Create a Motorbike Rental Website with Multiple Engine Capacities

In this article, we will cover one of the popular online booking scenarios – Online Motorbike Rental. We will check out how you can set up an Online Motor Bike Rental scenario with the help of WooCommerce Bookings and Appointments plugin.


Online Motor Bike Rental

Steven’s is planning to provide online motorbike rentals with the following requirement. According to Steven,

Hello. I am planning to provide an online guided motorbike rental. I have 5 motorbikes, 

  • 4 X 1200cc
  • 1 X 800cc

I want to provide the rental only on weekends. And it’s for only 1 – 5 people. 

We wanted the ability to select a “preferred” engine size during checkout. So while booking there would be an option to choose between 1200cc or 800cc engine. However, if a single person has already booked the 800cc, that shouldn’t be available to choose for others.


Plugin Features Used

It is clear from the scenario that Steven can easily set this up using WooCommerce Bookings and Appointments plugin. He can make use of the following features to set up his scenario:

Booking Slots & Availability

Based on Steven’s scenario, he can set up a product for Online MotorBike Rental. One Day slot every weekend, where customers can select a max of 4 bookings for 1200 cc and 1 booking for 800 cc at a time.

Booking Participants

Steven provides rentals for up to 5 bikes per booking. He can set up Booking Participants where his customers can easily enter the number of people they want to book Bikes for. He can also make sure to charge for each bike booking by enabling Consider Each Participant as Separate Booking.

Assets for Engine Types

When it comes to Online MotorBike Rental, Steven has two types of Engines – 1200 cc and 800 cc. Based on the customer choice they can select a particular Bike depending upon the Engine Capacity and set dedicated Booking assets for each one of them and make sure their bookings are separate from each other.
