FareHarbor vs the Implemnt rental package: which fits a UAE rental business?
FareHarbor is built to sell tours and activities online and through travel sites. The rental package is built for the counter: walk-ins, the clock on every asset, waivers, payments and the end-of-day count. If most of your sales happen online, FareHarbor is made for that. If most happen at your counter, the package is.
What FareHarbor does well
From FareHarbor's own site, this is what it does well:
- Online booking for tours and activities in 23 languages, with waitlists and self-service rebooking for customers.
- Connections to over 250 online travel agencies and travel platforms, plus its own network of 500+ affiliates.
- FareHarbor Dock for walk-up sales, with a kiosk mode, a staff mode and printed receipts on supported hardware.
- Waivers in select regions, memberships, and automated emails and text messages to customers.
- QuickBooks Online and Xero connections, and an AI agent that answers guests across phone, email, chat, SMS, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Which one should you pick?

- Pick the rental package if most customers walk up to your counter and rent by the hour or the day, a team runs that counter, and you want one monthly price with no fee on any booking.
What the rental package includes
- Timed rentals with live time and price on the counter computer, a tablet and staff phones.
- Waiver and ID at sign-up, done by the customer on their own phone, in English and Arabic.
- A connection to the invoicing or accounting software you already use.
- A loyalty card in the customer's phone wallet, and win-back offers to customers who stop coming.

Ready for UAE e-invoicing
UAE e-invoicing reaches most businesses in 2027: appoint an accredited service provider (ASP) by 31 March 2027, then send invoices through it from 1 July 2027. We connect your invoicing to the ASP you choose, so every invoice the counter makes reaches it without retyping, and the ASP sends it in the PINT AE format over the Peppol network. We are the integrator, not an ASP, and the provider's own fees are paid to them. See the list of accredited service providers and our UAE e-invoicing guide.
What does the rental package cost?
AED 2,000 setup, then AED 1,250 a month, with a 12-month minimum and no per-user fees. That covers hosting, updates, support and up to 10 hours of changes every month. A larger operation, with many locations or a big fleet, is priced on its size after the free call.
