By Period of Time
The Rental by Period Time type sells rentals as fixed-duration packages. Instead of letting the customer freely pick a date range, you define a list of packages (e.g. "3-Day Pass", "Weekly Rental", "4-Hour Session") each with a fixed price. The customer selects a package and a start date — the end date is calculated automatically from the package duration.
