Rental Terms, Qualifications and Requirements

The Mountain Law requires drivers to equip their vehicles with anti-skid devices (snow tyres or chains or snow socks) in 48 departments between 1 November to 31 March.

Failure to do so might result in the vehicle being impouded at checkpoints and additional fees to be incurred as well as possible 
immobilisation of the vehicle (driver's responsibility). More information regarding the Mountain Law on the Road Safety website www.securite-routiere.gouv.fr.
