Checkfront is built for tours and activities and does that well. For a vehicle rental the thing that stings is the pricing: $99 a month plus 3% of every online booking — a fee that grows every time you raise a price or have a good month.
Prices read from their own pricing page on 25 August 2026. The shop in the last column has 125 vehicles across four locations at $25 a day.

| A 125-vehicle shop, 4 shops | ~$1,505/mo | $700/mo |
Their 3% on a busy 125-vehicle shop is over $1,400 a month. We charge $700 and it does not move when your revenue does.
Put your rates up in high season and their fee rises with you. Ours does not.
AI on WhatsApp in your guest's language, booking while you sleep.
Holds, funds checks and card-on-file built for vehicles that come back scratched.
Lockbox codes and photo records, so pickup happens on their schedule.
Plates, service history, charge state, per-type agreements.
Send whatever you are using now — an export, a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp list — and we bring it across. A small shop can be taking bookings within a few days. A bigger fleet across several locations takes around two weeks, because there is more to get right and we would rather get it right than get it fast.
$8 per vehicle a month, less as you grow. Free to start, no card.
