The Car Availability (OTA_VehAvailRateLLSRQ) API is used to search for rates and shop for car rentals across 40,000 rental locations and ~40 car suppliers worldwide.
Important! This API will be decommissioned on June 30, 2022. Moving forward, please use the GetVehAvail API. Refer to the Car Migration Guide for further details.
Customize your search with options to include one, multiple car suppliers, or all car suppliers, delivered with real-time responses directly from the car supplier(s). All returned rates are fully supported by the Total Pricing feature, which includes the base rate, extra day and extra hour rates, and total prices. (For car extra items, and drop-off charge for one way if applicable).
Car Availability offers the flexibility to search in the following ways:
- Exact rental locations or geo search for non-airport or local rental locations
- Specific vehicle types, including speciality and hybrid vehicles (as supported by the supplier)
- Car Extras such as child seats, toll tags, additional drivers, and underage drivers
- Various rate types, such as negotiated, contracted, inclusive, promotional, and prepaid
- One way rental (as permitted by the supplier)
- Rate plans, such as daily, weekly, weekend, or monthly
- Agency commission (as supported by the supplier)
Requests to this API can either be Quote requests or Shop requests. For an under-the-hood look at how this API works for you, check out the information below.
Request Elements
/OTA_VehAvailRateRQ/VehAvailRQCore/@Query Type
This element determines the type of car availability request being made. There are two types of requests:
Car Quote
Enter "Quote" into this element to request a single car supplier for one location.
<VehAvailRQCore queryType="Quote">
Car Shop
Enter "Shop" into this element to request a list of one or all car suppliers at a given airport. For example, you can search for a single supplier at JFK, or all suppliers for JFK.

The Rate Qualifier element contains attributes and child elements. If there are no rate qualifiers, there is no need to enter values.
Attributes
The RateQualifier attributes should be combined into one string if used in the request:

Car Extra Codes
The SpecialEquipPrefs element and SpecialEquipPref EquipType attributes are used to request special equipment when shopping for a car rental. Equipment includes things like child seats, as well as specific services and surcharges.
Some suppliers do not support this field. Most will support up to 4 repeats of the Car Extra, with a few supporting a maximum value of up to 10.
Most suppliers will support common Car Extras, such as special equipment like CST (Child Seat), and also includes services like NAV (Navigation). Less common items, such as TOL (Toll Road Tags), PAI (Insurance Codes), and surcharges such as A18 (Driver Age 18 Surcharge), aren’t as widely supported. For more information on what is supported, refer to the designated supplier contact.
When making a request, these fields are edited against the car supplier car rental location policy. For Shop requests, only codes valid for that car supplier location are sent to that specific car supplier.
Note: Car suppliers can make their own custom codes. For example, some countries allow surcharges on overage drivers, so a car supplier may add the surcharge A75 (Renter Age 75) during shopping.
To make a request, enter the appropriate Car Extra code shown below:

A18 | RENTER AGE 18 DATE OF RENTAL |
A19 | RENTER AGE 19 DATE OF RENTAL |
A20 | RENTER AGE 20 DATE OF RENTAL |
