Baby equipment rental on holiday: why and how?

Every year, thousands of parents pack their cars to the brim to bring all of baby's equipment on holiday. Travel cot, stroller, high chair, car seat, baby bath: the list is long and the boot is small. The result: you arrive stressed, you've forgotten something, and you wonder why you didn't choose an all-inclusive hotel.

There's a simple solution: rent baby equipment directly at your holiday destination.

The concrete advantages of renting

Travelling light is the first benefit. Without the travel cot and stroller in the boot, you gain the equivalent of an entire suitcase. For families flying, it's even more obvious: every kilo counts, and a car seat in the hold is a breakage risk.

But that's not the only advantage:

• Premium gear: by renting, you access top brands (Stokke, Cybex, Maxi-Cosi) that you might not have bought for occasional use
• Guaranteed hygiene: at C&V, every item is cleaned and sanitised with baby-safe products between each rental
• Total flexibility: you rent exactly what you need, for the exact duration of your stay. No unnecessary equipment cluttering your holiday rental
• Eco-friendly: the circular economy at its best. The same baby cot serves dozens of families throughout the seasons, rather than gathering dust in a garage between trips

How does it work in practice?

At C&V Baby in Provence, the process is simple. You choose your items from our catalogue, enter your dates and delivery address. We automatically calculate tiered discounts (from 5 nights: -15% on items, -25% on packs) and delivery fees.

On the day of your arrival, we deliver and set up all the equipment at your accommodation. You don't have to do a thing. At the end of your stay, we come and collect everything. It's a turnkey service, designed so you don't have to worry about anything.

The deposit works by simple card imprint: it's never automatically charged. It's released 3 days after the end of the rental.

How to choose your rental provider?

Not all baby equipment rental services are created equal. Here are the criteria that matter:

• Equipment quality: choose providers who use recognised brands. A budget travel cot with a 2 cm mattress won't help your baby sleep
• Home delivery: having to collect and return equipment cancels out much of the benefit of renting. The service should be comprehensive
• Price transparency: no hidden fees, no extra charge for assembly, clear deposit terms
• Flexibility: per-night rental, tiered discounts for longer stays, ability to add or remove items
• Customer reviews: the best indicator of reliability

Packs: the most economical solution

Rather than renting each item separately, our packs bundle the essentials at a reduced price. The Essentials pack (cot + high chair at 15 euros/night) is perfect when your accommodation already provides some equipment. The Complete pack adds a stroller (25 euros/night). And for parents who want everything, the Comfort pack lets you choose 4 items from our entire catalogue for 30 euros/night.

With tiered discounts on packs (-25% from 5 nights, -35% from 12 nights), a 7-night stay with the Complete pack costs just 131 euros. That's less than the purchase price of a single one of these items new.
