 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey
First time posting here but thanks to all for helpful advice I've learned from previous threads
Heading on a ski holiday with 5 mates this year to a resort only accessible by car from.wjere we're staying (steinplatte on aus/ger border). So think we need a roof rack for skis
Does anyone have experience renting roof racks ideally from munich? You seem to be able to add them at checkout, though not clear to me how many each fit, whether they generally come pre fitted etc
Suspect it's a few calls to the rental agencies but any tips gratefully received 
Thanks
Russell

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

An alternative is to buy your own inflatable or soft roof rack, and take it with you - about £35 for a basic system from Amazon or similar, 1Kg weight. The only potential problem is that you'd have to fit it in the car park, which at Munich is typically some way from the hire company staff, but if you don't ask permission first they may object. For 5 pairs, this could be less expensive than a single mag mount, and of course you'd need 3.

If there's 6 of you do you not have something big enough to fit them inside? You might need to 'de-bag' them but would have thought youd get them in under/over/through the seats, certainly with enough comfort for the c. 2hr airport/resort drive.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you read the small print of your hire contact it will probably (in a convoluted, legal way) you can't fit your own roof rack to your hire car...so just chuck everything in, drive out the car park and around the corner and fit it there/reversing the process on your return.
I guess it could be an insurance issue if you have a big accident - but if you've had a big enough accident that you can't remove it it's probably way down your list if concerns.
