recurring rate plans for yard billing
Recurring Rate Plans for Yard Billing
Manage account-specific recurring rates for storage, parking, equipment, and yard activity.
Direct definition
Recurring rate plans attach free days, daily storage rates, monthly parking rates, and customer-specific rules to yard activity, so charges like three free days followed by $25 a day are applied consistently instead of recalculated by hand.

FAQ
How do free days work in a rate plan?
A rate plan can define a set number of free days, like three, after which a daily rate such as $25 a day applies automatically based on the in/out record.
Can different customers have different rates for the same service?
Yes. Rate plans are attached per customer account, so one account can be on a $299 monthly parking plan while another is billed at a daily storage rate.
What's the difference between daily storage and monthly parking plans?
Daily storage plans charge per day once free time runs out. Monthly parking plans charge a flat recurring rate, such as $299 a month, regardless of daily dwell time.
Will I get alerted before free time runs out?
Yes. Per-diem and free-time alerts flag activity as an account approaches the end of its free days, so overage charges aren't discovered after the fact.
