The Get Vehicle Availability (GetVehAvailRQ) API is used to request information about a car rental location, or locations, car types available at a location, and the rates of those cars at the specified location.

Get Vehicle Availability is used to get car rates in one of three ways:

1. Specific car supplier at a specific location
2. Select one, multiple, or all car suppliers at an airport location
3. Select one, multiple, or all car suppliers near a specific Geo Point at one or more rental locations

Note: For a point of interest, rail station name, address, and/or city name, a separate Geo API call must be called to get a latitude/longitude prior to using GetVehAvailRQ.

Use the Geo Autocomplete API to input:

• A point of interest; for example, the Eiffel Tower
• A rail station name; for example, Grand Central Station

Use the Geo Search API to input any type of Address information:

• Street address, city name, state/province, country code, postal code
• Or, just the city name and country code.

See the Appendix section of this guide for samples of Geo Autocomplete and Geo Search.
