked significantly better value than via a consolidator.

+1 for Sicily by Car.
Reservation with winter tyres worked fine back in early February. Important to have them.
They also have a desk in the main multi storey at Venice Marco Polo, maybe 10 mins inside walk from arrivals.

One thing if getting hire-chains is to make sure they fit before leaving the VCE car park. One year we heard a very annoyed person shouting at the AVIS desk because when they needed chains, the ones supplied were for a fiat 500 and not a big Volvo.
