Yes, if you have not resided in the EU for more than 6 months
you can lease a car. You will have to complete a statutory
declaration which is provided with your lease contract attesting
to the fact that you are travelling on holiday and that you
will return to a non EU country at the end of your lease
period/holiday.
Your wife, your children and your parents can drive the vehicle
at no extra charge if they are at least 18 years old, have
a valid driver's license for the countries in which they
drive, and if they comply with the same tax-free regulations
as you do. NB: Partners can also drive the vehicle if your
relationship has been officially recognized or if they sign
an official sworn statement.

you decide to purchase your own snow tyres you must return
the car with its original all weather tyres or you will be
billed for them.
