Understanding GoHighLevel's Rentals Feature

GoHighLevel's Rentals module is built specifically for agencies and businesses that need to manage bookable assets. Unlike generic calendar tools or third-party booking platforms, Rentals integrates directly into your GHL account, meaning customer data, payments, and communication all live in one ecosystem. This eliminates data silos and gives you complete visibility into your rental operations.

The feature supports multiple asset types—residential properties, vacation homes, cars, equipment, and more. You can manage unlimited rental listings, set dynamic pricing, handle customer bookings, process payments, and even customize your customer-facing booking pages. For agencies managing rentals on behalf of clients, this is a game-changer because you reduce platform overhead while delivering professional results.

The Rentals feature includes:

• Multi-listing management – create and manage unlimited rental properties or assets
• Availability calendars – block dates, set blackout periods, and manage booking windows
• Flexible pricing – per-night rates, weekly discounts, and seasonal pricing adjustments
• Deposit and payment collection – collect upfront deposits or full payments via integrated payment gateways
• Branded booking pages – white-label the booking experience with your branding
• Customer management – all booking inquiries and customer data in one CRM

Creating and Configuring Rental Listings

Before you can accept bookings, you need to set up your rental listings. Here's how to create your first rental asset in GoHighLevel:

Step 1: Navigate to the Rentals Module
From your GHL dashboard, go to Businesses (or the relevant business) and select Rentals from the left navigation menu. Click New Rental or Add Listing to begin.

Step 2: Fill in Basic Listing Information
You'll see a form requesting:

• Rental name – descriptive title (e.g., "Beachfront Villa, Miami")
• Description – detailed overview of amenities, features, and house rules
• Location/address – full property address
• Guest capacity – maximum occupancy
• Bedroom and bathroom count – if applicable
• Upload images – add high-quality photos of your rental

Step 3: Add Amenities and Features
GoHighLevel allows you to list amenities (Wi-Fi, pool, parking, etc.) that help customers decide. Add 5–10 key features that differentiate your rental.

Step 4: Save and Publish
Once your listing is complete, save it. You can keep it in draft mode while you configure pricing and availability, then publish when ready.

Setting Up Pricing, Availability, and Calendars

Pricing and availability management is where GoHighLevel's Rentals really shine. Improper setup here will either cost you bookings or leave money on the table.

Configure Base Pricing
In your rental listing settings, define your base nightly rate. GoHighLevel allows you to set:

• Nightly rate – standard price per night
• Weekly discount – percentage or fixed discount for 7+ nights
• Monthly discount – additional incentive for 28+ night bookings
• Cleaning fee – flat fee added to every booking
• Service fees – additional charges (e.g., pet fee, additional guest fee)

Manage Your Rental Calendar
The calendar view is your command center for availability. Click on individual dates or date ranges to:

• Block dates – mark dates unavailable for booking
• Set blackout periods – block extended periods for maintenance or personal use
• Apply seasonal pricing – adjust rates for peak seasons (holidays, summer, etc.)
• View existing bookings – see confirmed reservations at a glance

Minimum Stay Requirements
You can enforce minimum night stays—useful if you want to avoid short-term bookings. Set this in your listing settings (e.g., 2-night minimum, 3-night minimum during peak season).

Enabling Deposits and Payment Processing

Collecting payment upfront protects your business and reduces no-shows. GoHighLevel integrates with major payment processors to handle this seamlessly.

Connect Your Payment Gateway
Navigate to Settings → Payment Integrations and connect:

• Stripe – most popular option for online payments
• PayPal – alternative payment gateway
• Square – if you prefer Square's processing

Once connected, your payment gateway is ready to process bookings.

Configure Deposit Requirements
In your rental listing settings, specify:

• Deposit amount – fixed dollar amount or percentage of total booking cost
• Deposit timing – require deposit at booking time or later
• Full payment option – allow customers to pay in full at booking or require balance later

Example: You could require a 30% deposit at booking and the remaining 70% due 7 days before check-in. This gives customers flexibility while protecting your revenue.

Automate Payment Reminders
GoHighLevel can automatically send payment reminders to customers with outstanding balances. This reduces follow-up work and ensures cash flow.

Branding Your Rental Booking Page

Your booking page is the customer's first impression. Make it professional and on-brand.

Access Booking Page Settings
In your rental listing, click Booking Page or Customize Booking Link. You can:

• Add your logo – upload your company logo to the booking page header
• Customize colors – match your brand's primary and accent colors
• Edit button text – change "Book Now" to custom CTAs like "Reserve Your Stay"
• Enable/disable features – choose which information appears (reviews, pricing breakdown, etc.)
• Add custom instructions – include house rules, check-in instructions, or special notes

Generate a Custom Booking Link
GoHighLevel generates a unique booking URL for each rental. You can customize the slug (e.g., yourdomain.com/beachfront-villa) to make it more memorable and SEO-friendly.

Managing Customer Bookings and Operations

Once bookings start coming in, GoHighLevel centralizes everything in your CRM and keeps you organized.

View and Confirm Bookings
All booking requests appear in your Bookings or Rentals section. You'll see:

• Customer name and contact information
• Check-in and check-out dates
• Total booking cost and payment status
• Special requests or notes from the customer

Confirm or Decline Bookings
Review each booking request and manually confirm or decline. Alternatively, you can set up auto-confirmation to approve bookings instantly when payment clears (recommended for reducing friction).

Automate Pre- and Post-Booking Communication
Use GoHighLevel's automation builder to send:

• Booking confirmation – sent immediately after payment
• Check-in instructions – sent 24–48 hours before arrival
• Welcome message – sent on check-in day
• Post-stay survey – collect feedback after checkout

This keeps customers informed without manual effort and improves satisfaction.

Track Payments and Invoices
Your dashboard shows payment status for each booking. You can generate invoices, track revenue by property, and monitor cash flow—all without leaving GoHighLevel.
