# Activating a Booking

An activated booking represents an asset being taken out. You would typically activate the booking at the time of handover or prior to delivery. 

To activate a booking, navigate to a booking that is in the **Confirmed** state and click on **Activate.**

Upon clicking the Activate button, Loopit will present a summary screen to provide you with an overview of the entire booking. Items that are missing (such as driver's licence if required) are flagged.

On the left hand side of the screen is a timeline of what will happen and when charges will occur.

Once you are happy, click **Activate** in the top right corner.

The booking will be activated, payment taken and you will be redirected to the Booking Overview screen. Here you can see details of the booking.

Clicking on the **Billing** tab will display the invoices and payments associated to this booking.
