Yes, you can put chains on rental cars. In fact, it is often necessary in order to drive in snowy or icy conditions. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before doing so.
First, check with your rental car company to see if they allow chains on their vehicles. Some companies do not allow it, so it’s important to find out before putting them on.
Second, make sure you know how to put the chains on correctly. It’s not difficult, but if you’ve never done it before you don’t want to be stuck trying to figure it out when you’re already in the middle of a winter storm.
Finally, remember that you are responsible for any damage that occurs to the rental car while the chains are on. So if you do end up getting into an accident or otherwise damaging the car while driving with chains, you will be held liable and will likely have to pay for repairs.
Overall, putting chains on a rental car is perfectly fine as long as you take some precautions first. Just make sure you check with the company and know how to put them on properly before attempting it in adverse weather conditions.
