    Il take a look - one of the probs iv been having is that because im picking from Munich, the cars dont come with Snow tyres as standard, but its the law in Austria in the winter season

    Winter tyres are also mandatory in Germany, for hire cars at least, from Dec-Feb inclusive. I was in Bremen last year and the guy in front of me got charged 7 Euros/day for them but I didn't. Booked mine through E Bookers
  • You 100% certain? So if I order a car, it will come as standard?!

    99%, it will have winter tyres but you will have to pay a supplement, think I just got lucky. Found this thread on Honest John, it's 2 years old now but wouldn't expect the law to have gone back to std tyres, sems to pretty much cover your scenario. Post 6 by Zub quotes the "law".
