Late Check-out settings – Basic

The first option is for you to choose if the booking of the late check-out will be available for the guests all the time, or only a few days before the check-out. If you choose the option of a few days before, you need as well to choose how many days before the check-out it will be visible to the guests.

Important: if there is a check-in the day of the guest’s check-out, the late check-out option won’t be visible to the guest at all.

Description

Add a description of the late check-out policy. Special rules or instructions should be inserted here as well.

After you add the description, don’t forget to translate it.

Time-frames

Add the different pricing by day and by time.

Important: You can override this pricing in each rental page if needed to custom the late check-our pricing for a specific rental.

The currency is determined by the default currency of the company. You can update the currency in the general settings tab.

You can add specific time frames with the price 0 (zero), if you wish the system to offer the late check-out option, when possible, with no additional costs. For example, the first hour after the standard check-out time can be set as free, and from the 2nd hour it will be with extra charge).

Upsell auto message

Set an automatic pre-scheduled message offering your guests the late check-out upsell.

You can set how many days before and at what time your guests will receive the auto message and if the message will be sent via the Duve chat or SMS (or both).
