Any if you chose to exceed tax free limits (full tank of gas, 10 liter spare) or buy too much booze, try to avoid leaving the valley on the road that leads to Austria, there's an Austrian checkpoint there where you will be questioned by customs. Instead take the other exit of the valley direction St.Moritz and then the main road border crossing from Switzerland to Austria. It's on a one or two miles detour.

logos999, tcreath, thanks for the weather update.
bobthenavigator, thanks for the tip on drop-charges. When checked it with them the drop-charges alone came to a whopping $657 for taking car in paris and dropping in Vienna.
Hence all my plans have changed now. Iam planning to take at Innsbruck and drop at Vienna after travelling thro Nice and Italy. Any suggestions on that?

Well, min -5C at the Brenner pass on Monday and some snow. The Autobahn will be free, Innsbruck to Nizza is quite some distance, do visit Venice, the Wörthersee, Klagenfurt and Graz. (Visit the Landeszeughaus there!) I'd also stay in either Rust, Mörbisch or Oggau for at least one night. The storks are back!

OR you could do San Bernardino and Lago Maggiore. (I would) More stress but surely far more scenic than the Brenner and the north Italian plain. Then to Vienna on the plain via Venice and Klagenfurt. It's a hoilday, right? A lot of driving for only 10 days.
