Spanish term

dia a disposicion

Spanish to English Other Linguistics
Serán incompatibles, los precios de tarifa horaria con el **día a disposición**, a partir de cuatro horas de trabajo. Por debajo de ese tiempo se pagarán las cuatros horas y el **día a disposición**, si el tiempo de empleo es superior a las cuatro horas sólo aplicará la tarifa horaria.

Robert Forstag Nov 10, 2005:
I think that your understanding is correct and, I agree, it makes absolutely no sense.
David Brown (asker) Nov 10, 2005:
That's exactly it Robert. It still doesn't make sense.Is the company saying if it is less than fours hours it will pay four hours plus the daily rate, and if more than four hours only the hourly rate will apply. Surely an hourly rate is more expensive than a daily rate.
David Brown (asker) Nov 10, 2005:
It is about rates for hiring/renting vehicles

a daily rate

I think that the idea here is a worker's availability for an entire (8 hour?) work day.

If David is correct, then the text is discussing a daily versus an hourly rental rate for the vehicle.

full-day availability rate

This is how I would translate it

Sorry, I didn't read that it referred to car hire.
It could be just a "full-day rate"

I get the impression that a comma is missing in the original text "y el día a disposición, si el tiempo es superior a las cuatro horas, solo aplicará la tarifa horaria" meaning that the full-day rate will only apply if the car is hired for more than four hours.
