Areas

To access Areas, go to Catalog in the sidebar and select the Areas tab.

Areas are notable locations that your transfer company wants to highlight. They serve two purposes:

1. Pricing rules - Areas can be attached to price lists to apply special pricing for routes to or from specific locations
2. Booking form display - Areas can appear as selectable options in the booking form address picker, making it easier for customers to select common destinations

Understanding Areas

Unlike the address autocomplete which lets customers type any address, Areas are predefined locations you define by drawing zones on a map. When a customer’s pickup or drop-off falls within an Area, you can apply specific pricing rules through your Price Lists.

Common use cases:

• Airports, ports, or ferry terminals
• Hotels, resorts
• City centers with zone-based pricing

Tip

Areas are different from Availability Zones. While Areas define locations for pricing, Availability Zones define where transfer services are offered. A transfer company typically has fewer Availability Zones than Areas.

Creating an Area

1. Use the Search field to find your location on the map

2. Click Draw Zone to enter drawing mode

3. Click on the map to place polygon points around your area

4. Double-click to complete the polygon

5. Fill in the area details in the dialog that appears and press Save

Deleting an Area

1. Find the area in the table below the map

2. Click the Actions menu (three dots) in the row

3. Select Delete and confirm

Danger

Deleting an area will also delete all associated pricing rules in your price lists.

Reference

Field	Description
Main text	The primary name for this area (e.g., “Athens International Airport”). This appears in the booking form when the area is shown as a selectable option.
Secondary text	Additional descriptive text (e.g., “Eleftherios Venizelos”). Helps customers identify the location.
Type	Categorize the area: Airport, Port, Hotel / Lodging, or Other. This helps organize areas and may affect how they’re displayed.
Show in booking form?	When enabled, this area appears as a selectable option in the booking form address picker. Customers can select it directly instead of typing an address.

Area Types

Type	Description
Airport	International or domestic airports
Port	Ferry terminals, cruise ports, marinas
Hotel / Lodging	Hotels, resorts, vacation rental areas

How Areas Connect to Pricing

Areas are used in Price Lists to define route-based pricing. For example:

• Airport → City Center: €45 flat rate
• City Center → Airport: €65 flat rate

When a customer books a transfer and their pickup or drop-off location falls within a defined Area, the corresponding pricing rule is applied.

Tips

Naming Areas

If you’re showing the area on the booking form, you should use clear names that customers will understand. Furthermore, we calculate the routes based on the area name, so avoid using vague names that don’t correspond to real-world locations.

• Good: “Athens International Airport”, “Piraeus Port”, “Glyfada Beach Hotels”
• Avoid: “Zone A”, “Area 1”, or internal codes

Area Size

• Draw areas that are large enough to capture all relevant pickup/drop-off points
• For airports, include terminal access roads and nearby hotels
• For hotel districts, cover the entire area where properties are located

Booking Form Display

Enable “Show in booking form” for locations that customers frequently search for. This saves them time and ensures accurate location selection. You might enable it for:

• Major airports and ports
• Hotel areas
