You should know the answer to that :-)

That's for sure ! But it will be to late !

If you have them in the car, about 0%.

If you don't, then about 100%.

Not sure how u calculated that 100% :-)


Murphy's Law.

If you have them, you won't need them. But if you don't have them, you
are sure to need them :-(

You are right !! :-((

"Snow tyres EUR 15.50 per day, EUR 120 per month" quotation from the
rental agreement
This is vrery expensive considering you buy the CDW and the car is
let's say 40Euros/day.
If you have CDW why would you care for their car afte all ?

I will see if I can get winter tires from the rental company.
It should be standard by my opinion, especially if the snow chains are
required by law on some roads.

According to a recent research of Auto Club Europa, one third of the
rental cars in Germany are actually equipped with snow tires during
the winter. An according article in Süddeutsche Zeitung
(http://www.sueddeutsche.de/automobil...l/848/86762/8/) said that
you should insist in snow tires *when booking* the car. Often, there
are surcharges up to 15 euro a day or snow tires are not available for
smaller cars.

I am driving to St Anton in February, I do have winter tyres on car (
Conti-wintercontact) . It sounds from this that it is very unlikely
that I will need chains as well then?

Route will be via Germany
