1. Day-Based Pricing Plan
Our Plugin supports two day-based Pricing plan:
1.1: Regular Pricing Plan
The Regular Pricing Plan is used if you have a common rental price for all days in the week
1.2: Daily Pricing Plan
The daily Pricing Plan is used if you have different rental prices for the days in the week
2. Ways to Calculate Number of Rental and Booking Days:
There are 3 different ways to calculate number of rental and booking days:
2.1 Define a rental day as a day
With this pricing plan, rental days are calculated based on number of days in the calendar , regardless to the pick-up time and drop-off time.
Suppose that You let your customer rent a car for 30 dollars per day. A customer makes a booking from 17/06/2024 at 7:00 AM to 19/06/2024 at 6:00 AM, so rental time days are 17th, 18th, 19th Therefore, your customer must pay: 30x3 = 90 dollars for 3 days ( 17th, 18th, 19th ) for a car. If he change Drop-off Time from 6 A.M to 8 A.M, he still only need to pay $90.
2.2) Define a rental day as a night
With this pricing plan, rental days are calculated based on number of nights, regardless of pick-up time and drop-off time. Therefore, in this rental type, group of start hours and group of end hours won't be showed in the calendar in front-end for you to choose.
Suppose that you run a hotel and you let your customer book a room for $30 per night. A guest makes a booking for a room from 17/06/2024 to 19/06/2024 , so rental days is calculated as 2 nights ( evening of the 17th and evening of the 18th ). Therefore, the total amount the customer must pay: $30x2 = $60
2.3) Define a rental day as 24 hours ( a day unit = 24 hours )
With this pricing plan, rental days will be calculated based on number of hours ( 24 hours is considered as a day unit ). Extra hours after counting the number of rental day units will be considered as a rental day.
Suppose that you let your customer rent a car for $ 30 per day. A customer makes a booking:
From 17/06/2024 at 7:00 AM to 19/06/2024 at 07:00 AM, the number of hours the customer booked is 48 hours ( 2 rental day units ), so rental days is 2 days. Therefore, he must pay $30x2 = $60
From 17/06/2024 at 8:00 AM on 19/06/2024 at 7:00 AM, the customer rented the car for 47 hours: 1 rental day unit + 23 hours ( 23 hours is calculated as one rental day ), so rental time period is considered as 2 rental days. Therefore, he still must pay $30*2 = $60
From 17/06/2024 at 8:00 AM on 19/06/2024 at 9:00 AM, the number of hours the customer booked is 49 hours: 2 rental day units + 1 hour ( 1 hour is considered as one rental day ) , so rental time period is considered as 3 rental days. Therefore, he will must pay $30*3 = $90.
Please, note, if you expect that a rental day will be calculated as 24 hours, and extra hours will be calculated according to hourly pricing plan, you can refer Rental Type: Mixed ( day and hour )

4) Global Discount
This feature enables you to set Duration-Based Cost. This means that you can offer different prices for different lengths of booking. By offering personalized pricing, you can attract more guests and keep them happy with clear and fair rates.
5) Special Time
This helps you set price for special time periods ( like holidays, seasons... ). After setting date-range pricing plan, you also can offer different prices for different lengths of booking during those special time periods.
For example: Your car will be rented at $30 for per day from 01/07/2024 at 7:00 AM to 31/07/2024 at 7:00 AM. However, a customer only need to pay $25 for each day if he rents for 3 days during the time period from 01/07/2024 at 7:00 AM to 31/07/2024 at 7:00 AM.
Please note: if the customers book on special time, the price will calculate by price of special time without calculating by price of global discount.
