Pricing API

Calculate rental pricing breakdowns with discounts, seasonal rules, add-ons, and coupons.

The Pricing API calculates a complete pricing breakdown for a rental without creating a booking. Use it to preview costs at checkout.

Calculate Pricing

POST /v1/pricing/calculate

Body Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`fleet_item_id`	string	✅	Fleet item to price
`pickup_date`	string	✅	Pickup date (ISO 8601)
`return_date`	string	✅	Return date (ISO 8601)
`half_day`	boolean	—	Half-day rental (default auto-detected)
`pickup_location_id`	string (uuid)	—	Pickup location. Tax uses that location's own rate when it has one (`0` means no tax); otherwise the business rate. Omit for the business rate.

const pricing = await renta.pricing.calculate({
  fleet_item_id: 'fi_abc123',

  return_date: '2026-07-03T17:00:00Z',
  addons: [
    { addon_id: 'addon_helmet', quantity: 1 },
    { addon_id: 'addon_insurance', quantity: 1 },
  ],
  coupon_code: 'SUMMER20',
});

console.log(`Base price: $${(pricing.base_price / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Seasonal adjustment: $${(pricing.seasonal_adjustment / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Add-ons: $${(pricing.addon_total / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Coupon discount: -$${(pricing.coupon_discount / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Subtotal: $${(pricing.subtotal / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Tax: $${(pricing.tax / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Total: $${(pricing.total / 100).toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Deposit hold: $${(pricing.deposit_hold_amount / 100).toFixed(2)}`);

Pricing Pipeline

The pricing engine applies calculations in this order:

Base rate — price_half_day, price_full_day, or price_multi_day × days
Multi-day discount — Automatic discount for longer rentals (if configured)
Seasonal adjustment — Pricing rules with date ranges (dollar or percentage)
Add-on pricing — Per-item or per-day add-on costs
Package discount — Package bundle savings (if applicable)
Coupon validation — Percentage or fixed discount from coupon code
Tax calculation — Based on tenant's tax configuration
Renta fee — Platform transaction fee (based on subscription tier)

The pricing endpoint is read-only — it doesn't create or modify any records. Use it for checkout previews and price comparison UIs.

Rate Selection

Duration	Rate Used
< 1 day	`price_half_day`
1 day	`price_full_day`
2–6 days	`price_multi_day` × days (falls back to `price_full_day` if not set)
7+ days	`price_weekly` ÷ 7 × days (falls back to `price_multi_day` or `price_full_day`)

Half-day detection is automatic if the pickup-to-return window is ≤ 5 hours, or can be forced with half_day: true.

Pricing Rules

Manage seasonal and multi-day pricing rules that the pricing engine applies during calculation.
