Setting up Unattended Reliefs

The Unattended Reliefs tab is used only if your site also has the BlockBuster module.

The Unattended Reliefs tab is used to establish relief points where the vehicle will be left unattended by the driver. This is useful for occasions where there are gaps in the service, and you do not want to pay someone to sit with the vehicle or pay to have the vehicle driven back and forth from a garage.
