Pricing Rules & Seasonal Prices

Daftra provides several pricing methods to suit your car rental company, and a pricing rule is a method by which you determine how you will charge your clients for renting your cars. Additionally, Daftra offers a seasonal pricing feature that allows you to set customized prices during specific seasons. With this feature, you can specify a time range where the rental price is different than the regular price for the rest of the year.

Click on “Car Rental Pricing Rules” from the dropdown menu under “Rental and Car Management” in the main menu.

All previously created pricing rules will be listed, along with their names, pricing methods, prices, and status. Also, for more actions on a pricing rule, click on the “…” button and pick your preferred action from (View, Edit, or Delete).
