Step 2: Select Day Calculation Method

Go to: Charged By dropdown, choose of 3 options: Day/Night/Hour

a) A rental day as a calendar day ( charged by day )

Each calendar day counts as one rental day, no matter the pick-up or drop-off time.

-> Rental days = ( drop-off date ) - ( pick-up date ) + 1

Example: Rent from June 17 (7:00 AM) to June 19 (6:00 AM) = 3 days → $30 × 3 = $90. Even if drop-off is changed to 8:00 AM, the price stays the same.

b) A rental day as a night ( charged by night )

Each night counts as one rental day. Time selection is shown on the booking calendar

-> Rental Nights = ( drop-off date ) - ( pick-up date )

Example: Book a room from June 17 to June 19 = 2 nights (nights of 17th and 18th) → $30 × 2 = $60

c) A rental day as 24 hours ( charged by hour )

24 hours is counted as on rental day. Extra hours are rounded up and counted as another full day.

-> Rental day = ( drop-off date ) - ( pick-up date ) + X

X = 1: If ( drop-off time ) - ( pick-up time ) > 0

X = 0: If ( drop-off time ) - ( pick-up time ) < 0

Examples:

  • June 17 (7:00 AM) → June 19 (7:00 AM) = 48 hours = 2 days → $30 × 2 = $60

  • June 17 (8:00 AM) → June 19 (7:00 AM) = 47 hours = 2 days (1 day + 23 hours) → $30 × 2 = $60

  • June 17 (8:00 AM) → June 19 (9:00 AM) = 49 hours = 3 days (2 days + 1 hour) → $30 × 3 = $90

Please, note: If you want extra hours to be charged by the hour instead of full-day rounding, use the Mixed (day & hour) rental type.
