# Customizing Charge Pricing Across Packages, Categories, and Fleet

By default, all vehicle categories and fleet will inherit the standard value of any charge configured at the package level.

For example:\
If you create a charge called **"Child Seat"** at a value of **$10**, then any booking that adds a child seat — across any vehicle — will automatically apply the $10 fee.

However, Loopit also allows you to introduce **price overrides** at both the **category** and **fleet** levels.\
This means you can customize the standard pricing for specific vehicles or groups of vehicles.

For example:\
You might configure the **"Child Seat"** charge to **$20** for fleet associated with the **SUV** category, while all other vehicles continue to charge the standard **$10**.

This functionality provides significant flexibility to tailor your pricing strategy based on vehicle type, customer segments, or operational requirements.

## Common Use Cases for Price Overrides

### 1. Set Custom Excess Amounts by Fleet Type

**Scenario:**\
Luxury vehicles often require higher excess (deductible) amounts compared to economy models.

**How to configure:**

* **Create an Excess Charge Type:**\
  Add a new charge called **"Excess"** and set the charge type to **"Ad Hoc"**. This ensures it can be added only when needed.
* **Set a Default Value:**\
  Define a standard excess amount to be inherited across all vehicles.
* **Override the Value by Category or Fleet:**\
  From the **Price Overrides** tab in the package, update the excess charge specifically for luxury categories or specific fleet (e.g., setting SUVs at $2,000 excess while hatchbacks remain at $1,000).

### 2. Increase GPS Hire Fees for Premium Models

**Scenario:**\
Customers renting premium vehicles may expect higher-end GPS systems, justifying a higher hire fee.

**How to configure:**

* **Create a Charge:**\
  Add a charge called **"GPS Unit"** with a standard package value, e.g., **$15** per rental.
* **Override Pricing:**\
  Set the **GPS Unit** price to **$25** for fleet in the **Prestige** or **Premium** categories.

### 3. Offer Complimentary Child Seats for Family-Oriented Vehicles

**Scenario:**\
To boost appeal for family vehicles, you may want to waive the child seat fee.

**How to configure:**

* **Create the Child Seat Charge:**\
  Set the package-level value at **$10**.
* **Override Pricing:**\
  In the **Family** or **SUV** category, override the price to **$0**, making it a complimentary inclusion for those vehicles only.

### 4. Apply Different Fuel Refill Charges Based on Vehicle Size

**Scenario:**\
Larger vehicles like vans or SUVs consume more fuel, so a standard fuel refill fee may not accurately cover costs.

**How to configure:**

* **Create a Fuel Refill Charge:**\
  Add a charge called **"Fuel Refill Fee"** with a default package price, e.g., **$50**.
* **Override for Larger Vehicles:**\
  Increase the refill fee to **$80** for fleet in the **Van**, **SUV**, or **Commercial** categories.
