Fixed Rate Discount

Fixed Rate Discount

Purpose

Fixed Rate discounts are applied to the reservation's grand total. As the name suggest, this discount can only be set as a fixed discount on a total amount, e.g. $20 off $200.  To do this you need to create or select an existing fixed extra fee to assign to the discount.  This fee would generally be setup with a negative amount.   For more information on Extra Fees, see the article below:

This discount can be limited to:
  1. Location
  2. Web or Agent available, e.g. able to be selected when booking online or through an agent
  3. Category and Vehicle Category Type
  4. Bookings that are over or under a certain amount of days
  5. Bookings that occur between a certain date range
  6. Bookings created within a certain date range
Note that this discount can also be applied to bookings made within RCM:
