GoHighLevel Rentals Private Beta How-To Guide
This step-by-step guide explains how to configure the Rentals private beta feature inside GoHighLevel, using clear instructions similar to ClickUp-style how-to docs. You will learn how to enable the beta, create listings, set up availability, and manage bookings from start to finish.
The Rentals feature is currently in private beta and designed to support rental-based businesses, such as boat charters, equipment rentals, venues, and other time-based bookings. Follow each section carefully to ensure your account is configured properly and ready for live customers.
Overview of GoHighLevel Rentals Private Beta
The Rentals private beta in GoHighLevel introduces a specialized booking experience for inventory that can be rented for specific time slots or date ranges. It focuses on:
- Centralized management of rental listings
- Category-based organization of inventory
- Calendar and availability management
- Time-based booking logic and pricing fields
Because this feature is in private beta, functionality and interface labels may change. Always refer to the official documentation at the GoHighLevel Rentals guide for the latest updates.
How to Enable Rentals in GoHighLevel
Before you can use Rentals, it must be activated inside your GoHighLevel account. Access is limited during the private beta period.
Step 1: Confirm Access to the GoHighLevel Beta
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account with an admin or agency role.
- Navigate to the section where new beta features are usually exposed, such as the Labs or Beta Features area, if available for your account.
- Check that the Rentals private beta option is visible and enabled for your sub-account or agency.
If you do not see the Rentals option, you may need to request access or wait until the beta is expanded.
Step 2: Locate the Rentals Module in GoHighLevel
- Inside your chosen sub-account, open the main navigation menu.
- Look for a menu item related to Rentals, Inventory, or similar naming associated with the beta feature.
- Select the Rentals module to open the management interface where you will create listings and categories.
Once inside the module, you can start adding categories, rental items, and availability settings.
Set Up Categories in GoHighLevel Rentals
Categories help you organize your rental inventory and make it easier for end users to find what they need. Examples include boats, rooms, vehicles, or equipment types.
Step 3: Create Rental Categories
- In the Rentals interface, open the Categories section.
- Click the option to add a new category.
- Enter a clear, descriptive name (for example, “Pontoon Boats” or “Conference Rooms”).
- Add an internal description if needed to clarify what belongs in this category.
- Save the category.
Repeat this process until every primary type of rental inventory has its own category. This structure will later help when you create listings and filter availability.
Create Rental Listings in GoHighLevel
Listings represent individual items or units that can be rented. Each listing belongs to one category and can have its own pricing, images, and restrictions.
Step 4: Add a New Rental Listing
- Go to the Listings or equivalent section within the Rentals area.
- Click to create a new listing.
- Select the appropriate category from the dropdown (for example, the boat type or room type).
- Enter a descriptive listing name and any marketing description that will appear to customers.
- Upload relevant images, if supported in your version of the beta, such as product photos or location pictures.
- Specify essential attributes like capacity, location, and any special requirements.
- Save the listing.
Ensure each listing clearly explains what is included in the rental to minimize customer confusion and support requests.
Step 5: Configure Pricing and Duration Rules
- Open the listing you just created.
- Locate the section for pricing or rental rules.
- Enter the base price for the rental period (hourly, daily, or custom duration, depending on the beta options available).
- Configure additional fees or options if presented in the interface.
- Specify minimum and maximum rental durations or booking increments if the beta supports those controls.
- Save your changes.
Pricing rules define how the platform calculates charges when customers select dates and times for their rentals.
Set Calendar Availability in GoHighLevel Rentals
Availability determines when each rental asset can be booked. Proper calendar configuration is essential so users can only book valid dates and times.
Step 6: Define Global Availability (If Available)
- Check whether the Rentals module offers a global or default availability calendar.
- If it does, open the global calendar settings.
- Set standard open hours, closed days, and blackout periods when no rentals should be booked.
- Apply these global rules across applicable listings.
- Save your global calendar configuration.
Global availability simplifies management for businesses with consistent open hours across all rentals.
Step 7: Set Listing-Specific Availability
- Open an individual listing in the GoHighLevel Rentals area.
- Navigate to the calendar or availability tab associated with that listing.
- Configure specific time slots, open days, or date ranges when the asset can be rented.
- Add exceptions or blackout dates for maintenance, holidays, or special events.
- Save the availability settings for each listing.
Repeat this step for every high-value rental item to ensure accurate booking options.
Test the GoHighLevel Rentals Booking Experience
Before going live, it is important to test the booking flow exactly as a customer would see it.
Step 8: Preview the Customer Booking Flow
- Locate the booking or rental checkout page associated with your Rentals configuration.
- Open this page in an incognito or private browser window.
- Select a category and then choose a rental listing.
- Pick available dates and times from the calendar.
- Review pricing calculations and any add-ons or fees.
- Submit a test booking using test data.
Check that the booking confirms successfully and that the rental inventory is updated with the new reservation.
Step 9: Verify Booking Data in GoHighLevel
- Return to your GoHighLevel sub-account.
- Open the Rentals module or any connected pipeline or appointment section where rentals appear.
- Confirm that the test booking shows the correct listing, time slot, and contact information.
- Check internal notes or tags added by the Rentals workflow, if provided in the beta.
- Delete or cancel the test booking if it should not remain as a real reservation.
Validation ensures your configuration works as expected before you accept real customer transactions.
Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Rentals
- Keep category names simple and intuitive.
- Use detailed descriptions and images for each listing.
- Regularly update availability for seasonal or maintenance changes.
- Test the booking flow after any major configuration updates.
- Monitor the official GoHighLevel documentation for new beta features or changes.
