- Check the car comes with winter tyres or snow chains.
Why not “Pre-booked transfer to your door”? You'd get there 37 min sooner (23:51) and the risk is low instead of some, but it costs €424 more. Our pick balances cost, time and risk.

Worth knowing
▲ On many mountain roads in Piedmont, winter tyres or snow chains on board are compulsory from 15 November to 15 April (from 15 October in the Aosta Valley). Most Italian rental cars have all-season tyres; ask the desk about chains.
Other ways to do it
Not possible at this time
- Bus and train: To catch the last connection to Italian Alps you need to be out of arrivals by 16:00; you're out at about 21:45. A transfer or a hotel near the airport are the usual fallbacks.
