Introducing Rentals – For Flexible Multi-Day Bookings

Modified on Thu, 5 Mar at 7:40 AM

Overview

We’re excited to introduce Rentals 
within Calendars!?

Rentals is a powerful new addition to the platform's 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
