This is a step-by-step breakdown of how to set up Rate Types. This feature will allow you to have a set of rates for specific groups of clients (e.g., retail vs. corporate).

When can I use rate types?

When you have a group of customers that you would like to offer special rates to. These rates can differ from your regular rate structure for some or all vehicle classes.

<aside> 💡 When a system has more than one rate type, please make sure that:

1. All rates have a rate type configured. Do not leave any rate with the rate type field empty.
2. There is at least one rate type set as the “Default?” (Internal Reservations) and “Default for Public Reservations”

How can I set up rate types?

First, navigate to Settings → Car Rental Settings → Rates, then click on the hamburger button displayed in the upper right-hand corner and click on “Rate Types,” as shown in the image below.

You can create as many rate types as needed.

Once you have clicked on this button, it will take you to the Rate Types page, as shown in the image below.

Now, you must create your rate type by clicking on the “Add Rate Type” button located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. A modal will appear requesting the following information:

• Name – Enter here the rate type name.
• Default? – When set to “Yes,” the rate type will be applied by default in the reservations created internally. When set to “No,” it will not be the default rate, and you can select the rate type that applies when creating the reservation internally.
