Our nifty custom rates feature is a great way to earn more from popular hire periods and increase your bookings in the off-season. How do you use this feature to your advantage? Let's break it down for you.
How do I set my custom rates?
- Log in to your Goboony account
- Select ‘My Motorhomes’
- Select the listing you want to add custom rates for.
- Under ‘Conditions’, select ‘Pricing’
- Scroll down until you see ‘Custom Rates’ and select ‘Add a custom rate’
- Fill in the name, dates and daily rate, then save it.
You can set as many custom rates as you want! You can also amend or delete them at any point. Be careful not to increase your rates by too much and set them at a competitive rate, as travellers may choose a cheaper vehicle over yours.

For what days or periods could I set custom rates?
1. Bank holidays
One of the easiest ways to use the custom rate feature on Goboony is to earn more for bookings over bank holidays. Across the travel industry, rates for bank holidays will always be higher. This ensures that if a booking falls over the bank holiday, the rate will be higher for that day or the weekend.

2. School half-term
Another time that is often marked by increased rates is the school half-terms. A lot of families travel during the October and May half-term. You could set custom rates for the full length of the week, or just for the weekends, it's entirely up to you.

3. Festivals and events
Certain festivals and events can be visited in a motorhome, which is why we often see a lot of bookings for these dates.

4. Calendar gaps
You can use the custom rates feature to set a higher rate, but lowering your rates for certain days or periods can also be beneficial. For example, to fill open slots in your calendar, or to attract bookings during the low season.
