# Managing Categories and Subcategories in Loopit

## **Summary**

Categories and subcategories enable you to structure your fleet for better customer interaction and operational efficiency. With top-level categories representing broader groupings, and subcategories offering more specific divisions, you can set up a clear structure for pricing and booking.

## **How to Create Categories and Subcategories**

1. Navigate to **Settings > Categories**.
2. Create a new top-level category by clicking **Add Category**.
   * Example: “Small Cars.”
3. To add a subcategory, select a parent category and click **Add Subcategory**.
   * Example: “New Small Cars” or “Used Small Cars.”

## **Pricing at Category Levels**

* Assign pricing to categories or subcategories to ensure consistency.
* Override pricing when needed for tailored offerings.

## **Example Scenario**

A fleet manager creates a “Supercars” category with subcategories for rental types. Specific vehicles are added by VIN, with customised booking rules (e.g., mandatory insurance and age restrictions).
