Golf cart, LSV and e-bike rental companies weigh features, price and day-to-day work. Here is how the two stack up, including where Checkfront is the better pick.
Checkfront is a straightforward booking system with a single published plan: $99 a month plus a 3% online booking fee. It includes resource management, booking widgets, built-in waivers, reseller connections and API access, and it has dedicated golf cart and bike rental pages.
Cruise & Scoot adds the day-to-day work Checkfront leaves out of its published features (live phone-based GPS, delivery dispatch, photo check-in and check-out, ID verification and town street-legal rules) and sends shoppers to you through a free marketplace. The tradeoff is a higher commission on direct bookings.

It depends on where your bookings come from. Checkfront is $99 a month plus a 3% online booking fee, so it gets cheaper per booking as direct volume grows. Cruise & Scoot is free to start, takes 15% on marketplace bookings, and takes 7% on direct bookings with Storefront OS ($99/mo).
Live GPS tracking isn't in the features Checkfront publishes. Cruise & Scoot tracks carts live on a map from a phone, with no hardware to buy.
