The multislope ski-rental problem is an online optimization problem that generalizes the classical ski-rental problem. The player is offered not only a buy and a rent options but also other options that charge both initial and per-time fees. The competitive ratio of the classical ski-rental problem is known to be 2. In contrast, the best known so far on the competitive ratio of the multislope ski-rental problem is an upper bound of 4 and a lower bound of 3.62. In this paper we consider a parametric version of the multislope ski-rental problem, regarding the number of options as a parameter. We prove an upper bound for the parametric problem which is strictly less than 4. Moreover, we give a simple recurrence relation that yields an equation having a lower bound value as its root.
