Hosts can easily manage all of their vehicles’ prices, availability, and trips in one place — the calendar in the “Trips” tab. Think of it as the central hub for managing your business.

When used correctly the calendar can be a powerful tool, especially for managing multiple vehicles. Scheduling tasks that used to take hours for some hosts can now be done in a matter of seconds thanks to the ability to make bulk changes across your portfolio.
