❄️ Why are tire fees charged year-round?
In Quebec, the Ministry of Transport mandates that all vehicles must be equipped with winter tires from December 1 to March 15.

To meet this requirement, rental companies, including Globe, maintain two sets of tires (summer and winter). Tire fees are charged year-round to cover:

  • Purchase of both sets of tires.

  • Installation, balancing, and equipment costs.

  • Seasonal storage for the off-season tires.
