Rent a ski set from a neighbor near you
One or two mountain trips a year do not justify owning skis, and resort rental lines are long. Borrow a tuned set from a neighbor before you leave town.
What it costs to rent a ski set
Rental counters typically charge about $35 to $70 a day for a ski set, plus a damage waiver and tax. On Rentsome, neighbors set their own daily rate, and it is usually lower because they are not running a store. Every booking adds a 15% service fee (minimum $2) and sales tax, both shown before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held on your card, never charged, and released 72 hours after you return it.
A new ski set runs roughly $400 to $1,200. At about $53 a day, renting stays cheaper until you have used it around 15 days in total, before counting storage, maintenance and the resale value you never get back.

Renting a ski set: common questions
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
