Partial rate defaults are used to tell the system how to charge for rentals that fall into more than one rate basis. For example, if a unit is being charged a weekly rate and a reservation is made for ten days, seven days will be charged at the weekly rate, three days will be charged according to how the partial rate defaults are set. The extra three days may either be rounded to the nearest week, rounded up to the next full week, prorated based on the weekly rate, or charged the daily1/2 dayor hourly rate. For each rate basis, select the radio button to specify how partial rental times should be charged.

Select the YES or NO radio button to specify whether to use grace periods. Grace periods allow extra time, at no charge, for late rental returns. For example, a unit is rented for an hour and is returned ten minutes late. If a grace period is not allowed, the customer will get charged for the extra ten minutes. If a grace period of ten minutes is allowed, the customer will not be charged for the additional time.
