What is the KAYAK Car Rental Scraper?

KAYAK Car Rental Scraper turns KAYAK's live car-rental metasearch into a clean dataset you can actually work with. KAYAK compares prices from dozens of rental agencies at once; this Actor pulls those comparison results — every car, every agency, every price — into a structured table.

For each pickup location and date range you get a ready-to-use list of car rental offers: the car and its class, the agency, the price per day and total, the transmission, seats and bags, the mileage and cancellation policy, and a direct booking link.

Whether you're a travel agency or OTA monitoring rates, a price-comparison or deals site building a feed, a data analyst tracking the rental market, or a traveler hunting the best deal, this scraper gives you the raw material in seconds — with no captcha and no page-by-page clicking.

💡 Why it stands out: most rental scrapers give you a price and a name. This one returns the full vehicle spec (transmission, seats, bags, doors, fuel), the mileage and cancellation policy, and both per-day and total prices across every agency — so you can truly compare deals.

❓ FAQ

Which locations can I search? Any KAYAK car-rental location worldwide — pass an airport code (MIA, LHR) or a city name (Miami, London). City names are resolved automatically.

Do I get every agency's price? Yes — KAYAK compares dozens of agencies, and the Actor returns each car offer with its agency, price and full specs, so you can compare.

Do I get per-day and total prices? Both. dayPrice and totalPrice are returned as clean numbers, plus a formatted priceDisplay and the currency.

Can I do one-way rentals? Yes — set a dropoffLocation different from the pickup.

Which currency are prices in? Prices come back in the market's default currency (USD for US searches). The currency field reflects the actual currency of each price.

Do I need proxies? Residential proxies are required and enabled by default (US residential). No browser or captcha-solving is needed.

How many results can I get? Set maxItemsPerSearch (0 = all). A busy airport returns hundreds of offers across agencies.

In what formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, plus the Apify API and integrations.

💡 Tips

• Start with one airport and maxItemsPerSearch: 100 to preview, then scale up.
• Use sort: price_a to surface the cheapest deals first.
• Run on a schedule to track how prices change as the date approaches.
• Filter your export to unlimited mileage or free cancellation offers.
• Compare several airports in one run to find the cheapest city to rent in.

---

⚠️ Limitations & responsible use

• Prices are live and change constantly; a run is a snapshot at that moment.
• Availability and some fields depend on what each agency publishes.
• Currency follows the market default unless the location implies otherwise.
• Use the data responsibly and in line with applicable laws and the source's terms. This tool is intended for price comparison, market research and travel planning.
