# Edit car availability

### **Automated calendar updates for bookings**

When your car is booked through FlynCar, the reservation is automatically logged in your calendar. There's no need for manual entry, saving you time and effort.

### **Updating availability manually**

Sometimes, you'll need to adjust your car's availability manually. This is necessary if:

1. **Existing bookings outside FlynCar:** If your car is already booked through other means.
2. **Unavailability due to maintenance:** If your car is unavailable for reasons like maintenance or personal use.

#### **Here's how to update your calendar:**

1. Navigate to the **Your Cars** section in your account.
2. Select **Edit Availability** to make changes.
3. Click on the **dates** you want to change.
4. Choose **Update** to confirm the changes.

#### **Regular calendar maintenance**

* **Stay Up-to-Date:** We recommend updating your calendar regularly. This helps in:
  * **Avoiding unnecessary requests:** Keeping your calendar current reduces the chances of receiving booking requests for dates when your car isn't available.
  * **Preventing disappointments:** It ensures potential renters aren't inconvenienced by requesting a car that's not available.

Regular updates to your availability calendar ensure a smoother experience for both you and your renters on FlynCar.
