Kit composition rental
Kit composition is renting a bundle of components as a single unit: a SUP set = board + paddle + leash + life jacket. Software that supports kits tracks the availability of every component together.
Definition
Kit composition is a rental model where several inventory items are sold as one booking 'unit'. Typical examples: SUP set (board + paddle + leash + life jacket), dive set (wetsuit + tank + BCD + computer + light), kayak set (kayak + paddles + life jackets + dry bag). Each component has its own inventory and availability; the customer rents the kit as a whole.
How it works
Setup (in software that supports kits): define a kit as a template, e.g. 'Dive set M' = 1 wetsuit in size M, 1 tank, 1 BCD, 1 computer. Booking: customer picks kit + size + dates. The system reserves specific instances of every component (e.g. wetsuit M #12, tank #4). On return each component returns to availability independently. Kit availability = min(component availabilities): if no size-M wetsuit is free, the kit is unavailable regardless of tank stock.
Why it matters for a rental company
Without kit composition: either run a separate reservation per component (chaos at return) or pretend the kit is 'one vehicle' and manually track component availability (errors, overbooking). With kit composition: one click = full reservation, auto-calculated availability, single billing.
What OneRental does
In OneRental you set up a set as one fleet item with its own price, such as a SUP board, and put what goes out with it (paddle, leash, life jacket) on the equipment checklist for that type of gear. At pickup and return staff tick off each part, and a missing one is charged automatically. Small items, such as a dry bag, go on the booking as priced add-ons. Once you turn it on in your booking settings, staff can also put several items on one contract.
