Location Hours
Purpose
Standard working hours applicable for your locations are maintained in the Web Locations area in the Web Site Interface menu.
Sometimes however, there are cases that necessitate opening a location beyond its normal operating hours, e.g. extra demand for your rental cars particularly during a busy period, or simply just different opening hours for the days of the week. In these cases, you can extend working hours for a location through the Location Hours tab in System Setup.
You can set up extended working hours for all locations or a specific location.
Accessing Location Hours
The location hours tab can be found under the locations submenu in the System Setup.
System Setup > Locations > Location Hours
