If you find yourself in need of winter car hire, then contact Indigo Car Hire today.
If you’ve tried to hire a car in the winter months before, then you’ll know that it can sometimes be very difficult to arrange this service. After all, many suppliers tend to decrease their fleet levels at this time of year, meaning there are less vehicles available for those who need them. Thankfully, here at Indigo, we work with a wide range of suppliers, meaning we have access to thousands of vehicles.
In some instances, the weather can also make it difficult to arrange winter car hire. This is because snow and ice can make delivering the hire vehicle problematic. Unfortunately, these weather conditions also cause a spike in demand, as people try to hire four-wheel drive vehicles.
At Indigo, we understand that winter car hire is often a last-minute solution. After all, travel disruption may mean that you need to hire a vehicle to attend a work meeting or you may find that treacherous conditions have made your own vehicle unsuitable for travel.
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to arrange winter car hire, we can help. Whether you need last-minute hire or you’re planning ahead and booking a vehicle that’s suitable for a winter road trip, we can support.
Although we know that last-minute hire is sometimes the only option, we suggest avoiding this wherever possible. This is for two key reasons:
- If demand is high, it may be the case that no vehicles are available
- The vehicles that are available will be very expensive because demand will be higher than supply
So, don’t leave your winter car hire needs to chance, contact us today via email on sales@indigo.ecomfixers.com to discuss your needs.
Winter Car Hire Accessories
Aside from the difficulties associated with arranging a hire vehicle, driving in winter poses very obvious issues. To help, we can arrange winter car hire accessories that will help you drive in treacherous conditions:
Car Hire With Snow Tyres
Snow tyres/winter tyres give significantly improved handling and reduce stopping distances when the weather is below 7°C. Plus, they’re very useful when the road is wet or covered in snow and ice.
In some countries, snow tyres are mandatory at certain times of the year. Always make sure you are aware of the driving rules at your destination before you travel.
Car Hire With Snow Chains
Snow chains are available at selected locations. Although they are not compulsory, they can be hired with your rental car.
Snow chains are attached to tyres to provide better grip in snow or icy conditions. They must be fitted in pairs and they are usually fitted to the drive wheels of the vehicle.
Car Hire With Ski Racks
If you are planning a skiing holiday, then you will need a ski rack to hold your skis. Ski racks generally hold up to 6 sets of skis plus poles.
Ski racks are not available for every rental, and only certain vehicles can have them attached. For this reason, you should always check before booking.

I can't recommend this company strongly enough. Due to the previous closure of Dublin Airport due to snow my flight from Sydney was disrupted. I actually arrived 2 days earlier than my expected date Into deep snow. I called the Indigo 24 hr service line at 4am to leave a v/m and within 1 minute got a phone call back from Cherie who I had clearly woken up. "No problem, that's what I am here for was the reply to my sincere apology, I'll call you at 9am when I get to the office and your car will be available by 10am today." She called at 9am and the car was ready by 10am. Great service in difficult circumstances.
