Overview
Rates by Model lets you create a unique Daily Rate for each vehicle model within your fleet, enabling a single Vehicle Group to satisfy multiple use cases.
How does Rates by Model work?
Think of each Vehicle Group as a source of business. The source of business may satisfy warranty invoices, customer-paid invoices, or any other case that applies to your dealership.
After assigning vehicles to Vehicle Groups, those vehicle models will auto-populate within the group’s cost recovery settings, where you can then apply model-specific daily rates.
First, evaluate your rental and loaner operations, then determine if more than one Vehicle Group is needed. If so, create additional groups, then assign vehicles. Next, set a Daily Rate for each model within the groups.
To create new Vehicle Groups and configure group settings, the Admin permission is required.
