Introduction
The Wheelbase system defines quote as a rental request that hasn’t been confirmed mainly because deposit hasn’t been paid. Quotes will appear in blue on your calendar unlike reservations colored in green or purple for delivery. As long as the quote hasn’t been cancelled or expired, it remains valid.
