In the event of a closure of ALL of the ski area usually accessible from the equipment rental location –and only in such cases – you may return your rented equipment and the applicable rental days will be deducted. Your refund will be processed within 14 days, by crediting your account or by bank transfer. For more details, please refer to our General Terms and Conditions at the bottom of the website home page.
In winter, stores are open seven days a week with extended opening hours in most cases. Opening hours for each store are given on its dedicated page on the website, after entering the name of the resort and the store. For further information, please contact the store.
All services are listed on the home page of each store. Select the resort, then select the store. Scroll down the page and you will find information under "Equipment and available services". If the store provides a service you are interested in, you can select it at the end of the order process in Step 4 – Details of your booking.
Yes, all our ski rentals include poles and they cannot be removed from the pack.
Yes, you can rent any type of ski or snowboard without the boots. Our rental equipment comes as a pack. However, if you do not want to rent boots, simply uncheck the corresponding box by clicking on it. The opposite also applies, i.e. you can rent boots as a stand-alone option. You will find boots under the equipment and material tab.
This option is available at some stores. You will find ski helmets as a stand-alone option under the "Helmet" tab. If this is not offered online for the selected store, you can rent a helmet in-store.
We select the ski and pole size based on your height and weight. We therefore recommend that you provide the information requested at the end of the booking process, and also again in-store if necessary.
If you have subscribed to the "Switch between ski and snowboard" service offered by certain stores, you can switch from skiing to snowboarding in the same range once during your stay! Some stores even offer unlimited equipment changes!
Single-day rentals are available at some stores at certain times. This option will appear on the INTERSPORT RENT website when choosing your store and the dates of your stay. Single-day rentals are also available when requested in-store. Of course, this is at the discretion of our stores depending on the period.
No. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the availability of a specific model. However, our stores will aim to provide you with equipment of at least equal quality. For specific requests, we recommend that you contact the store directly.
The option "One change of skis during the week" or "Unlimited ski changes" is available at some stores. You can purchase these options when choosing your equipment (step 2 of the booking process). It will always be possible to make changes in-store, either free of charge when changing to a rental pack in the same product range, or at a revised price when changing product range (e.g. switching from the Red pack to the Black pack).
Unisex skis may be used by men or women. Skis in the Women's category are specifically designed for a woman's size, and are lighter.
Yes. When you come to collect your equipment, our ski technicians will check that the rental equipment corresponds to your actual height and shoe size. Where an item does not fit properly, they will provide more suitable equipment. Our ski stores usually have plenty of equipment in stock to ensure that you can make changes if necessary. There is no extra charge if the category of equipment actually used during the rental is the same as that requested when booking.
For children aged six or under, the KID range is ideal. For ages seven and upwards, we recommend the JUNIOR BLUE (for beginners), or JUNIOR RED (for more competent/experienced skiers).
You try on your ski or snowboard boots before leaving the store. That way, if your boots don't fit, you can change sizes there and then.
Helmets are not included in the pack. However, we recommend that you rent a helmet to provide maximum protection for your child in the event of a fall or an accident.
Yes, you can rent equipment for other snow activities at some stores via our website. Simply go to the "Other activities" tab when making your booking.

Booking your bike on the Intersport Rent site is very simple.
Choose your cycling activity, your holiday destination, then your hire dates. Select your shop from the list, then the cycling equipment you need. Go to your basket to confirm the booking, enter your details and proceed to payment. You can then collect your equipment from the shop or have it delivered to a specified location - provided that the shop you have selected offers this service.
If the destination you are looking for does not appear in the list, this means that online bike hire is not available for the shops concerned. However, the shops in this station may offer direct in-store hire. You can find shop details in our list of INTERSPORT shops offering bike hire.
Online hire lets you choose from mountain bikes, road bikes, DH downhill bikes and electric-assist bikes, plus many other items such as baby seats, trailers, etc.
The catalogue displayed is specific to each shop, depending on their selection and their playground. Some products available in a particular shop may not be available in other shops.
Depending on your age and body shape, you can select the bike size that suits you best. We also offer children's bikes, including electric versions, so you can pedal with the whole family on holiday.
Each shop has its own cancellation policy. Consult the General Terms and Conditions of Hire to find out more.
In addition, please do not hesitate to contact the shop in question directly by telephone or e-mail if you wish to cancel or modify a booking.

Accessories are not automatically included with the hire of a mountain bike, road bike, DH bike or VAE. However, you can add various items of equipment to your online rental:
- adult and child bicycle helmets
- child's rear seat
- child's front seat
- pannier ;
- bicycle pedals, etc.
The accessories available depend on the shop, but they all offer at least helmet hire to guarantee your safety.
When you book your bike online - provided that the selected shop offers the service - you can choose to have the equipment delivered. In this case, delivery can take place at your holiday accommodation or at a strategic meeting point (e.g. the start of a hiking trail or Bike Park). Contact the shop where you hire your equipment to arrange delivery.
If you have not booked a delivery option, the equipment will be collected from the shop.
Hire prices vary according to the shop selected, the type of bike hired, its size and the hire period. The price (including VAT) is displayed next to each item of equipment (excluding insurance and accessories) and for a given period.
To make your online reservation, the authorised methods of payment are: Carte Bleue, Visa and Mastercard. Other payment methods may be available depending on the shop you choose.
The shop may offer the option of paying only a deposit or the full amount of the booking.
There are no strict restrictions on hiring a road bike, mountain bike or EVB. However, for reasons of safety and comfort, it is important to choose the right size of bike. Depending on the shop and the model, there are sizes to suit every body type, from XS to XL.
For junior bikes, the most common sizes range from 20 to 26 inches, but some shops also offer bikes for younger children.
If you're in any doubt, don't hesitate to contact the shop for advice before making a booking.
Each shop has its own price scale, depending on the models it offers, its location, etc., but also on the length of the hire period. The longer the rental period, the lower the cost per day. To save money, for example, it's better to hire for 3 days than 3 one-day rentals.
Opening hours vary from one Intersport shop to another. Check the details of the shop in question to find out its opening days and times, address and telephone number.
You can find this information by accessing the complete list of shops offering bike hire.
When you select the location and hire dates for your bike, you will see all the bikes offered by the shop. Selecting the size will give you a more detailed view of availability, and the start date and duration fields will be contextualised according to this criterion. If a bike is not available for the half-day, day or days you have chosen, you will see that it will not be possible to add it to the basket. You are then free to change your booking dates to be able to choose the bike in question, or to select another type of available bike.
The warranty will be offered either as an option on the equipment in the catalogue or directly as an option on the booking.
Warranty conditions vary from shop to store.
Don't hesitate to click on ‘?’ for details of the guarantees offered - you can also contact the shop by telephone or email.
The sending of a voucher is not automatic and varies from shop to shop. If the shop has chosen to send vouchers, you will receive your confirmation by email within a few minutes. If this is not the case, you can click on the ‘print’ button on the confirmation screen to retrieve your booking details.
The deposit is set by the shop where you hire your bike. The amounts vary according to the equipment selected and the final price.
You have the option of paying it directly after booking - 7 days before the start of your stay you will be sent an email to pay it if this has not been done - if not, the deposit will be paid in shop.
In all cases, if you are asked for a deposit and have not paid it, you will not be able to collect your equipment and use it.
Please consult the specific terms and conditions for each shop for more information.
