You can offer your customers the option of booking a shuttle service (or a guided tour by car) from the nearest station or airport in addition to their room:
In the Main Menu, click on Offers
On the Your Main Offers page, click on Add an Option
From the option types available, choose Shuttle
Name your option: give it a commercial name that will appeal to your customer on the booking engine. In the example below, we have named our option "Arrive directly from the train"
Click on Create
As this is a shuttle service, you can specify whether it is available at Any Time of Day or only at Fixed Times. For the purposes of this example, we'll take this case by setting the first timetable at 10:30 and the second at 14:30
To do this, in Sessions, click on Fixed times and then Save
Click on Add a timetable to enter the first timetable, then click again on the Add a timetable button to add other timetables
You must then determine the maximum sales capacity per day: this indication (expressed in sessions) will set a sales limit on your booking engine
Thenclick on the Article tab and write a short description of your option, which will be displayed on your booking engine(add one or more foreign versions if you wish)
Click on the Photos tab to add at least one photo to your option (See how to add photos to your offers)
Once you have completed the commercial description of your option, click on the Standard Price tab to enter your base fare
The Standard Price tab opens with the current price calendar
You can set the price per person (so you'll need to enter a different price for different age groups) or per package (the price will be the same for all your customers, whatever their age)
For the purposes of this example, we've decided to set prices per person, taking care to offer the shuttle (€0 price) for children under 4
You can also set price restrictions and special sales and cancellation conditions
Once you have entered all this information, don't forget toSave the page before leaving it
For your option to be available in the booking engine, don't forget toopen its availability in the Schedule: click on the View Schedule button or via the Main Menu, by clicking on Schedule and selecting the option of your choice
Once you are in the Schedule, you can quickly modify the availabilities for one or all of your shuttle's timetables
This is how the options appear on your booking engine:
Note:
You can make your option a Special Offer (e.g. Shuttle + Guide to the Region) or a Promotion (e.g. Free Shuttle for all Children)
You can set prices per season for each of your options, but you can also set prices on a day-to-day basis or for given periods by entering them directly in the Schedule.
Once you've created your option, if you've set up one or more booking engines with a specific selection of offers, make sure you add the option so that it's available to your customers.
