We define a location as a branch or office where car rentals are available. These locations may include settings such as airport terminals, off-site areas, or downtown/city locales.
In order to obtain and update locations, we require the following essential information:
-
Internal Office IDs: A mapping of company’s internal office IDs for all locations
-
Non-Airport Locations: Office ID, latitude/longitude coordinates, and country code
-
Airport Locations: Office ID, IATA codes, and country codes
We highly recommend including the following information as well:

-
Location Identifier: Indicates if it’s a downtown or airport location
Location information can be provided of any of the following formats:

Location Configuration
When a user searches for a downtown location, Skyscanner will query your API to retrieve and display data for multiple office locations near the user's specified pick-up location.
Skyscanner will query your API multiple times using the office ID. In return, our system receives information on available cars near the user's pick-up location.
Please be aware that we will implement a 'Max Query' limit to regulate the number of times we call your API per user search. This ensures efficient utilization while maintaining a smooth user experience.
Kindly provide us with the unique values of office IDs if your rates API accommodates radius search functionality for a single office.
