Action: OwnerRez - Pricelabs - Advanced Setup Min Rate, Base Rate, Max Rate
Module 8: Setting Up Dynamic Pricing (Pricelabs) and General Fee Policy
Minimum, base and maximum rates are the three anchors that frame every price PriceLabs sets. Calibrating them is best done after stay rules, discounts and fees are in place, using the PriceLabs pricing graph to see how your rates sit against the market. A well-set minimum protects quiet periods, the base reflects real demand and the maximum captures peaks without looking greedy.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between base, minimum and maximum price in PriceLabs?
The base is the typical-day anchor PriceLabs adjusts from, the minimum is the lowest price it will ever set and the maximum is the ceiling for high-demand dates.
Why does my PriceLabs minimum price matter so much?
If it is too low you can sell nights below cost; if it is too high you may miss bookings in quiet periods. It needs to reflect your real costs and your market.
Can a maximum price be too high on Airbnb?
Yes. Guests see your rate plus any channel markup, so a ceiling far above comparable listings can look unrealistic and rarely books.
