What are the winter tyre rules in Slovenia?

From 15 November to 15 March, and whenever there is winter weather, cars must have winter equipment. Our cars have winter tyres fitted for this period.

Slovenian law requires winter equipment from 15 November to 15 March. Outside these dates the rule applies whenever roads are covered with snow or ice.

What counts as winter equipment

Winter tyres on all four wheels with at least 3 mm of tread, or summer tyres with snow chains on board. In practice, rental cars use winter tyres.

What we provide

Every car we hand over in this period has winter tyres. For trips into the mountains in heavy snow, ask us about chains when you send a request.

Sports cars in winter

Rear-wheel-drive sports cars are less suited to snowy mountain roads. In winter we suggest an all-wheel-drive car such as the BMW M4 Competition or Mercedes-Benz S 500.
