If I could give 0 stars I would for the customer service. They wanted to charge me an additional $30 to do a quick calibration of my kids’ boots in their ski bindings. Fortunately I was able to do it myself in less than two minutes. This should have been a simple complimentary service after spending $100 on tuning the family’s skis.

  • Alex Zamoshchin

Don't rent from here. When you return your skis they are extremely stingy. They will examine your skis for any sign of imperfection and charge you extra for anything they can think of. I was charged $60. My friend had minor scratches and was charged $30. The only way we could have avoided charges was if we hadn't used the skis.

  • Niki Wilson

We called Saturday night for a Sunday raft rental, made our reservation and all was ready for us next morning. Equipment was great...we got several comments floating down the Bow about how nice the raft was...we pointed them all your direction! Easy return Sunday evening. Thanks!!

I have used Sports Rent for many different services (bike service, roof topper rental, ski rental) and have always had an amazing experience. I also recommend them to everyone who wants to try a sport or save money on a rental vs a purchase. Recommend 100%

  • Cyn Thia

Unfortunately I was improperly sized for my XC-ski based on the activity i presented to the staff, which resulted in a bad experience on the slopes. Based on the weight I told them and the amount of gear I was hauling I was given gear that

  • Trevor Cherewka

Went to rent a few pairs skates for the day. I was asked to put on a mask. Explained that I have an exemption. The young employee (who I am sure was just saying what he was told to say) asked me for proof. I explained that I don't need to

  • Jack Shotski

Stay away. Seems reasonably priced for ski rentals but will charge high fees upon return for a tune up! This was a 5 day ski rental. No damage except some minor scratches. Nobody else would do this. Don't bother with this place. Also did

  • Zach Klooster

Went in with some used cross country skis and zero knowledge. The team behind the desk walked me through my skis and were very helpful for a beginner like myself. The other thing I found great was the low pressure setting really makes me

  • Chris Eshpeter

I always get the best service and professional advise from these guys. Super quick and efficient. Not sure why so many low * reviews. SR has always provided top brand equipment and I have never had any issues. Great skate sharpening too!!

  • Jake Purkiss

Terrible service, cancelled an order and was left with a credit we could not use, upon using the credit they charged our card twice for a damage deposit. Employees are poorly trained. Customer service is low. They do not provide anything

  • Peter Paik

Very quick and efficient service. The equipment was great and tailored to my needs. Convenient location for heading to the mountains. The rental period was perfectly flexible for a one day rental being able to pick up the day before and

  • Sivan Letourneau-Shesaf

Extremely disappointed with the service. Went to pick up a snowboard last night and there was a bit of a line outside (nothing crazy). The staff was so stressed about just getting through the line that they were basically non-functional

  • Jordan Schaffland

I was there on Sunday, March 4th with my uncle. We rented a full setup for myself as this was my first time ever skiing. The store was pretty busy at the time, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, the speed of service was

  • Sarah Hansen

First time renting from this business. They were flexible with pick up time and had lots available. I rented classic cross country skis. One of the grip pads ended up coming off while I was skiing at the Nordic Centre in

  • Joe Giardine

Visited Sports Rent after the airline lost our skis! The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We were in and out with the right equipment in 15 minutes. Returns were easy as well. Thanks for saving our ski vacation!

  • Luke H

In and out in less than 15 minutes for getting the rentals which fit great and was in excellent condition, and took less that 2 minutes to return the rentals. Much easier than renting at the slopes

  • Fedor Logachev

Very professional staff. Helped me out to get the right snowboard, helmet and boots. Business hours are just perfect if you are going early in the morning to Rockies for a fabulous day of riding.

  • Jared Kirsh

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I honestly don't understand why this place has a 4.2!!! If you look at the people who have reviewed this place poorly, they're all miserable and their reviews are stupid.

  • Jocelyn Paynter

Sports Rent is great! Knowledgeable, quick, and helpful staff. Reasonable prices, plus a very helpful 24 hr rental policy where you can pick up equipment the night before.

  • Chris Darc

Great spot to rent ski gear. The staff are great, the gear is good, and the prices are good. Great hours, enough time to pick up and return in the same day. Classic.

  • Charles John

Rented a Specialized Diverge for a 10 day cycling touring trip. Bike was in great condition, staff was friendly and helpful, and the price was very reasonable.

  • Jordan Eddy

Do not, I repeat do not rent anything from this shop. Un-organized front desk, will lie to you regarding stock to bring you in and terrible customer service.

  • Paquette Family

Phenomenal service! Our family walked in & out with full ski rentals in no time. Drop off was a breeze, the equipment was great and the price was right.

  • Trina Papageorge

We rented downhill skis, poles and helmets from Sports Rent. This was only our second time ever skiing and the time before rented from the ski resort.

  • Susanne Ouellet

I have rented a bike there. The equipment was so good. However, they ordered a value of my credit card, which supposed would be get back.

  • J Lai

Fast and efficient. Had to get 3 pairs of ski bindings adjusted. I was in and out within 15 min. Friendly staff. Fantastic experience.
