How do the half-days or slots work?

It is now possible for owners to customise the rental for half a day in the "Rates" tab of the ad modification. To do this, the minimum rental duration must be set to 1/2 day.

Customised half-days (Slots)

It is possible to add up to ten personalised slots by clicking on "customise half-days". The slots are ideal to replace the standard half-day system as they will allow you to define precise times for each slot with different rates.

The types of slots fall into two broad categories:

  • The predefined slots. They are designated (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, AfterWork, Wake Session, Bachelor(ette) parties), a duration and a start time (optional). Each slot can only be booked once each day. (Example: Evening 3h // departure: 18h)
  • Time slots. They have a fixed duration, but no start time, and can be reserved for an unlimited number of hours in a day (Example: 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, etc.) so you'll have to be well organised to avoid overbooking).

The predefined slots allow you to better inform the renters of the available half days and also to avoid overbooking.

Some details to know:
1/ If a slot is reserved, you can no longer rent by the day (Ex: if you have set up 3 slots (morning, afternoon and evening) except if your slots have "day compatibility"

2/ If you create 2 slots that overlap :

  • Slot 1: Wakeboard 3h // departure: 2pm,
  • Slot 2: one slot Afternoon 3h // departure: 14h,

If one of them is rented, this will not make the other slot unavailable. We therefore recommend that you do not set up slots with overlapping timetables.
