Let to Rent: Buying was yesterday, renting snowboards is today

With the "Let to Rent" program, DOUBLEDECK® has developed a groundbreaking solution that allows winter sports enthusiasts to use snowboards in a straightforward and flexible way.

How does it work? Instead of buying a board, interested customers can register in the online store and rent a snowboard. After registration, the DOUBLEDECK® board is conveniently sent to your home.

Rather than paying the full purchase price upfront, users opt for a monthly rental fee for the board. At the end of the chosen rental period, which can be extended at any point during the rental duration, the board can be returned to DOUBLEDECK® at no additional cost.

The board undergoes a comprehensive refurbishment, encompassing both material and design enhancements, and is made available for the upcoming season. This innovative model significantly prolongs the life cycle of DOUBLEDECK® boards, offering each board a second life – at least.

Renting is the new buying: Advantages for retailers and customers

The "Let to Rent" program offers dealers numerous advantages. Instead of purchasing snowboards and losing valuable warehouse space, dealers can seamlessly integrate these boards into the rental program. This ensures a consistent cash flow, as the boards are returned and made available for rent repeatedly. Dealers can thereby concentrate on their core operations without the need to manage board storage and sales.


In a nutshell, this means for specialist dealers:

  • Low Capital Commitment: Dealers are spared the need to make a substantial upfront investment in snowboard purchases. Instead, they simply pay a monthly fee, and at the end of the agreed rental period, the snowboard can be returned to Doubledeck at no additional cost.
  • No loss of value: As the snowboards are rented rather than purchased, dealers are shielded from market price fluctuations and seasonal demand variations.
  • Minimal Service Effort: Routine maintenance and repairs for the snowboards are handled by DOUBLEDECK®, relieving dealers of any servicing responsibilities.

And end customers also benefit from DOUBLEDECK®'s "Let to Rent" program.

They can rent their chosen snowboard by the day instead of buying it. This also means low capital commitment for them and allows flexible and cost-effective use of high-quality snowboards without the obligation of a direct purchase. 


The rental period can be extended at any time during the current rental. These factors make the program particularly attractive for occasional riders or those who want to try out different boards - as well as for snowboard beginners and returners. In addition, users do not have to worry about board storage and maintenance, as DOUBLEDECK® is responsible for this.

Winter sports revolution

The "Let to Rent" rental program is the first of its kind in the winter sports industry and sets new standards.

 

Through the innovative principle of renting instead of buying, DOUBLEDECK® enables the flexible and sustainable use of snowboards. The rental program creates a win-win situation for retailers and users and helps make winter sports more accessible and affordable for everyone – in addition to being an integral part of DOUBLEDECK®'s sustainability strategy.
