How to Make a Recurring Rental

GymDandy allows renters to make recurring rentals, that is, a rental occurring for more than one day. Recurring rentals are extremely useful if you need to book a shelter for every Monday for an entire month, or if you need the baseball diamond on the first Tuesday of every month for the entire summer. 

How to Make a Recurring Rental

1. To start making a recurring rental, begin by searching for the organization/facility/space type/date you would like to rent. Before you click search, click on RECURRING search. This will let you to set parameters for your recurring rental - what days of the week you would like, occurrence (daily, weekly, monthly), and ending dates (on a specific day or after a certain amount of weeks). For this example, I will be trying to rent the baseball diamond on every Saturday and Sunday for the next 3 weeks. Click Search to see facilities and spaces that match that criteria.
   
   
2. The search results will show all spaces that meet some of the criteria - they may not all be available for all dates, but will match some of the availability. On the search results page, you can hover over a space and you will see two options, Quick View & Book and View Times. If you choose to select View Times, you will see the times that the space is available as well as how many of the dates that are available with a 2 of 5, or 5 of 5, depending on how many dates are available.
