// THE PROBLEM
Why Operators Are Leaving FareHarbor
The legacy booking platforms were built for a different era — and a different world. Here's what operators run into every day.
The Hidden Fee Problem
FareHarbor adds a ~6% booking fee directly to your customer's checkout total in ADDITION to the ~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction you pay in card processing — a ~9% true cost every booking. Your guests are fleeing from hidden fees, and it's driving them straight to your competition.
You Don't Control Your Own Pricing
Your tours look ~6% more expensive at checkout than a competitor selling direct, because the guest sees the surcharge — and ~2.9% + $0.30 still comes out of your own margin on every transaction. Your guests pay more AND you lose margin in the process!
Built to make money off you — Not for you
FareHarbor is owned by Booking Holdings (parent of Booking.com, Priceline, and Kayak), their business is to make money off the customers you marketed for. They are in the business of making money off you — not for you.
Slow, Clunky Checkout
FareHarbor is slow and clunky taking customers an average of 4-17 minutes to make a reservation resulting in cart abandonment and oftentimes frustration. This is reflecting badly on your business before a customer even walks through the door.
Years Behind the Curve
FareHarbor is years behind, and it's starting to show: outdated emails, no user profiles, no employee features, no fleet maintenance, no crew safety compliance tools, no built-in affiliate program or loyalty program and no AI-powered features. It's an outdated booking calendar — nothing more.
Your paying in more ways than you think.
The FareHarbor customer experience is not focused on your business or brand — the checkout, the emails, the booking pages — free advertising — on the website you paid for, with the customers you marketed and acquired, all promoting FareHarbor … on your dime.
