Yes. They can also specify different configuration/set up requirements for each facility in the booking.

Do I get a custom web page with a direct URL? What can I customize?

Yes, you do. You can change your messaging, logo, colors, slideshow, featured facilities and more.

Who provides liability insurance?

Facility owners define their insurance requirements. After that, the renter will need to add you to their existing liability coverage and add the proof of insurance to the booking request. Alternatively, a renter can purchase insurance through our preferred insurance provider (Southwest Insurance Brokers) under a policy already issues based on your requirements. This option simplifies and streamlines the booking process, particularly for smaller organizations, who don't have wherewithal to deal with this complexity.

Can I modify the booking once it’s been submitted?

Yes. A facility owner can modify virtually any aspect of the order at any time - before it’s been approved of even after. Some changes may result in different charges and dates of use and require approval of the renter. The record of renter approvals (or disapprovals) is permanently kept with the booking record history.
