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 :-)

Not sure if it has been posted but budget / Avis are offering winter tyres from Lyon on several car hire models (Renault Austral or equivalent) , smaller peugeot etc.
Also it looks like Europcar are doing the same with their intermediate SUVs. The Europecar option comes up on their own site and budget/avis appear on their sites and aggregators sites (eg autoeurope).
The prices are about the same as the vehicle plus socks/chains hire and in some cases less.
There could be a chance that you rock up and winter tyres has become snow socks included but this is the first time I have seen this from Lyon. thoughts?

Do they state winter tyres are guaranteed, or do they state ‘winterisation’?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

'Winter tyres'
First time I have seen it, so a bit sceptical. Avis and Europcar.

, thanks. I’ve got my rental cars for this coming season booked from Geneva, but have a slight preference for Lyon so if I could guarantee winter tyres (and if the cost of the flight and the rental fee was similar to flying to GVA) I’d be happy to switch airports.
Be interested to see whether the Lyon rental cars do come with winter tyres if that’s what is booked. My only previous experience of booking cars in France with winter tyres (Avis in Toulouse, for a trip to the Pyrenees) was not positive.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, it clearly states winter tyres included. But I am working under the principle that if I turn up and somehow it has become 'snow chains included' the price was still better than the car rental plus chains option. I am expecting to be disappointed.

Whilst looking for winter tyres for my new car I've been told sourcing winter tyres is difficult this year because of demand in Europe. Maybe the Hire co's are fitting winter tyres!
