# Can I end my booking early?

Users can end their bookings sooner than their booked time if needed. This allows the equipment to be free for other users in the account to create their own bookings. 

The option to end a booking early can be turned on or off for users by an admin in the lab's settings.

If this setting is turned on, users will find their active bookings displayed at the top of the lab dashboard page, with the option to End early. ![](https://help.calira.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-2.png?width=565&height=280&name=image-png-2.png)
