Rental Add-ons in GHL: Add More Value to Every Booking

Rental Add-ons give GoHighLevel users a simple way to offer extra options during a rental booking. You can create an add-on with a name, description, image, price, quantity limit, and tax settings, then attach it to one or more rental listings.

You can charge a flat amount or a percentage of the rental subtotal. Flat-rate add-ons can be charged once per booking or based on the booking unit, such as by the hour, day, week, or month. This gives you more control over how each extra is priced.

Customers will see available Rental Add-ons after they choose their dates. They can select what they want, adjust the quantity, and see the total update right away. Each add-on also appears as its own invoice line item, which keeps pricing clear and easy to understand.

Rental Add-ons can help you get more value from each booking without adding more work behind the scenes. Instead of creating separate listings or sending extra invoices, you can offer optional items during the normal booking process and let customers choose what they need.

This is useful for many types of rental businesses. A vehicle rental company could offer GPS or insurance. A property rental could add pet fees or extra services. An equipment rental business could offer accessories or protection plans. The setup is flexible enough to fit different business models.

For GHL users, the biggest benefit is simple management. You can create an add-on once, use it across several listings, and keep pricing clear for the customer. That means less manual work, fewer billing questions, and a smoother booking experience.

Setting up Rental Add-ons in GoHighLevel lets you offer optional extras on your rental bookings. You can create an add-on, set the price, control the quantity, assign it to listings, and choose whether customers can see it on the booking page.

• The New add-on window gives you control over the image, name, status, pricing, quantity, assigned listings, visibility, and tax settings.

3.1 Add an Add-on Image if needed.

• Use an image that makes the extra easy to recognize.
• This can be useful for equipment, upgrades, tours, or other visual add-ons.

3.2 Enter the Name of the add-on.

• Use a clear name that customers can understand.
• Examples include Pet Fee, GPS Unit, Equipment Insurance, or Guided Tour.

3.3 Choose the Status.

• Select Active when the add-on is ready to use.
• Select Inactive if you do not want it available yet.

3.4 Choose the Price type.

• Select Flat amount if you want to charge a set price.
• Select Percentage if you want the price based on the rental subtotal.

3.5 Choose how the flat amount will be charged.

• Per booking applies one fixed charge to the booking.
• Per booking unit charges the add-on for each rental period used by the listing.

For example, if the listing is rented by the day, a Per booking unit add-on can be charged for each day of the booking.

3.6 Set the Maximum quantity.

• This controls how many of the add-on a customer can select during one booking.

3.7 Select the Assigned listing(s).

• You can reuse the same Rental Add-on across several listings.

3.8 Choose whether to Hide this add-on from booking page.

• Leave this unchecked if customers should be able to select the add-on.
• Check it if the add-on should only be managed by an admin.

3.9 Review the Tax option.

• Tax cannot be configured until the add-on has been saved.
• You can return and edit the add-on afterward to set the tax rules.

3.10 Click Create add-on.

• You can also manage Rental Add-ons from inside each individual listing.

4.1 Click Listings from the Rentals menu.

• This opens all rental listings in your account.

4.2 Click the edit icon beside the listing you want to update.

• This opens the settings for that specific rental listing.

• Each listing has its own Add-ons area where you can attach or manage items from the global catalog.

5.1 Click Add-ons from the listing menu.

• This opens the add-ons currently attached to that listing.

5.2 Click + Add-ons to attach another existing add-on.

• This lets you select from the Rental Add-ons already created in your global catalog.

5.3 To update an attached add-on, click the edit icon beside it.

• You can review or change the add-on settings from here.

5.4 To remove an add-on from the listing, click the X icon.

• This removes it from that listing without deleting the add-on from the global catalog.

Once the Rental Add-on is attached and active, customers can see it during the booking process unless it has been hidden from the booking page. This gives you one place to manage optional extras while still controlling which listings can use them.

Rental Add-ons work best when the choices are simple and easy to understand. Use clear names, short descriptions, and images only when they help the customer know what they are getting. Too many options can make the booking page harder to use, so focus on extras that add real value.

Check your pricing before you publish each add-on. Per booking works well for one-time charges, while Per booking unit is better for extras that should follow the rental period. Also set a sensible maximum quantity so customers cannot select more than you can actually provide.

It is also a good idea to test the full booking flow before going live. Make sure each Rental Add-on appears on the right listings, updates the total correctly, and shows on the invoice as expected. If an add-on is only for your team to use, hide it from the booking page and manage it from the admin side.

Rental Add-ons can make each booking more useful without adding extra steps for your team. A rental business could offer a pet fee, equipment insurance, or a GPS unit in the same booking flow instead of sending separate invoices later.

That can save time and make the final price easier for customers to understand. They can see the extra cost before they confirm the booking, and each selected item appears clearly on the invoice.

For agencies using GHL with rental clients, this also makes the setup more complete. You can keep the booking, pricing, optional extras, and billing in one system while giving each client more control over how they sell add-ons.

Rental Add-ons make it easier to offer useful extras without adding more manual work. You can create them once, use them across several listings, control the price, set quantity limits, and keep each charge clear for the customer.

For rental businesses using GoHighLevel, this is a practical update that can make bookings easier to manage and more flexible. Start with one or two common extras, test the full booking flow, and make sure the pricing and invoice details look right before you roll it out.

If you are already using GHL Rentals, this is one update worth testing. What Rental Add-ons would make the most sense for your business?
