The jobs this software has to finish
The Capacity Confusion
Family of 6 books '5-passenger SUV.' Arrives. Doesn't fit. Counter scramble for upgrade. Kids crying in the lobby.
Display passenger capacity prominently: '5-Passenger SUV' vs '7-Passenger SUV.' Family knows before booking. Right size booked first time.
The Luggage Surprise
5 people + 5 large suitcases + ski gear. Will it fit? They arrive. It doesn't. Now what?
Include cargo capacity in description: 'Fits 5 passengers with moderate luggage. Third row reduces cargo space significantly.' Set realistic expectations.
The Car Seat Scramble
Family with toddler arrives. 'Do you have car seats?' Maybe. Maybe not. Definitely not installed.
Car seat as add-on during checkout. 'Add car seat ($X/day).' You know in advance who needs one. Pre-installed and ready at pickup.
The AWD Assumption
Guest books 'SUV' for mountain winter trip. Arrives. It's 2WD. Snow on the forecast. They expected AWD.
Create separate products: '2WD SUV' and 'AWD SUV.' Or clearly label drivetrain in each listing. Guests book what they actually need.
The Towing Question
Guest wants to tow boat. SUV towing capacity varies wildly. They booked wrong vehicle. Unsafe.
Include towing capacity where applicable: 'Towing capacity: 5,000 lbs.' Guests match vehicle to trailer weight. Safe towing.
The Size Confusion
'Compact SUV' vs 'Midsize SUV' vs 'Full-size SUV.' What's the actual difference? Guest confused.
Show photos of each vehicle. Include dimensions if helpful. Guest sees what they're getting, not just a category name.
