Equipment rentalYour equipment rental app, your brand
Cabgo gives you the full app — customer and dashboard — so your kayaks, bikes or go-karts rent by time slot with counted inventory: if you own 6 kayaks, the app sells 6 and not one more. Prepay by card or pay at pickup, a check-in code for the handoff and a live schedule. You set it up from the dashboard; no coding required.
The rental business runs on unforgiving math: you own 6 kayaks, and at 11 AM on Saturday 9 families show up who 'reserved by phone'. Three leave angry and tell the story in tomorrow's reviews. The problem isn't demand — it's that your inventory is finite and your booking system doesn't know it. With Cabgo each type of gear is a resource with per-slot capacity: 6 kayaks from 10 to 11, 6 from 11 to 12. When the slot fills, the app stops selling it — overbooking becomes impossible. Customers book from your app, pay by card or at arrival (your call), and show up with their check-in code so your staff hands over the right gear without lines or paper lists. Rain or maintenance? Block the slot from the dashboard and nobody books a kayak in the middle of a storm.

02 — Use cases
Water sports
Kayaks, paddleboards and small boats at lakes and beaches, where inventory is counted and weekend slots are fought over.
Bikes & cycling
Hourly rental of city or mountain bikes, with a limited fleet and demand concentrated on weekends and popular routes.
Go-karts & experiences
Kart tracks, ATVs and per-turn experiences, where each slot has counted spots and a no-show leaves vehicles standing idle.
03 — What's included
Finite inventory per slot
Each slot sells exactly the units you own: 6 kayaks, 10 bikes, 8 karts. When they're gone the slot closes itself — overbooking is impossible.
Rental by hour or slot
You define each rental's duration — an hour of kayak, two of bike, one track turn — and the app turns your hours into bookable slots.
Pay on site or prepay
Charge by card at booking to lock the slot, or at gear pickup for the walk-up customer. You pick the rule per resource.
Check-in at gear handoff
Customers arrive with their code and your staff hands over what's theirs: what they rented, how many units and for how long. No lines, no lists.
Weather & maintenance blackouts
Storm, high tide or a kayak in the shop? Block slots or units from the dashboard and they stop selling instantly.
Automatic reminders
The app reminds customers of their slot ahead of time. Fewer no-shows, less gear standing around waiting for someone who isn't coming.
Customer loyalty program
Reward repeat customers with 6x1-style benefits that apply on their own. You measure each campaign's performance from the dashboard.
Bookings with gallery and map
Each item shows an image gallery, filterable tags and a map view, so the customer chooses clearly.

06 — Why Apphive
Your brand, not ours
White-label app on iOS and Android with your name and domain. Tourists keep YOUR app and rent from you again — not from whatever aggregator found them first.
Inventory that enforces itself
Per-slot capacity lives in the system, not in the manager's memory. Overselling stops being an every-Saturday risk.
Charge however suits you
Prepayment to lock peak slots, on-site payment for walk-ups, and a configurable no-show fee. The rules are yours.
Ready today, no development
Your whole inventory is configured from the dashboard in an afternoon — no custom app bill for a seasonal business.
07 — FAQ
How does the app keep me from renting more gear than I own?+
Each gear type is listed with its real units, and every time slot draws down from that inventory. When all 6 kayaks in the 11 AM slot are booked, that slot disappears from the app. Overbooking isn't 'managed' — it simply can't happen.
Can customers pay when they arrive, in cash?+
Yes. Configure pay-on-site and customers settle at gear pickup. You can also require card prepayment for high-demand slots — rules are set per resource.
What if it rains and I have to close for the day?+
Block the affected slots from the dashboard with an exception and they stop selling instantly. Existing bookings stay visible in your schedule so you can contact customers to rebook.
Can I rent several types of gear in the same app?+
Yes. Kayaks, paddleboards, bikes and karts coexist as independent resources, each with its units, price and rental duration. Customers pick what and how many in a single booking.
How does my staff know what to hand each customer?+
The customer's check-in code pulls up their booking: which gear, how many units, what time and whether it's paid. The handoff takes as long as it takes to read — and the Saturday line disappears.
Can I sell packages or memberships of several rentals?+
Yes. You set up a membership with a number of monthly sessions and the app keeps an automatic counter. Each time the customer rents, one use is deducted, and you see the consumption in their detail.
How do I notify my customers about promotions or new equipment?+
From the dashboard you send WhatsApp, email and push campaigns. The cost is deducted from your unified prepaid balance, so a single top-up covers all sends.
Can I give my team access without them seeing everything?+
Yes. You assign granular per-module permissions: one person can manage only the agenda and another the financial reports. Each one only enters what concerns them.
