Proper interpretation of room rates.
A friend of mine has a place that he is renting out at $750 a week, or $125 per day.
If someone rents 2 weeks, it's clearly $1500. If someone rents 2 days, it's clearly $250. If someone rents for 11 days, should it be $750 + 4*$125, or should it be 11/7 * $750? -RMJ |

Re: Proper interpretation of room rates.
This is a decent question. I think the charge should probably be (11/7) * $750. It sort of depends on why he's offering a discount for full week rentals.
If it's because it's kind of a hassle to arrange a rental period, so longer rentals save him time arranging more rentals, then the full 11 days should be at the lower rate. If it's because it's at a vacation type destination, where many/most customers are going to stay for exactly one week, and tehrefore having a place available for only half of a week means that the place will probably stay empty... that would be an argument for charging $750 + 4 * $125. |

Re: Proper interpretation of room rates.
750 * 11/7 is the right answer.
The idea is simply that the discount is for people that are staying extended amounts of time. Why would you charge them more for those 4 extra days? The only exception might be if certain days of the week are higher in demand than others or if a typical "rental period" is for one week. That is, if renting out the place for those 4 days would cause him to lose out on renting it out for a full week from someone else. |

Re: Proper interpretation of room rates.
Maybe he should make his terms easier to understand?
For example Renting less than 7 days = X per day Renting 7 or more days = Y per day |

He is mainly interested in what the typical person would expect to be charged for a booking of 11 days given that the rates quoted did not have any additional clarification. -RMJ |

Re: Proper interpretation of room rates.
Are two sets of weekends included during the 11 days?
