Taking money and giving it back
How do I discount people who book at the last minute?
There's no video on this page yet. The answer is the real one. When we film it, this same page gets the tape.
Create a Last Minute price rule with a booking window maximum of 2 days and a negative percent, like -15%. Bookings made inside that window get the discount.

How it actually works
The rule looks at how close the booking is to the rental, not at a handwritten coupon.
Easy to mix up
- Last-minute means you type a new price on every Saturday morning cart.
- A weekend surcharge and a last-minute discount cannot both exist.
