Rental

The Rental tab defines whether an aircraft can be booked for rental and how pricing is calculated.

Core settings

This tab includes:

• Rental aircraft
• Calendar group
• Subscriptions
• Billing based on
• Default rental price
• Default startup fee
• Pricing Strategy
• Custom Pricing Rules

Available for rent

The available for rent switch explicitly enables the aircraft for rental use. If this switch is off, the aircraft is not treated as a rental aircraft.

Calendar group

Calendar group controls the scheduling context for the aircraft. Make sure it matches the intended booking and planning setup.

Subscription requirement

You can require a valid subscription before a relation can book the aircraft. When enabled, you must select which subscription types qualify.

Billing basis

Aircraft rental can be billed based on:

• Engine time
• Flight time

This setting directly affects operational billing behavior.

Default prices

Two base values define the standard pricing model:

• rental price per minute
• startup fee per flight log

These values apply to anyone who does not match a pricing exception.

Pricing strategy

If a relation matches multiple valid subscriptions or labels, the pricing strategy decides which rule wins:

• Apply lowest price
• Apply highest price

Custom pricing rules

Rules can target:

• Subscription
• Label

For both rental fee and startup fee you can use:

• an absolute value
• an offset relative to the default value

Offsets are useful when the default price should stay central and exceptions should only add or subtract from it.
