Transportation Types

Transportation Types define the pick-up/drop-off methods available when recording a guest's transportation details on a reservation (e.g. Car, Van, Taxi). They populate the Transportation option list on the reservation form's Stay Information section.

Access​

Configuration → General Configuration → Transportation Types

Fields​

FieldRequiredDescription
CodeYesShort code for the transportation type (e.g. CAR). Automatically uppercased. Must be unique. Cannot be changed after creation.
DescriptionYesThe full name shown wherever the transportation type is selected (e.g. "Car").

Permissions​

Access is controlled by four separate permissions: View, Add, Edit, and Delete Transportation Type. Users without View permission see an access-denied message instead of the list.

Adding / Editing / Deleting​

  1. Click Add Transportation Type, enter a Code and Description, and save. The code is checked for duplicates before saving.
  2. To edit, click the edit icon on a row — the Code field is locked (read-only) for existing records; only Description can be changed.
  3. To delete, click the delete icon and confirm.

Bulk Import (Excel)​

Transportation types can be added in bulk instead of one at a time:

  1. Click Template to download an Excel template with code and description columns and a sample row.
  2. Fill in the template with your transportation types.
  3. Click Import Excel and select the completed file.
  4. Review the import preview — rows with problems (e.g. duplicate codes, missing fields) are flagged before anything is saved.
  5. Confirm the import to create the valid rows. A summary of how many rows succeeded/failed is shown afterward.

Common FAQs​

Why is the Code field locked when I edit an existing transportation type? Codes cannot be changed after creation to avoid breaking existing reservations that reference them. To use a different code, add a new transportation type and stop using the old one, or delete and re-create it if it is not yet in use.

Where do transportation types actually get used? On the reservation form, the Transportation section (revealed via "Add Transportation Info" under Stay Information) uses these types for both pick-up and drop-off selections. See Room & Stay Information.
