# Creating a booking

Bookings are used to manage all your asset reservations.

In Loopit, a booking has six stages:

* **Quote**
* **Requested**
* **Confirmed**
* **Activated**
* **Ended**
* **Cancelled**

<table><thead><tr><th width="264">Stage</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Quote</strong></td><td>Bookings which have been started or partially completed but not confirmed by your business. This includes leads / dropped leads or quotes which you have created and sent to prospective customers.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Confirmed</strong></td><td>Confirmed bookings are accepted bookings by your business. This means that you are expecting them to pick up the vehicle on the pickup date, time and location.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Activated</strong></td><td>These are bookings which have had customers pick up the vehicle and are currently out with the customer.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Ended</strong></td><td>Ended bookings are completed bookings which have been returned.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Cancelled</strong></td><td>Cancelled bookings are Confirmed bookings or Draft bookings or reservations which were never picked up by customers.</td></tr></tbody></table>
