# Set Up Your Fleetwire Calendar for Seamless Vehicle Availability


# 📅 Master Your Fleetwire Calendar for Flawless Bookings!

Your rental business thrives on availability, and **Fleetwire**’s calendar is your go-to tool for managing when vehicles are ready to roll! Each listing has its own calendar where you can block off unavailability, ensuring customers book at the right times. Plus, the dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view of all listings’ availability. Let’s set up your calendars to keep your rentals running smoothly!

## 🎯 Why Set Up Your Calendar?

A well-managed calendar in Fleetwire helps you:

* **Control Per-Listing Availability**: Block off dates for each vehicle to match your schedule.
* **Prevent Overbooking**: Mark vehicles as unavailable during maintenance, holidays, or downtime.
* **Streamline Bookings**: Set rental duration rules to align with your policies.
* **Sync with Customers**: Display accurate availability in your [Fleetwire-hosted shop](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/dashboard).

|| **Note**: Your calendar relies on your timezone settings. Ensure your timezone is correct in [Date and Time Settings](/en/article/adjusting-date-and-time-settings-1009a92/) to avoid booking mismatches.

||| **Note**: **Operational status** does not update availability; it's to label this vehicle for filtering and reporting (e.g. Maintenance, For sale). Whether it is available or rented is determined by your bookings, live status and/or unavailability, not this field.

## 🛠 How to Configure Your Calendar

Fleetwire lets you manage availability on a per-listing basis, with a dashboard view to see everything at once. Follow these steps to set up unavailability for your vehicles.

### Step 1: Access a Listing’s Calendar

1. In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to [Listings](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/listings/).
2. Select a vehicle to open its details page.
3. Click the **Calendar** tab to view the listing’s calendar.

| **Pro Tip**: Use the [Calendar dashboard](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/calendar/) to see availability for all listings at once, helping you spot gaps or overlaps.

### Step 2: Block Off Unavailability

Set specific dates when the vehicle is unavailable, such as for maintenance or personal use.

1. On the listing’s calendar page, find the **Unavailability** section.
2. Click **Add Unavailable Dates**.
3. Select a **Date Range** or single day to block (e.g., `2025-12-24` to `2025-12-25` for Christmas).
4. Click **Save** to mark the vehicle as unavailable for that period.



||| **Warning**: Blocked dates prevent bookings on this listing, even if other vehicles are available. Double-check your dates to avoid accidentally blocking peak rental periods.
---

### Step 3: Set Rental Duration Rules

Control how long customers can rent this vehicle to match your business model.

1. On the same listing page, go to the **Settings** tab.
2. In the **Rental Duration** section, set:
* **Minimum Rental Period**: E.g., `1 day` to prevent short rentals. The default is Any.
* **Maximum Rental Period**: E.g., `30 days` to limit long-term bookings. The default is Any.
3. Click **Update** to save the rules for this listing.

| **Quick Tip**: For high-demand vehicles, set shorter max durations to maximize turnover and revenue.
