Ski hire online – the secret to less stressful ski holidays

Ski holidays should be a pleasant experience but let’s all admit they are less relaxing than beach holidays! With so many things to organise, especially on family ski holidays, the first few days quickly become stressful and exhausting rather than enjoyable. Once you’ve sorted out ski gear and ski passes for everyone, ski school for the older kids and childcare for the younger ones and worked out where everything is and how it all works, you might well feel like you need another holiday! One great way of saving time and stress is by pre-booking ski equipment online before you leave. Read on to find out why.

Understanding skiers’ needs

There are, of course, many companies offering ski rental online so we decided to take a closer look at what is on offer. We scoured the internet and came up with what we think to be a pretty good all-round ski hire service. The ski hire company Ski Republic seems to really understand what you want, need and expect from your ski hire. When you read their “manifesto”, you really feel that you would be well taken care off on your ski holidays. This is what Ski Republic believes in:

• We believe in the people's right to affordable ski hire.
• We believe in our customer's right to friendly service and to be welcomed with open arms every time.
• We believe all individuals deserve to be provided with the best equipment available.
• We believe in checking the equipment of every man, woman and child for safety and performance.
• We believe everyone is entitled to a free helmet if they require one.
• We believe in the strictest standards of boot hygiene, utilising special insoles at all times to avoid any suspicious smells.
• We believe that faster access to the equipment from our shops promotes greater joy in the lives of the people.
• We believe that our skiing expertise and passion should help our customers to get the most from their ski rental.
