Setting Nightly, Hourly, and Daily Pricing for Rentals

Rentals don't fit a single pricing shape the way a fixed-length appointment does. A vacation property prices by the night, a meeting room by the hour, and a piece of equipment by the day — sometimes all within the same account.

Choosing a pricing model

Each listing can be set to price by a unit of time that matches how customers actually think about the rental:

• Nightly — best for overnight stays, priced per night regardless of check-in/check-out time.
• Hourly — best for short-use spaces like studios, courts, or meeting rooms.
• Daily — best for equipment or vehicles rented by the full day.

Setting rates

1. Open the listing and go to its pricing section.
2. Choose the pricing model that matches how the unit is actually used.
3. Enter the base rate, and add seasonal or date-specific rate overrides if you charge more during peak periods.
4. If you offer discounts for longer bookings (weekly or monthly rates), set those thresholds so the discount applies automatically once a booking crosses the length requirement.

Displaying totals clearly

Make sure the booking page shows a clear breakdown — base rate times the number of nights/hours/days, plus any add-ons, taxes, or deposit — before the customer confirms. Surprise totals at checkout are one of the biggest drivers of abandoned rental bookings.

Good to know: If you change a listing's pricing model after bookings already exist, review those existing bookings manually — the system won't retroactively recalculate confirmed reservations made under the old model.
