Before collection
Deposit and equipment check
The source rules require a passport, driving licence, or cash collateral equal to the listed replacement value. Confirm the accepted method for your booking before arrival.
Before leaving the shop, check sizes, fit, quantity, condition and every component issued with the equipment. Staff can explain available options, but the current programme, route, season, forecast and guide determine the final technical list.
The renter is financially responsible for the equipment during the rental. Existing damage should be recorded before collection.
