How your billable rental days are counted

This setting decides how Renta counts the number of billable days in every multi-day rental — and it directly changes what a booking costs, because your daily and multi-day rates are multiplied by that count.

Where to find it

Fleet → Pricing → Payment & Policies → Rental Day Counting card.

The Rental Day Counting card

How it works

• Counting rule — one of two options:
• Calendar dates (inclusive) — the default. Both the pickup day and the return day count as full billable days.
• Calendar span (difference only) — only the nights between pickup and return count; the pickup and return days themselves don't add an extra day.

Example

A customer picks up Monday and returns Wednesday.

• Inclusive: billed for 3 days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday).
• Span: billed for 2 days (the span between Monday and Wednesday).

At a $100/day rate, that's a $300 booking under Inclusive versus $200 under Span — the same rental, a different price, purely because of this setting.

Good to know

• This applies to every multi-day rental across your whole business — it's a single tenant-wide setting, not something you choose per booking.
• It also decides which duration-discount thresholds a booking hits (a "3+ day" discount can fire under Inclusive but not under Span for the exact same dates) — see Where duration discounts live across your fleet.
• Changing this setting changes pricing going forward; it does not retroactively re-price existing bookings.
