Kayak & watersports hire
Kayak & watersports hire software
Take bookings online, skip licence and fuel entirely, and move a booking in two taps when the weather turns.
Glovebox lets kayak, paddleboard and watersports operators book online and hand over fast, with condition photos on pickup and return. There is no licence, no fuel and no plate to wade through, and a bond is optional.

The forecast
A southerly rolls in with six bookings tomorrow
The forecast turns and now you have six sessions to move, one phone call at a time, while the phone keeps ringing on the water. The cash tin at the shed does not help either.
What the pickup captures
The simplest handover you can run
Condition photos and a signature, and that is the hire. No licence, no fuel gauge, no odometer and no plate, because a kayak has none of them. A bond is there if you want it, off by default.
As quick as the hire itself.
Pickup handover
2 stepsEverything a kayak handover needs, on a phone at the counter.
No licence, no fuel gauge, no odometer, no plate: a kayak carries none of them.
When the forecast turns
Move a kayak booking in two taps
Reschedule or refund a booking from the same screen, without a phone-tag chain. Everything moves with it: the payment, the confirmation and the calendar slot.
The weather changes; your day does not fall apart.

What you will not need
Kayak hire never needs COF tracking, licence capture, fuel lines or an odometer, so you will never see them. Just the booking, the photos and, if you want it, a bond.
Your watersports website, included
Every plan comes with a themed, mobile-first website with booking built in. Here is how it looks on the Coastal theme.

Frequently asked questions
Is Glovebox suitable for kayak and paddleboard hire?
Yes. Pick kayak hire and the product drops licence, fuel, odometer and registration, and keeps condition photos on by default, so the hire is quick and the gear is on record.
Do I need to take a bond on watersports hire?
No. Bonds are off by default for kayak hire, and you can turn one on in settings if you want it, so you set the policy.
Can customers book online by the day?
Yes. Take date-based bookings and payment through your booking widget or a hosted Glovebox site, so a session is booked and paid before they arrive.
What about a large fleet of identical kayaks?
Today each kayak is listed individually. Quantity-based pools of identical units are on the roadmap, so get in touch if that is how you run.
Can I move my existing bookings over?
Yes. We help you import your current bookings and fleet when you start, so you are not re-keying a season of data by hand.
Do I need a new website?
No, but you get one included. A themed, mobile-first site with booking built in comes with every plan, or you can embed the widget on the site you already have.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee and no per-booking cut, and the trial runs 90 days with no credit card to start.
