Q: How are After Hours and Unattended Drop off Fees Applied?

From the Web Site Locations screen you are able to set the flags “Allow After Hours” and “Allow Unattended Drop offs”. You are also able to assign a fee to both of these situations. Please see the following article for more information about setting these up; Web Locations 


The following table lists both if an out-of-hours booking is allowed and which fee is applied to a booking when the pickup or drop off time is outside of the office hours. It shows what happens for each combination of settings at the Web Location level:
