No separate booking software.

In this tutorial, we’re walking through exactly how to set up a rental calendar in GoHighLevel from scratch — including enabling the feature, creating listings, configuring advanced pricing, embedding the booking page, and handling taxes. Watch the full tutorial here: GoHighLevel Rental Calendar Tutorial.

What Is the GoHighLevel Rental Calendar?

The GoHighLevel rental calendar is a beta feature that allows you to create and manage rental property or item listings directly inside a GHL sub-account. It includes:

• Listing management with images, descriptions, and pricing
• Category organization (e.g., beachfront, condos, vehicles)
• Inventory and variant tracking
• Seasonal pricing and duration-based discounts
• An embeddable booking page for any GHL website
• Payment collection via Stripe or PayPal
• Tax configuration through GHL’s product/payment system
• Automation support for reminders, cancellations, and follow-ups

How Do You Enable the Rental Calendar in GoHighLevel?

1. Go to your Agency View in GoHighLevel
2. Navigate to Sub-Accounts and click on the target account
3. Under Bulk Actions, select Setup Calendars
4. Toggle Rentals to ON
5. Type confirm and save

Note: This is a beta feature — if you’re not the agency owner, request activation from whoever manages agency-level settings.

How to Set Up Your First Rental Calendar Listing

Once enabled, go to Calendars → Calendar Settings → Rentals.

Step 1: Create Categories

Set up categories so renters can filter by type — Beachfront, Condo, Vehicle, Event Space. Go to Categories → Add, name it, and save.

Step 2: Add a New Listing

• Listing Name — the property or item name
• Images — upload multiple photos
• Description — describe what’s included
• Base Price — set per hour, day, week, or month
• Category — assign to the correct category
• Custom URL — create a clean slug (e.g., condo-1)
• Status — set to Active

Step 3: Configure Advanced Pricing

Under Advanced Settings → Inventory & Pricing:

• Inventory Tracking — manage multiple units of the same listing
• Variants — e.g., Ocean View vs. Garden View with different pricing
• Seasonal Pricing — date ranges with % or flat-rate adjustments
• Duration Discounts — % off for longer stays
• Quantity Discounts — discount for booking multiple units

Step 4: Set Booking Rules

• Minimum Duration — e.g., 4 days minimum stay
• Maximum Duration — e.g., 14 days max
• Minimum Scheduling Notice — e.g., 7 days advance notice
• Max Advance Booking Window — e.g., 360 days out
• Buffer Time — block time before/after each booking for cleaning

Step 5: Sync Existing Calendars (Optional)

Import an iCal feed to sync availability from Airbnb or VRBO and prevent double bookings.

How to Configure Global Rental Settings

• Business hours and time zone
• Auto-confirm bookings
• Multi-cart — allow renters to book multiple items in one checkout
• Booking page display (card view vs. list view)
• Custom consent checkboxes

How to Embed the Rental Booking Page on a GHL Website

1. Go to Rentals → Sharing Options → Embed Code and copy the snippet
2. Open your GHL website builder and go to the target page
3. Add a Custom HTML element
4. Paste the embed code and save

How to Accept Payments for Rental Bookings

• Set your preferred currency
• Connect Stripe or PayPal
• Enable Require Payment at Booking
• Turn on Security Deposits if needed

How to Add Taxes to Rental Bookings in GoHighLevel

1. Go to Payments → Products
2. Find the calendar product linked to your listing
3. Set Taxes included in purchase price to Yes
4. Click Attach Taxes and select or create your tax rate
5. Save — tax is now auto-calculated on every booking

Pro tip: Bake cleaning fees into the base price and disclose them in the listing description.

Setting Up Automations for Rental Bookings

• Booking confirmation — email/SMS triggered on booking
• Pre-arrival reminders — triggered X days before check-in
• Cancellation sequences — triggered on cancellation
• Post-stay follow-up — review requests and rebooking offers

Agency Opportunity: Offer Rental Calendar Setups as a Service

Rental businesses have historically needed separate tools like Lodgify, Hostaway, Checkfront, or Skedda. With GHL’s rental calendar, you can now offer a fully consolidated solution — booking, CRM, payments, follow-up automation, and website all in one platform. That’s a strong pitch for any rental business looking to cut their tech stack.
