How to Set Up and Update Static Availability

Learn to establish and maintain static availability settings effectively for improved service reliability.

Overview

Static availability limits how many reservations you can receive from OTAs per day for a specific car class. It is optional and only applies if you choose to set it up.

Use it when you want to cap OTA bookings for a car class, for example, to hold inventory for direct or walk-in customers.

Create a new static availability

  1. Select Net Availability.
  2. Select Configure.

  1. Select the + icon in the top right corner.

  1. Fill in the following fields:
    • Car class: the car class the limit applies to.
    • Daily reservation limit: the maximum number of OTA reservations allowed per day for that class.
    • Start date: the date the limit takes effect.
    • End date (optional): the date the limit stops. Leave blank to keep it running with no end date.
    • Notification email: the address that receives alerts about this configuration.
    • Blackouts enabled: turn this on in most cases.
    • Email notifications enabled: turn this on if you want to receive email alerts.
  2. Select Save.
