Rates - Zoned Company
Zone rates are where all the flat (zoned) rates are stored. Typically people use “standard” rates here (usually based on vehicle type), and if company has a discount, that can be handled by auto-applying a discount.
However, sometimes it is the case that you want to have a special rate for a particular client—and you don’t want to show any discount, but just show the special rate. (Maybe the “special” rate is higher than your standard rate.) While this could be handled with a rate agreement, there is an easier, faster way.
You begin by bringing up the zone profile you want to work with, and selecting the city pair for which you want to enter the special rate. In the below example, we’ve selected Main Line Area West to/from JFK. Notice that just under the “Transfer” button that you click on to enter a standard rate, there is a button labeled “Company Transfer”.

If you have never clicked it before, when you do, you will be greeted with a nearly blank screen—since there are no rate overrides.
Once there, click on the “Add” button in the lower left corner, and select the company for which you want to add the override rate, change the rate (and any other numbers you want to make different from standard), and the click on Save.
Once done, when a client from that company books, the new rate will automatically be entered.
