How to grow your payments app with quad bike and buggy tours
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Quad bike and buggy tour operators take small groups of visitors on guided off-road rides, from an hour in the dunes to a full day in the mountains, often with pick-up from hotels. Many tours are booked the day before through a hotel or tour desk, riders often pay a deposit against damage, and extras such as photos, goggles or a meal stop are sold on the day. A payments app that takes bookings by link, handles deposits clearly and takes payment for extras can win these operators, and every rider who pays sees your app.
Talk to quad bike and buggy tour operators
Ask local quad bike and buggy tour operators:
- How do riders book and pay, and how many book through hotels or tour desks?
- How do you take and return deposits against damage?
- Do riders pay for photos, goggles or other extras on the day?
- How do you pay the hotels and tour desks that send you riders?
Take bookings by payment link
A payment link for a tour booked from a hotel the night before gets the money in at once and cuts no-shows.
Handle deposits and extras on the day
A clear record of each deposit, and a simple way to pay for photos and extras by phone, makes the day easier for riders and the operator.
Grow through hotels and tour desks
Off-road tours get most bookings from hotels, guesthouses and tour desks. One operator on your app can bring the businesses that sell its tours.
