BDifficulty 3/5

As a general requirement for a passenger car in Spain, must it always carry snow chains even when no specific requirement arises from signs or road conditions?

Correct answer

No.

There is no general requirement always to carry chains. Permanent carriage differs from meeting a requirement to use a road section: signs or restrictions may require chains or other authorised equipment, such as winter tyres according to the applicable indication. Carrying chains in the boot is insufficient when their use is required. Check conditions and compatible equipment before travelling. Warning triangles are not the regulatory warning device for a Spain-registered passenger car in 2026: a certified connected V16 is required.
