# Vehicle Classes
Add vehicle classes, set their capacity and base prices.
A **vehicle class** is the type of vehicle your customers choose in the booking form, such as Saloon, Estate, Minibus or a Mercedes S Class. Open the list with **Fleet & Pricing → Vehicles**.
The Vehicles list (demo data).
The list shows for each class whether it is **Available**, its image, the number of **Passengers**, **Luggage** and **Hand luggage**, the **Minimum** fare, the **One-way rate (Per km)**, the **Return rate (Per km)** and the **Vehicle discount (%)**. Use **Edit** to change a class, **Delete** to remove it and **Add new** to create one.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://codico-dispatch.gitbook.io/documentation/fleet-and-pricing/vehicle-classes.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
