 Feature announcement: Calendar - No Pick-up/Return

If you've been a host on Outdoorsy even for a short while you should be familiar with the standard options you have on your Outdoorsy calendar. Before today owners could select two different statuses to block their calendars:

• Available: allows owners to make their vehicles available for reservations
  • The vehicle is available for a reservation that day
  • The vehicle can be picked up or returned that day
  • The owner can deliver the vehicle that day (if applicable)

• Unavailable: allows owners to make their vehicles unavailable for reservations
  • The vehicle cannot be reserved that day
  • A reservation cannot pass through that day
  • The vehicle cannot be picked up or returned that day
  • The vehicle cannot be delivered that day (if applicable)

We're excited to share that there will be another option added to your Outdoorsy calendar!

No Pick-up / Return

This option allows renters to reserve the owners vehicle, however, it does not allow the renter's trip to depart or return on that date. This status indicates:

• The vehicle is available for a reservation that day
• The vehicle cannot be picked up or returned that day
• The owner will not deliver the vehicle that day (if applicable)

This option will allow owners to set their availability during a rental. They may be traveling at that time, they may not want to work on Sundays, or it may be a holiday on which they do not want to deal with their RV (e.g. Christmas, Fourth of July, etc.). For whatever reason, owners can now choose to disallow their vehicle to be picked up or returned on a specific date(s).

If a renter chooses dates that surround the "No Pick-up /Return" dates, the vehicle will be available for the reservation. This allows the owner's vehicle to appear in more searches!
