Very unpleasant welcome. Mediocre skis. Lack of transparency and clarity in pricing (ski locker offered without the price being announced or displayed - for information, it's 12 euros per day, which is as much as renting a pair of skis with boots...).

The online service is certainly economically interesting, however, the service offers little flexibility and the options ultimately increase the price. Moreover, since the store is located away from the center, if you need to change the equipment, you lose time. To summarize, if you need equipment at attractive prices, it's not bad, but if you need more, you will ultimately lose out.

I reserved a prestige pack at expert level for a week in La Plagne. The equipment is nothing prestigious, particularly the shoes, which are low-end. The friendliness of the staff is remarkable but does not compensate at all for the usurped qualification of the equipment.

Rental of a prestige expert pack: nothing prestigious in there, skis cosmetically full of scratches and shoes barely better than the low-end (less than 250€ new) but charged 50% more than for beginner packs. Very disappointed in the end. I will surely rent elsewhere next time. However, the staff was very pleasant.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, both in terms of the welcome and the equipment.
Regarding the equipment, our team strives to adapt the material to the size and level of the skier. In this case, skis suitable for a youth/performance practice were offered, with alternatives when you returned to the store.
We understand, however, that this did not meet your expectations and regret that we could not provide you with complete satisfaction.

In terms of location. Ski Republic is located at the foot of the residence where we stayed, at the foot of the ski lifts so it’s perfect. Except that the ski rental is deplorable, skis that keep coming off and getting out of adjustment in the middle of the descent! Risk of injury +++ After returning to the ski rental shop to explain our problem, the staff only found to say that it was the weather... It should be noted that we were 4 people renting skis from them, 3 of whom had issues with their skis.

In-store service was very good, the advisors were nice and gave good advice for putting on ski boots ;). The after-sales service was not great, I requested a refund for a day of unused reservation. Refusal even though the skis were not blocked for others... not accommodating even though it was the client's fault.

I am very disappointed with the equipment I rented. The snowboard was okay, but the bindings were of poor quality. I had to change the bindings on the first day because my feet were coming loose as the bindings were not sturdy. The snowboard boots were catastrophic; they hurt my feet horribly. Similarly, I had to change them after the first day as my ankles were red, and despite changing shoes, the situation remained the same. I had to go rent other shoes from another rental company. After this bad experience, I hope the equipment will be renewed on your side.

Hello Madam,
Thank you for your feedback and for your message regarding the welcome in the store. We are pleased to hear that the team was able to assist you professionally.
Regarding your reservation, it was made online in the form of complete packages (skis, shoes, poles, and helmet). When you visited the store, you ultimately chose to take only part of the equipment planned in the reservation.
As indicated in our reservation conditions, the non-use of part of a package unfortunately does not entitle you to a partial refund, as the price is applied to the entire reserved package.
We are sorry if this may have caused confusion and remain at your disposal if you wish to discuss this matter further.

This review is about my online purchasing experience only. I should say I have always found Ski Republic rental staff to be fantastic, which is why I am using them again. The website does not appear to be compatible with Apple Safari browser. I tried on two different devices over several days, each time, the payment would not go through. Eventually, I tried Google Chrome and it worked. Apart from the inconvenience, the problem was that my original discount code had expired and a new one was worth 5% less discount, so I ended up paying 5% more than I should have.
