About Rental Methods

Quick to: Introduction •  Setup individual parts •  Combine in Rental Setup

Introduction

The Rental Method is the foundation of the Let's Book system. In a nutshell, it allows you to link your schedule, pricing, and communication to a combination of a dock and a boat type. Here's how it works:

1. Set the individual parts

First create your individual settings for:

• Schedule - when the boat is available for rent.
• Pricing - the rental price. 
• Confirmation - when bookings are confirmed.
• Communication - the messages that customers receive.

You can create different versions of the above to allow flexibility, such as using different prices or schedules for different boats.

2. Combine them in the Rental Setup

1

Find dock / boat combination

To set up your rental method, go to the Rental Method section and click on the dock/boat model combination you want to configure.

2

Set timings and select settings 
Choose the period in which the rules will apply and select the schedule, pricing, confirmation method, and communication flow.

3

Save
Save changes and test booking form to ensure proper functionality.

Transition period

When you start a new schedule, you might want bookings to continue from the previous one; otherwise, all boats have to be back at the dock when the new schedule starts.

Go to your rental methods and and click a dock / boat type combination. In the 'transition period' section, check 'Allow trips from the previous period to continue into this one' and set the overflow time.

Example

In this example, multi-day slots with a pickup between June 1 and June 30 are granted the flexibility to return until August 7, thanks to your 7-day transition period starting from August 1.

Documents

When you connect WaiverForever to Let's Book, you can also select which documents your renters must sign when they book boats from this dock. Read more about it here.
