Decathlon launches UK's first rental service
The sporting goods retailer has launched a rental service across all UK stores to allow its customers to stay active, overcoming barriers such as price or even lack of storage
This initiative will enable the retailer's customers to rent bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and all other kinds of sports equipment for a lower price, with a 50% discount on the second day. The process is simple: rentals can be ordered online and collected in-store just an hour later. Moreover, they can be cancelled up to 24 hours in advance, accounting for any weather changes.

“Despite having the appetite to try sports, committing to the cost of buying gear is one of the biggest barriers to people taking up something new. Rentals gives customers across the UK the opportunity to overcome this challenge by discovering the joy of different activities at an affordable price and in a sustainable way”, explained Chris Allen, sustainability leader at Decathlon UK.

“We are proud to be the first business to offer nationwide rentals and this is a positive step forward for sustainable sports retail”, he concluded.
