  • From €1,000/day — 200 km included per day, fully comprehensive insurance included; indicative price incl. VAT, varying with the season and your dates.
  • Deposit by pre-authorisation — €15,000 held, not debited if everything is in order, released on return.

Vehicles prepared for the season.

Renting a car for winter in the Alps is first of all a matter of preparation. Here is ours.

Winter tyres fitted

Throughout the season, every car in the fleet leaves on winter tyres, with tread and pressures checked. No box to tick, no hidden extra: it is included.

French Mountain Law compliant

From 1 November to 31 March, winter equipment is mandatory in French mountain areas (Loi Montagne II). Our vehicles are equipped — you drive fully compliant across Savoie and Haute-Savoie.

Checked before every departure

Fluids, brakes, lights, battery, winter washer fluid: a systematic check before each rental, because a breakdown at −10 °C is no small matter.

Comprehensive insurance included

All our cars come with fully comprehensive insurance, and the deposit is a simple card pre-authorisation — nothing is debited if everything is in order.

Porsche Cayenne Coupé hybrid winter rental in Savoie — all-wheel-drive snow SUV
The SUV alternative

Porsche Cayenne Coupé, the all-season SUV.

All-wheel drive, 480 hp from a hybrid powertrain and a boot that swallows the suitcases: the Porsche Cayenne Coupé is the ideal SUV for stringing together motorway, valley and resort road without a second thought.

  • 480 hp · hybrid · all-wheel drive — stable and reassuring on cold or snowy tarmac.
  • From €450/day — 200 km included per day, fully comprehensive insurance included.
  • Deposit by pre-authorisation — €7,000 held, not debited if everything is in order, released on return.

For the valleys and the cities.

Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy, Lyon: on the clear roads of the valleys, the Taycan and the M3 — winter-equipped as well — remain excellent choices.

For mountain passes and snowy roads at altitude, go for the G 63 AMG or the Cayenne Coupé.

The finest roads of the alpine winter.

Based in Chambéry, we know these roads by heart. A few ideas for your stay.

The Tarentaise

From Moûtiers up to Courchevel, Méribel and the 3 Vallées: the valley of the great resorts. A superb climb — and closely monitored in winter, which is exactly why a proper 4x4 pays off. Our Courchevel page →

The Maurienne

Valloire, Valmeinier, Aussois: a quieter valley, authentic villages and spectacular winter panoramas straight from the road.

Lakes & valleys

The loop around Lac du Bourget from Aix-les-Bains, the west shore of Lake Annecy under the snow: routes you can drive all season, perfect in the Taycan or the M3.

Resort to resort

Staying at altitude? We deliver straight to the resort — chalet, hotel or residence: €600 return to Courchevel and Val Thorens; for other resorts, a distance-based rate confirmed by our team. Ski resort car rental →

Winter driving: our honest advice.

A beautiful 4x4 is no substitute for caution. What we tell every client before handing over the keys.

Anticipate, plain and simple

On snow or cold tarmac, braking distances stretch considerably. Drive smoothly: progressive acceleration, early braking, no sudden steering.

4x4 helps — it does not exempt you

All-wheel drive improves traction — not braking, nor grip through corners. Even in the G 63 AMG, snow demands respect.

Check the road before you leave

Weather, the state of the passes, resort shuttle times: two minutes of checking saves many a detour. Any doubt during your rental — call us.

Mountain Law, handled

From 1 November to 31 March, winter equipment is mandatory in French mountain areas (Loi Montagne II). Our vehicles are equipped — there is nothing for you to arrange.

Your questions about winter.

Are your cars fitted with winter tyres?
Yes. Throughout the season, every vehicle in our fleet is winter-ready: winter tyres fitted, with fluids, brakes, lights and winter washer fluid checked before each rental. They comply with the French Mountain Law (Loi Montagne II), which makes winter equipment mandatory in mountain areas from 1 November to 31 March.
Which car should I choose for driving on snow?
For resort roads and mountain passes, choose a 4x4: the Mercedes G 63 AMG 2024 (585 hp, twin-turbo V8, permanent 4x4) is our winter benchmark, and the Porsche Cayenne Coupé (480 hp, hybrid, all-wheel drive) an excellent SUV alternative. For the valleys and cities — Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy, Lyon — the Porsche Taycan and BMW M3, also winter-equipped, are ideal on clear roads.
Do you deliver the car to ski resorts?
Yes. We deliver to Courchevel and Val Thorens (€600 return) as well as to other resorts across the Alps, such as Méribel, Val d'Isère or Alpe d'Huez, straight to your chalet or hotel: the rate is then based on distance and confirmed by our team. Pick-up is free in Chambéry, at our agency or at Chambéry railway station; delivery and collection are also available at Aix-les-Bains station (€30), Annecy station (€130) or Lyon Part-Dieu station (€200), return prices.
What is the French Mountain Law (Loi Montagne II)?
From 1 November to 31 March, the French Mountain Law requires winter equipment (winter tyres, or snow chains/socks on board) in municipalities classified as mountain areas — which covers a large part of Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Our vehicles are equipped: you drive fully compliant, with nothing to arrange yourself.
Do you offer a chauffeur service in winter?
Yes, chauffeur-driven service is available on request: airport transfers (Chambéry, Geneva, Lyon), drives up to the resort, day trips. For Geneva, international cover is available as an option (€20/day, subject to approval). Call us on +33 4 80 81 91 38 (7 days a week, 9am–6pm) or message us on WhatsApp for a personalised quote.
