Revenue Splits

Purpose

When renting foreign vehicles (vehicles owned by another car rental agency), the revenue can be split among the renting, owning, and check-in locations. Setting up revenue split matrices allows you to pre-define how the revenue is split for the various combinations of one-way rentals. By setting up revenue split matrices in advance of a rental involving a foreign vehicle, the system can automatically apply the splits when the Daily Business Report is generated.

If you do not rent foreign vehicles, it is not necessary to enter data into this table.
