Car hire quote GVA 7 days April 2010

Holiday autos GBP180 BUT

From 01 November - 15 April it is mandatory for rentals to have winter tyres. If you choose not to include the winter package (GBP70.00) as part of this booking you will be charged locally

So actually thats GBP250

Easy Europ Hire GBP237 BUT

Rental charges include Winter tyres

Appears to be a no brainer...or have I missed somethin?

Are Easy Europ Hire pricing on current exchange rates? Do all the other charges balance up?

I've hired through HA half a dozen times, never paid for the winter package and never been charged at GVA (Swiss side). Funnily enough the cars have always had winter tyres and a set of chains in the boot... of course, I've now jinxed my next trip and will doubtless be given something with slicks on...

I'd take the risk. Go for the cheaper one and you may get lucky - the chance of saving GBP60 odd, for me, far outweighs the possibility of having to pay an extra GBP13.

I've asked about this at Geneva and hire firms have non-winter-tyre vehicles at a cheaper rate for people who will be driving locally. So there is a reasonable chance that if you go for non-winter-tyre option that may well be what you get. Which could be very bad news if you take it up into the mountains.
