Pre-Booking Rental Skis
Is there a benefit in pre-booking rental skis in Alpine resorts?
I can think of queue avoidance as an advantage if priority really is given to those with a printed-off web booking, but I would think this is only likely at peak times. Websites claim 25-30% saving on 'in-resort' rates but I have not been able to test this: haggling might produce the same result. Has anyone found evidence of a real saving or convenience? -- Any help TIA Please reply to Newsgroup scrambled address |

Had to hire in Meribel this year after trashing my skis on day one - Checked a rental website (www.snowrental.net) when I got home and it looks like I would have been about 20% cheaper renting online in advance.

Thanks Ian, I have used SnowRental once before but didn't manage to find out if I had really saved anything. regards, mutley |
