# By Transportation

<figure><img src="/files/bJcM51Fc0aur0t942LhI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **Rental by Transportation** type has no per-day or per-km base rate. Instead, pricing is defined as a **route price matrix**: each combination of Pick-up location and Drop-off location has its own fixed price and estimated travel time. The customer selects their route and the system looks up the price automatically.

{% hint style="info" icon="lightbulb-exclamation" %}
Locations used in the price matrix must first be created in **BRW Settings → Locations**. Without this setup, the location selectors in the matrix will be empty.
{% endhint %}

## 3: Pricing Settings

### 3.1 Location Price Matrix <a class="button primary">price-locations</a>

Define the fixed price for each pick-up and drop-off location pair. This is the **only** pricing mechanism for the Transportation type — there is no per-day, per-hour, or per-km rate.

{% hint style="danger" %}
All locations used in this matrix must be created in **BRW Settings → Manage Locations** first. If locations are not found in settings, the dropdowns will be empty.
{% endhint %}

| Column            | Meta key             | Description                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pick-up location  | `pickup_location[]`  | Dropdown selecting the origin location from globally defined locations. The customer chooses their departure point.           |
| Drop-off location | `dropoff_location[]` | Dropdown selecting the destination location. Together with pick-up, this defines the route.                                   |
| Price             | `price_location[]`   | Fixed price for this specific pick-up → drop-off route. Shown automatically when the customer selects this route combination. |
| Time (minute)     | `location_time[]`    | Estimated travel time in minutes for this route. Displayed to the customer as informational text (e.g. "\~45 min").           |

{% hint style="info" %}
**How it works:** In the booking form, the customer selects their pick-up and drop-off locations from dropdowns. The plugin matches the selection against the matrix and displays the price. If no matching row is found, no price is shown.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Symmetry:** A route from A → B and B → A are treated as separate rows. If you want to offer both directions, add two rows: one for A→B and one for B→A (they can have different prices).
{% endhint %}

## 4: Shared Fields

Transportation type uses pick-up/drop-off locations for route selection (not for extra fees — that's replaced by the price matrix).
