Our Plugin supports two day-based Pricing plan:
The Regular Pricing Plan is used if you have a common rental price for all days in the week
The daily Pricing Plan is used if you have different rental prices for the days in the week
There are 3 different ways to calculate number of rental and booking days:
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.
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
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.

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.
