Heading to Alpe d’Huez or Madonna di Campiglio this winter? Well, whether you’re a master of the black run or this is your first trip away, car rental with a ski rack is the perfect solution.
Here at Indigo, we’re experts when it comes to ski car hire. Here we’ve outlined everything you need to know about this service, including how helpful ski racks can be and where you can hire them.
What are Ski Racks?
If you’re planning on going on a ski holiday this year, then you’ll need a ski rack to hold your skis. Generally speaking, a ski rack will hold up to six pairs of skis, plus poles. This means one ski rack has enough capacity for every family member’s skis.
Ski racks are fitted to the roof of the vehicle, so you don’t need to worry about interior space and storage.
Why is Hiring a Ski Rack with my Rental Car Important?
If you’re going skiing and hiring a car, then adding a ski rack is a necessity. This is because renting a car with a ski rack reduces the likelihood that your ski equipment will scratch the vehicle. In addition, it also prevents snow, ice and dirt from getting inside on your way back from the slopes.
Of course, by storing your skis and poles in a ski rack, you also clear a lot of space inside the vehicle. This can make your trips to and from the slopes much more comfortable.
Can I Get a Ski Rack on Every Rental?
No. Sadly, ski racks are not available on every rental. This is because only certain vehicles can have them fitted. For this reason, if you’re arranging car hire with a ski rack, you should make this clear at the start of the booking process.
Is Car Hire with a Ski Rack Available Everywhere?
Ski racks are available at selected locations. They can be reserved at the point when you book your hire car to ensure availability.
Although ski racks aren’t available worldwide, they are available for hire in the world’s most popular skiing locations, such as:

If you’re hiring for a week or longer, some suppliers will put a cap on the cost at around €40. This makes ski rack hire a relatively low-cost option.
