Setting Additional Rental Rates
If you would like to apply a different tax rate to an item for any reason (daily spe-
cial, discount, etc) you can create additional rental rates to use on your rental items. To
set these, go to Admin -> Rental Maintenance and select Rental Rates.
To make a new rate, select New Rental Rate at the top right. From here, you can
create new rules for your rental items that you can later apply when you ring the item in
for a customer. The rules are explained below, along with an example.
