This can be done but will probably require a bit of JavaScript.

You could have a zero-priced main product for each car, an optional component priced for a single day at each seasonal rate, a start date entry box, and some JavaScript (replacing the NETQUOTEVAR:CARTBUTTON) that checks the start date and selects the appropriate component depending on the date.

Also you'd have to replace the Quantity field węth a set of radio buttons to select one of the 3,7,10,14 day durations.

If you wanted to do it without JavaScript, then create three products - called 'low season', 'medium season' and 'high season'. Each of these would use the 'Date Prompt' to select a date to start the hire.

Then you can put components within each product with a drop-down list to select the number of days required.

Is there anywhere where I can find out more as I am not a Java Script person, any help is valuable

It's not trivial so I'm afraid that you may have to hire one.

If you go with Chris's simpler solution then you are there with no scripting required but with the possibility that the customer may choose the wrong season as the date prompt can only be limited to a range of years - not days or months.
