# Time Based

## What is the Time Based Rendering type

The **Time-Based** is a **Rendering Type** offering a model that allows vendors to provide bookable services for a specified duration, measured in hours or days. This rendering type is applicable when vendors offer accommodations, such as apartments, houses, or flats, or when providing experiences where pricing is based on the total booking period.

Charges are determined according to the duration of usage, ensuring that the cost aligns with the number of hours or days booked. This model can also be applied to the rental of other assets, including vehicles (e.g., cars, buses, motorcycles) and equipment, allowing vendors to structure their pricing based on time-based utilization.
