Would sending it to the moon require must less fuel than Mars or not
that much different ?

Given the OP's stated business proposition - charging people to drive
a rover around - difficulty of landing and or quantity of fuel to
arrive don't strike me as the biggest decision points between Moon or
Mars. Speed-of-light delays and so "interactivity" strike me as
greater issues in that the round-trip time for signals to/from the
Moon versus Mars would seem to very strongly favor the Moon.

one-way.

I don't see the fun of driving a rover on Mars lasting very long with
those sorts of delays.
