Introducing Rentals — For Flexible Multi-Day Bookings
We’re excited to introduce Rentals within Calendars! 🎉
Rentals is a powerful new addition to Clixio’s scheduling suite, specifically designed for businesses managing bookable inventory, such as equipment, vehicles, venues, holiday properties, event setups, and more.
Unlike traditional appointment scheduling, Rentals is tailored for duration-based, inventory-driven bookings. This feature allows you full control over availability, pricing logic, booking types, and multi-item checkouts.
Whether you rent by the hour, day, week, or month, Rentals provides the flexibility to accurately reflect your real-world business model.
✅ Customisable Listings with Variants & Inventory
Create listings for each rental offering and configure the following:
- Pricing per hour/day/week/month
- Quantity tracking
- Variants (e.g., size, type, configuration)
- Lead time, buffer time, booking window rules
✅ Inventory Tracking & Availability Control
Manage how many units of each listing are available at any given time. The system automatically:
- Checks availability across selected dates
- Prevents overbooking
- Blocks unavailable inventory
✅ Flexible Pricing Models
Support for:
- Tiered pricing by duration or quantity
- Seasonal pricing
- Day-based pricing
- Security deposits
✅ Flexible Booking Types
Select how customers book based on your business model:
-
Date & Time Selector – Ideal for hourly and short-term rentals
-
Date Selector Only – Perfect for day-based or night-based rentals
-
Fixed Duration Bookings – Offer predefined packages (e.g., 3-day bundle, 5-day bundle)
Each listing can define its own booking behaviour. Customers have the option to book multiple rental listings in a single checkout—ideal for bundles, event setups, or combined equipment rentals.
✅ Customer Booking Page
Provide a dedicated, customisable public-facing booking page that:
- Displays listings and categories
- Shows real-time availability
- Offers a smooth booking experience
This empowers rental businesses to deliver a streamlined and professional booking experience.
✅ Flexible Booking Management (Admin Experience)
Rentals includes a comprehensive booking management system:
- Create bookings manually within the app
- Add multiple listings within a single booking
- Modify dates, duration, quantity, or pricing
- Automatically generate invoices for every booking
- Collect payments in-app
- Track booking statuses (Booked → Active → Completed)
- View and manage all bookings from Appointment List View or Calendar View
✅ Revamped Calendar View
A dedicated Rentals calendar view allows you to:
- See bookings across all listings in a unified grid
- View bookings colour-coded by status (Unconfirmed, Booked, Active, Completed, Cancelled)
- Filter by listing, status, payment status, and categories
- Open detailed booking information directly from the calendar
- Manage all rental operations from one centralised view
