The Rental Class Maintenance program allows you to add, update, delete, and clone Rental Classes. A Rental Class allows you to set up information for a group of rental items that share like information. Rental Class allows you to ask questions of the renter during the rental reservations process for a particular Rental Item, recalculate early or late rental item return fees, link default rental Start (begin) and Complete (end) times, etc....
Rental Classes must be created in your database before you can set up individual Rental Items. Rental Classes are linked to Rental Items on the Core panel of Rental Item Maintenance.
