Don’t let the snow or ice prevent you from making the most of your car rental. In most cases you can continue driving in these areas by simply adding snow chains to the car tyres. Today it is very simple to put snow chains on tyres and this will let you continue your journey which could be very difficult without the chains. Having peace of mind that your car has snow chains is just a click away. Add this extra to your car rental when you make your booking on our website. If you are not sure how to put snow chains on your car, then just ask a member of staff and they can give you instructions on how to do so. Nevertheless, here is a brief tutorial on how to use them.

 

Α) Snow socks or fabric snow chains

These are easier to place on the tyres and work just as well. The only problem is if you use them on
roads with no snow they will deteriorate quickly.
To put them on, all you need to do is to place it over the whole tyre the right way round, then you just
cover the tyre starting from the top and then move the car forward slightly to continue covering the rest
of the tyre.

 

Β) Snow chains

These are slightly more difficult to put on but more resistant.

  • First thing you need to do is to roll them out flat on the floor to make sure that the chain is
    tangle free. The first step is the most difficult as you need to fit to the drive wheel by feeding the
    chain behind the tyre
  • Lift both ends of the plastic cable to the top of the tyre and join hoop together. Connect the
    hook to the colored chain, ease hoop over back of tyre, take loose section of chain and place in
    the tightening ratchet, pull tight and hook up excess chain.
  • Drive forward slightly to give a final tension

Always remember that the maximum speed when using snow chains is 40km/Hour and you must take
them off your tyres as soon as the road is clear
