Hello,
There is a configuration setting in the back-end Configuration page of VikRentCar called 'Days in Advance for bookings'. Just set it to 1 day in your case.

Best,
Marco

Hi Roman,
you should install the Dejavusans font for the PDF generation. Please visit the section 'PDF Troubleshooting' of the Documentations page of VikRentCar to see where you should upload the font files onto your server.
Some characters of some languages are not compatible with the default font Helvetica which is a light-weight font. The Dejavusans is too heavy for the component installer so the files should be uploaded manually.

Hi,
644 should be enough for any files permissions because the system only needs to be able to read those files.
I believe the problem is with the ownership of those files if they were moved from a different server. Rather than setting different permissions (chmod), you should set a different owner (chown). Maybe www-data will fix the problem. Otherwise you should download those files via FTP, remove them from the server and re-upload them so that the owner will be the FTP user which should belong to a Group that won't cause you problems via PHP.

Hi,
That's probably an issue with the files permissions. Try to change the permissions to the whole folder /resources via FTP and everything should work fine again.
That folder and all its files should be set to at least 0644 but if the owner of the files is different for your new server then you should set those permissions to 0755.

Hello,
It is possible to filter the vehicles by Group or Category in the Cars List view but only one filter is accepted. Unfortunately it is not possible to show the cars of two different categories in the same page because that filter doesn't accept multiple values.

Hi,
That's up to you. You can decide to build the payment gateway on your own by following our Documentation and the one of PayU or you can buy it from our website, Payments section.
If you wanted to write the integration by yourself then you would have to create a PHP file like the one that you find pre-installed for PayPal.

Hi,
VikRentCar can be used as "cotizador", meaning as a "Quotation only". You would simply need to disable all the payment options from the back-end or rename one that is not connected to any bank gateway (like the Bank Transfer) into something like "Get a Quotation".
However, it is not possible to upload vehicles from the front-end because multiple-vendors are not supported (only multiple locations/offices are supported) and all the management functions are available in the back-end only.

Hi,
For the moment the Special Prices are applied in a "silent" mode only. This means that the prices of the vehicles will change on those dates but the users will not notice anything. It's like those dates have a different cost, higher or lower.
In the next version of the program we will add the possibility of applying the Special Prices in a "verbose" mode meaning that a text will be displayed next to each vehicle affected by the Special Price in the search results. This will be useful to display promotions or similar offers.

@Konstantinos: thanks for the comment. We will report this to our programmers that will consider it for the next version of the extension.

Hi,
The Token is a security measure taken by the extension to prevent spam reservations. It shouldn't give you that error unless you open multiple windows of the booking confirmation page but if for some reason, your server configuration causes issue with the security token then you can disable it from the Configuration page of VikRentCar.

Hello,
You should try to empty the cache folder used for the generation of the PDF files:
/home/xxxx/public_html/xxxxx/components/com_vikrentcar/helpers/tcpdf/cache/
That error message could be a "disk full" warning as well so you should make sure that you still have space on your server.
