Example:

• You rented a car from 01/09/2025 9:00 to 03/09/2025 7:00

• -> Rental days = ( drop-off date: 03/09/2025 ) - ( pick-up date: 01/09/2025 ) + 1 = 3-1 + 1 = 3 ( rental days )

• ->Total amount = 30 ( regular price / day )* 3 ( rental days ) = $90

• 

Calculation method: Night

Setup product like here:

• Rental type: Day

• Charge by: Day

• 

Calculation Formula

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

Example:

• You rented a car from 1/9/2025 to 3/9/2025

• -> Rental days = ( drop-off date: 03/09/2025 ) - ( pick-up date: 01/09/2025 )

= 3-1 = 2 ( rental days )

Setup product like here:

• Rental type: Day

• Charge by: Hour

• 

Calculation Formula

• 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

Example 1:

• You rented a car from 1/9/2025 09 :00 to 3/9/2025 10:00

• -> Rental days = ( drop-off date: 03/09/2025 ) - ( pick-up date: 01/09/2025 ) + X = 3-1 + X

  • X = 1 because: ( drop-off time ) - ( pick-up time ) = 10 - 9 = 1 > 0

  • So, rental day = 3-1 + 1 = 3

• -> Total amount = 30 ( regular price / day )* 3 ( rental days ) = $90

• 

Example 2:

• You rented a car from 1/9/2025 09 :00 to 3/9/2025 09:00

• -> Rental days = ( drop-off date: 03/09/2025 ) - ( pick-up date: 01/09/2025 ) + X = 3-1 + X

  • X = 0, because ( drop-off time ) - ( pick-up time ) = 9 - 9 = 0 = 0

  • So, rental day = 3-1 + 0 = 2 ( rental days )

• -> Total amount = 30 ( regular price / day )* 2 ( rental days ) = $60

• 

Example 3 :

• You rented a car from 1/9/2025 09 :00 to 3/9/2025 08:00

• -> Rental days = ( drop-off date: 03/09/2025 ) - ( pick-up date: 01/09/2025 ) + X = 3-1 + X

  • X = 0, because ( drop-off time ) - ( pick-up time ) = 8 - 9 = - 1 <0

  • So, rental day = 3-1 + 0 = 2 ( rental days )

• -> Total amount = 30 ( regular price / day )* 2 ( rental days ) = $60

•
