Create a Pricing Ruleset

Pricing rules apply across all reservations during a specified time. You can set up recurring revenue or fees in the top chart, and promotions or credits on the bottom. All rules listed here will be applied automatically to any associated vehicles.

Ensure that you have not created any duplicate or conflicting rules to prevent any unwanted double charges.
