🔄 How to Change a Customer’s Trailer

Learn the proper steps for managing a customer who is changing the trailer they have rented.

  1. 📅 Go to the Calendars tab
    Navigate to Calendars and make sure you are viewing Rentals.

  2. 👤 Find the customer’s booking
    Locate the customer’s appointment, open it, and click the pencil icon to edit.

  3. Cancel the current booking
    Cancel the booking under the trailer the customer no longer wants.

  4. Wait 5 minutes before rebooking
    Give the system at least 5 minutes to properly process the cancellation before creating the new appointment.
    This helps prevent workflow, payment, or tag issues.

  5. Create the new booking
    Click New, select the same customer, choose the correct trailer, use the same rental dates/times, and create the booking.

  6. 💳 If the customer has NOT paid yet
    You’re done. The customer can simply pay the new invoice when ready.

  7. 💰 If the customer already paid and the new trailer costs more
    Go to Payments → Invoices & Estimates, find the new invoice, and click three dots → Edit in new tab.
    Adjust the pricing difference, then:

    • Click three dots → Record Payment

    • Select Charge Card

    • Charge the saved card on file for the difference

  8. 💸 If the customer already paid and the new trailer costs less
    Go to Payments → Transactions, find the original payment, then:

    • Click three dots → Refund

    • Enter the refund amount (including tax if applicable)

    • Add a note such as Difference in Price – Changed Trailer

  9. 🏷️ Re-add the T&C tag only if needed
    Canceling a rental will automatically remove the T&C tag from the customer profile.
    If the customer had already completed the rental agreement before changing trailers, go to Contacts, open their profile, and manually re-add the T&C tag.
    If they had not completed the rental agreement yet, do not add it back.

💡 Pro Tip
Any time you cancel and recreate a rental, always double-check customer tags and payment status before finishing. This helps ensure automations, agreements, and reminders continue working correctly.
