FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our car rental booking engine.
What is a car rental booking engine?
A car rental booking engine is software that lets travel businesses search, book, and manage car rentals across multiple car rental suppliers from a single interface. It handles the entire lifecycle from search to booking to after-rental modifications and cancellations.
How does multi-supplier aggregation work for car rentals?
The engine fires parallel search requests to every connected supplier (CarTrawler, Rentalcars, Avis, Hertz, etc.), normalises the results into a unified schema, deduplicates vehicles by make/model/location, applies your markup and discount rules, and returns a single ranked list to the user.
Which car rental suppliers do you integrate with?
We integrate with global aggregators (CarTrawler — 1,500+ suppliers, Rentalcars Connect — 53,000+ locations) and direct rental APIs (Avis Budget Group, Hertz Corporation, Enterprise Holdings, Sixt). Additional suppliers like Europcar, Alamo, and National are in our roadmap.
Can customers modify or cancel their own bookings?
Yes. The engine supports full self-service modifications — date changes, vehicle upgrades, extras additions, and cancellations. All changes trigger real-time availability checks and price recalculations. Free cancellation windows and refund policies are configurable per supplier.
How are insurance and extras handled?
Insurance packages (CDW, theft protection, third-party liability, PAI) and extras (GPS, child seats, Wi-Fi, winter tyres) are displayed at booking time with real-time pricing from the supplier. Coverage details, excess amounts, and upgrade options are clearly shown.
How are markups and discounts configured?
Markup and discount rules are configurable per agent, per B2B client, per location, per vehicle category, per rental duration, and per season. Rules can be flat, percentage, or tiered, and can be stacked with configurable priority resolution.
Does the engine support corporate negotiated rates?
Yes. Corporate clients can be assigned negotiated rates, discount codes, and preferred vehicle categories. The engine validates corporate eligibility and applies the correct rate at booking time.
How long does it take to deploy the car rental engine?
A white-label deployment with one supplier takes 3–6 weeks. A full multi-supplier rollout with custom markups, insurance packages, and branding typically takes 8–12 weeks.
Can I add my own fleet vehicles?
Yes. The engine supports direct fleet integration — you can load your own vehicles, set your own rates, and mix them with third-party supplier inventory. Your fleet gets priority routing if configured.
Do you provide post-deployment support?
Yes. We offer monthly retainer plans covering SLA monitoring, bug fixes, supplier API version upgrades, new supplier onboarding, and feature enhancements. Plans start at $1,500/month.
