Kajakkbox: self-service kayak rental from boxes that double as benches

Kajakkbox.no, founded by experienced kayak guide Tine, offers an innovative concept that seamlessly combines kayak storage and rental services. Strategically located in southern Norway, the kayak boxes not only store kayaks securely but also double as comfortable benches. This dual-purpose design invites visitors to either relax and enjoy the scenic views or rent a kayak for an adventurous exploration of the surrounding waterways.

The vision is to offer good meeting places and paddling fun for as many people as possible.

For me, it’s sea kayaking that brings me the most joy, with the opportunity to go on adventures and discover lots of places

The challenge: simplifying the rental process

When Tine reached out to us at Rentalbuddy, one part was missing, the possibility of booking the kayaks in the kayakboxes without needing any staff involvement.

“With Rentalbuddy I got a booking system with great quality, ensuring that my customers get a great booking- and paddling experience. It has worked well for my 4 locations and the solution can easily be scaled to multiple locations. The team behind it has helped to get it up and running quickly, and they are solution-oriented and constantly developing”
