Book your ski rental: tips and best practices

Before starting your reservation, some information is essential. It is particularly advisable to know the dates of your stay, your destination, and the store where you wish to pick up your equipment.

For each skier or snowboarder, certain information also helps prepare suitable equipment: height, weight, age, shoe size, and practice level. This information applies to both adults and children.

Providing this information during your reservation allows the store team to prepare your equipment in advance and particularly facilitates the adjustment of bindings.

To remember: remember to book your accommodation before your ski equipment to know your exact dates and resort of stay.

Information to prepare before booking

To save time when booking online, gather for each member of your group:

• height in centimeters;

• weight;

• age;

• shoe size;

• ski or snowboard level.

There isn't a single period that consistently guarantees the most advantageous rate. Prices can vary, in particular, according to the period of stay, its duration, the resort, the store, and the range of equipment chosen.

Anticipating your reservation, however, allows you to take the time to compare different possibilities and run several simulations. Booking several weeks or months before your stay can allow you to benefit from attractive rates, depending on the conditions offered by the stores.

The rental period should also be taken into account: school holidays and periods of high traffic can affect availability and prices.

Compare offers before booking

Price is not the only factor to consider. To choose your rental, also remember to:

• the store's location;

• the range of equipment suited to your level;

• the type of equipment sought;

• the services offered by the store;

• the availability of equipment on the desired dates.

Online booking allows you to prepare your rental before arriving at the resort. It notably allows you to pre-fill the characteristics of each skier and select your equipment according to the available options.

This anticipation can also be interesting for groups and families: all information can be prepared before departure, to limit the procedures once on site.

Even as the stay approaches, it may be possible to book online until the day before the first day of rental. However, during peak periods, waiting until the last moment may limit availability on certain ranges of skis or snowboards.

To reduce the budget allocated to rental, several possibilities can be considered.

Anticipate and compare prices

Booking early enough allows you to compare prices and the different ranges available. It is also possible to carry out several simulations depending on the duration of the stay, the resort, or the equipment sought.

Check promotional offers

Depending on the period, Ekosport-Rent may offer promotional codes allowing you to benefit from rental discounts.

Also remember to check the benefits offered for group rentals and multi-day stays. Among the Ekosport-Rent advantages are 7th day of rental free and the TRIBE for certain group bookings.

Once your reservation is made, remember to check the information associated with your order and organize your arrival at the resort.

By providing the information for each skier in advance, the store can prepare the equipment before your arrival. This helps to make pickup simpler and faster.

Also allow enough time before your first day of skiing to collect your equipment and check that it meets your needs.

To prepare your rental in the best conditions:

1. Define your dates and your resort before searching for your equipment.

2. Gather information for each skier : size, weight, age, shoe size and level.
