Hi! Does anyone have any recomendations for booking equipment hire online?
Last year I paid €58 for a 'superior' package for my 12yo at Arc 1950, best I can find this year is €97 for a similar pack, same week of the year at Tignes Le Lac.
Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers

AlpinResorts - ALPISKI and Snowbrainer - SKISTAR - I've not used either of these companies and the codes quoted but thanks to Sideways_Jnr being 13 anf having the audacity to grow, we're having to hire equipment at Easter. A friend (and fellow ) sent me these codes earlier. Managed to get hire cost halved from the nigh on €100 initially found in La Plagne.

Not working for me , possibly because I'm booking in Italy and not France
Got a promo flyer on Facebook from Alpinresorts , offering up to 65% off , code is SEASON23,
Price exactly the same with or without code

I’ve used Alpinresorts for years, the email they sent me gave a better rate than season23 - code was ALPISKI

I would recommend going straight to the shops website just to get a comparison - sometimes they can be cheaper than skiset

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yes, but perhaps even better, go into a privately owned shop holding the folding and negotiate the best price for cash.
This is especially effective in Italy for obvious reasons
|

|
Should one enter the hire shop with the folding notes and negotiate a stellar deal, how does the shop take security for the loaned kit, or do they not care? I'm interested!

You know it makes sense.
|
Ive always found www.ski-republic.com/ cheapest. They also have promo codes, just message their social media for latest one.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Certainly some Ski Republic shops are used by Alpine Resorts so you can go through them and use the ALPISKI code. Not saying direct won't be better, just that you can.

I clicked through on the link, curious to why does 'Snowheads strongly recommends not going through Skiset'?

Groupon are offering quite a discount on ski hire with Skimium.
A £3 voucher gets you 40% off.
a £5 vouchers gets your 50% off.
There are some terms and conditions with dates when it can be used but it's saved us a good £400 for our group.

Have fun
