If you're heading for the mountains to go skiing or snowboarding, please ensure that your rental car is equipped with Studless Snow Tires when you make your reservation.
What are Studless Snow Tires?
These tires were developed for driving on snow and ice. Made of rubber that resists cold and hardening, their grooves are deeper than normal tires to prevent slipping, which makes them indispensable on snow-covered roads.
These tires can be used even when driving on roads without snow, so there is no need to change tires on the move.
Even in vehicles equipped with Studless Snow Tires, driving in snow is dangerous. Please exercise caution when driving on snow-covered roads.
