Rate categories are used to define a rental period of time such as hourly, daily, weekly, weekdays, weekends, or holidays. In addition, you can easily edit rate categories and can create your own time categories that are more specific such as a 4 hour rental or a 3 day rental.
This section will explain how to:
| ▪ | Create rate categories |
| ▪ | Edit or Delete existing rate categories |

To add a new rate category, follow these steps:
1. Go to Setup - Rates
2. On the left navigation bar, click Rate Categories
Setup - Rate Categories
3. Click the Add category button. You will get a blank rate category ready to be configured.
New Rate Category
Give your new category a Name. The name will appear as a column in the Rate List as well as in the listing of products in the booking calendar. Give it an appropriate name that coincides with the type of category, i.e. Hourly, Daily, or Weekly.
The Description field is optional and can describe the category.
The Type field is used to select the rules for this rate category. Valid options are:
