Mi intento es "The fee covers the entire day", pero no me suena del todo bien. Alguna sugerencia.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Good catch, Lorena. But actually it seems that it appeared as $110 because the service was selected for two people (but just one day). It's $55 for one person, be they an adult or a child.
lorenab23 Apr 12, 2017:
Hi Zantike2 The website says $110 because 2 days were chosen, I just manually changed it to 1 day then clicked on "buscar" and the price went down to $55.
Zantike2 (asker) Apr 12, 2017:
According to the web site, it means that the client must pay $110 USD per day. So, would "Price/Cost" be the answer?
12316323 (X) Apr 12, 2017:
No, you're right. I misinterpreted it, as the calendar only lets you choose one date. But further down, it says: Si la renta es menor a 3 días, se cobrarán $20 USD.

Thanks :)
Carol Gullidge Apr 12, 2017:
@ Kathryn Although you could be right, how can you be so certain that this is the only interpretation? It still seems more likely to me that we're talking about a daily hire charge
12316323 (X) Apr 12, 2017:
"Renta" here isn't referring to the unit cost, as the scooters can only be rented for one day at a time. It's talking about the rental itself. Mexican Spanish.
Carol Gullidge Apr 12, 2017:
not "fee" as this is usually charged for work done.
"Hire" or "rental" would be more precise or even "charge" or "price/cost" could also work here

thank you
agree Robert Forstag : The original is ambiguous, as it could mean that return is required the same day, or 24 hours after the initial rental. The phrase also seems to mean that a full-day charge will always be applied (i.e., even if you use the scooter for one hour).

daily rate

Rental is at a daily rate /on a daily basis

You rent the vehicle on a daily rate specific to the size of the vehicle

A daily rate with unlimited mileage will probably work out cheaper...

rental is by the day

rental BY the day (and the rent PER day is $xxx) it might say.

Spanish term (edited): Nota: La renta es por día

Please note that rentals are billed at a daily rate.

Apologies for my previous misunderstanding of "renta" as used here.

I agree with Robert that the line is ambiguous, but I now think that it's more likely to be referring to cost and not returns. I agree with his last comment- that there are no hourly or partial-day rental fees. You pay for the day (meaning ambiguous) regardless of time used.

This is how I would express the idea and would expect to see it appear on a website.

Or, Please note that rentals are billed at the daily rate of $110.

Which makes clear that the figure below of $110 is not the grand total.
