How to price car detailing packages by vehicle size
A practical method for pricing car detailing packages: time each job by vehicle type, set an hourly target that covers your costs, and turn it into a menu customers understand.
BOATS, RVS AND SPECIALTY VEHICLES
Boat and RV detailing booking software, built around the vehicle.
A boat, an RV and a compact car are different jobs. Customers choose the vehicle first, so your prices, appointment lengths and quote questions match the work, whether you detail boats only or offer them alongside cars, trucks and motorcycles.
For US detailing businesses. Live use requires GoHighLevel. Demos use fictional data and create no real appointments.
HOW IT FITS TOGETHER
Price and plan the job around the vehicle in front of you.
Choose the vehicle type
Start from presets for cars, trucks, RVs and vans, boats and motorcycles, or create your own. Each business can offer up to 20 vehicle types.
Book or request a quote
Bookable services use the price and duration you set for that vehicle. For quoted work, ask for a measurement such as boat length in feet.
Follow up and schedule
Bookings go to your connected GHL calendar. Quote requests arrive in the Admin Hub, where staff record the quote and create the appointment.
01 / IN PRACTICE
Vehicle types you define
Price a service once, per vehicle type, or as up to 20 named options with their own prices and durations, such as length ranges for boats. The customer sees the options that apply to the vehicle they chose.
- Presets for boats, RVs and vans, trucks, motorcycles and cars.
- A duration for each vehicle type or option, so long jobs get enough time.
- Extras that add their own price and time to a booking.
02 / IN PRACTICE
Quote details for larger jobs
Each vehicle type can ask for one measurement on quote requests, with your own label, such as boat length in feet, and an optional or required setting. Quote services can show a starting price, including per square foot.
- Measurements are collected for staff review.
- Prices are not calculated automatically from a measurement.
- Starting prices can be automatic, custom or hidden.
03 / IN PRACTICE
At your shop or where it is stored
Offer shop appointments, mobile service or both. Mobile bookings collect the address where the vehicle is parked, and a configured travel buffer adds time around each mobile job.
- Address suggestions with manual entry always available.
- Travel buffers from 0 to 240 minutes.
- Describe the areas you serve on your public page.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Boat and RV detailing booking: common questions.
What the software supports and what you need for live use.
Can customers book boat detailing online?
Yes, for services with a configured price and duration for the boat type or option they choose. Services that need an assessment can be quote-required instead.
Can I price boat detailing by length?
You can offer named options, such as length ranges, each with its own price and duration. Quote requests can also collect the boat length. The software does not calculate a price from the length automatically.
Does it support RVs, trucks and motorcycles?
Yes. Vehicle types include presets for cars, trucks, RVs and vans, boats and motorcycles, and you can add custom vehicle types.
Can one booking page offer car and boat detailing?
Yes. One business can offer any mix of vehicle types and services on the same booking page, with direct booking and quote requests side by side.
