Introducing Rentals — For Flexible Multi-Day Bookings

🧭 Overview

We’re excited to introduce Rentals within Calendars!🎉

Rentals is a powerful new addition to the scheduling suite, purpose-built for businesses that manage bookable inventory like equipment, vehicles, spaces, vacation properties, event setups, and more.

Unlike traditional appointment scheduling, Rentals is designed for duration-based, inventory-driven bookings — giving you full control over availability, pricing logic, booking types, and multi-item checkouts.

Whether you rent by the hour, day, week, or month, Rentals gives you the flexibility to model your real-world business accurately.

🚀 What’s New?

✅ Customizable Listings with Variants & Inventory

Create listings for each rental offering and configure:

  • Pricing per hour/day/week/month
  • Quantity tracking
  • Variants (e.g., size, type, configuration)
  • Lead time, buffer time, booking window rules

✅ Inventory Tracking & Availability Control

Control how many units of each listing are available at any given time.
The system automatically:

  • Checks availability across selected dates
  • Prevents overbooking
  • Blocks unavailable inventory

✅ Flexible Pricing Models
Support for:

  • Tiered pricing by duration or quantity
  • Seasonal pricing
  • Day based pricing
  • Security deposits

✅ Flexible Booking Types

Choose how customers book based on your business model:

  • Date & Time Selector – Ideal for hourly and short-term rentals
  • Date Selector Only – Perfect for day-based or night-based rentals
  • Fixed Duration Bookings – Offer predefined packages (e.g., 3-day bundle, 5-day bundle)

Each listing can define its own booking behavior.

✅ Multi-Item Bookings

Customers can book multiple rental listings in a single checkout — perfect for bundles, event setups, or combined equipment rentals.

✅ Customer Booking Page

Offer a dedicated customizable public-facing booking page that:

  • Displays listings and categories
  • Shows real-time availability
  • Offers a smooth booking experience

This gives rental businesses a streamlined and professional booking experience.
