The WooCommerce Rental & Bookings System (often referred to by its popular version RnB) is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to transform a standard WooCommerce store into a full-featured rental platform. It is widely used for car rentals, equipment hire, hotel bookings, and dress rentals.

To run the plugin smoothly, your server environment should meet these minimum standards:
WordPress Version: 6.4 or higher (Tested up to 6.9.0).
WooCommerce Version: 9.0 or higher (Tested up to 10.5.0).
PHP Version: 7.4 minimum (PHP 8.2+ recommended for performance).
CRON: WP-Cron must be enabled (to clear expired “in-cart” bookings).
Unlimited Bookable Products: Create as many rental items as needed.
Multiple Inventory Control: Manage local stock across different locations or branches.
Availability Blocking: Manually block specific dates/hours for maintenance, holidays, or private events.
Buffer Times: Automatically add “cooldown” periods between rentals (e.g., 2 hours for cleaning or 1 day for shipping).
The plugin supports complex pricing models beyond simple daily rates:
Hourly/Daily/Monthly Pricing: Set fixed or sliding scales.
Day Range Pricing: Offer discounts for longer durations (e.g., $50/day for 1-3 days, $40/day for 4+ days).
Seasonal Pricing: Increase rates during peak seasons (holidays, summer) and decrease during off-peak.
Distance-Based Pricing: Charge by kilometer or mile (ideal for vehicle rentals).
Booking Modes: Choose between “Days” (calendar date) or “Nights” (hotel style).
Minimum/Maximum Duration: Enforce rules like “minimum 2-day rental.”
Resource Allocation: Assign specific resources (drivers, cameras, tour guides) to products to prevent double-booking of personnel.
Security Deposits: Collect refundable deposits (fixed or percentage) during checkout.
Interactive Calendar: A mobile-friendly date picker that updates the price in real-time as users select dates.
Price Breakdown: Displays a clear itemization (Rental cost + Deposit + Taxes + Add-ons) before the user clicks “Book Now.”
Request a Quote: Option to disable direct checkout and allow users to request a custom price estimate first.
Local/Global Time Zones: Displays availability in the customer’s local time for virtual or shipped rentals.
Rental Dashboard: A centralized calendar view (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) to see all upcoming pickups and returns.
Order Filters: Quickly filter orders by “Pickup Date,” “Return Date,” or “Late Returns.”
PDF Invoices: Automatically generate rental-specific invoices with date ranges and terms of service.
