I am tryng to hire an SUV from various companies in Denver to go on a roadtrip round colorado, and all of them have said that they dont supply snow chains as part of their winter packages, and that customers are not allowed to fit them to the rental cars - now in Europe most cars come with snow chains if rented in or near an alpine location. I guess they dont in the U.S because they are afraid of being sued or similar if a customer doesnt fit them correctly ?

All the companies have said that the cars come with all weather tires, but having spent alot of time driving in the european alps i would consider it madness not to have snow chains in case of an emergency - any advice ?
