In Screen Shot 97: Rental Vehicle Date Ranges - Detail Screen above, use has been made of the ‘Stay Length Min’ and ‘Max’ fields to create different Rate Names in order to set up the correct pricing for different lengths of hire. In this example, each of the rates created has different Min and Max settings – 8 – 14 day rate has Min 8, Max 14 and so on.

There are no stay rules set up, since there are no FOC days.
