All special pricing rules are applied on the cars base costs as a cumulative charge or discount even in case of multiple rules applied on the same rental dates. This algorithm follows the OpenTravel (OTA) standards, and here is an example of how two special pricing rules are typically applied on the bases costs to obtain the final price:<br/><br/><ul><li>Car base cost = 80/day</li><li>Reservation for 3 days</li><li>One Special Price sets a charge of 20/day to obtain a cost of 100/day</li><li>One Last-Minute promotion applies a 10% off</li></ul><br/><strong>Calculation of final price</strong><br/><ul><li>1st day (80 + 20 - 8) = 92</li><li>2nd day (80 + 20 - 8) = 92</li><li>3rd day (80 + 20 - 8) = 92</li><li><u>Final price</u> 92 * 3 = 276</li></ul><br/>With this default calculation method, the 10% off promotion has been applied cumulatively on the car base cost for each day affected.<br/>If the parameter <i>Apply on cars final cost</i> was enabled, the calculation would be performed with the following method:<br/><ul><li>1st day (80 + 20) = 100</li><li>2nd day (80 + 20) = 100</li><li>3rd day (80 + 20) = 100</li><li><u>Final price before promotion</u> 100 * 3 = 300</li><li><u>Promotion applied on final cost</u> 300 - 10% = 270</li></ul><br/>You should choose the calculation method that best fits your needs. Applying promotions on the final price for specific dates is usually more handy, but you can choose to adopt the default calculation method like for all the other special pricing rules.
