🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter Pick-up Locations – Airport names or codes, cities, stations, or Discover Cars location URLs (e.g. Barcelona Airport (BCN), LAX, Rome).
2. Pick Your Rental Window – Set pick-up and drop-off dates and times, and the driver's age. Leave the dates empty for a 7-day rental starting two weeks from today.
3. Set a Limit – Choose how many offers to keep per location, cheapest first, and click Start.
4. Export – Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API into your BI tool, spreadsheet or pricing model.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Discover Cars?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing, so you only pay for the searches you run and the offers you keep.

Event	Price (USD)	When it fires	What you get
Actor start	$0.00005	Once per run, per GB of memory	The run itself
search-request	$0.005	Once per pick-up location searched	A live availability search for your dates, location and driver age
car-rental-offer	$0.002	Once per offer stored in the dataset	Full offer record: vehicle, prices, terms, supplier and branch

Example run costs:

• Default run — 1 location, 50 offers: $0.105
• Full market snapshot — 1 location, 1,000 offers: $2.005
• Daily rate monitoring — 10 airports × 50 offers: $1.05

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly usage, enough for roughly 2,400 offers at no cost. Use Max offers per location to control your spend exactly.

💡 Tips

• Start small. Run one location with maxOffersPerSearch: 10 to confirm it resolves the way you expect before launching a large run.
• Cheapest first. Offers are sorted by total price ascending before the limit is applied, so a small limit still gives you the competitive floor of the market.
• Watch the whole market. A single busy airport returns 1,000–2,000 offers across 30+ suppliers. Raise the limit when you need full coverage rather than just the lowest rates.
• Schedule it. Rental prices move daily. Schedule the Actor and keep scrapedAt to build a price history.
• Driver age matters. Under 25 and over 70 both trigger surcharges and a smaller set of offers — set it to match the segment you're studying.
• Airport vs city. Barcelona Airport (BCN) and Barcelona are different searches with different suppliers and prices. Search both if you want the complete market.

❓ FAQ

How many offers can one search return? Typically 400–2,000 per pick-up location and rental window, across every supplier serving that area including off-airport branches. You keep the cheapest N, where N is your Max offers per location.

Are the prices live? Yes. Every record is a quote at the moment of the search, which is why scrapedAt is included. For rate monitoring, schedule the Actor so it keeps tracking your window.

Can I search several cities in one run? Yes — add as many locations as you like. Each one is searched separately and billed as one search-request.

Can I scrape one-way rentals? Yes. Set Drop-off location and every pick-up location will be searched as a one-way rental to that point.

Why do I sometimes get fewer offers than expected? Availability depends on the dates, the driver's age and the country of residence. Very short windows, last-minute dates and young drivers all reduce the number of suppliers who quote.

Do I need a proxy? Apify Proxy is enabled by default and recommended. No special proxy group is required.

Is scraping Discover Cars legal? The Actor collects publicly available rental listing data only — no personal data and no login required. You are responsible for how the collected data is used and for complying with the target site's terms and any applicable laws.

Something isn't working — where do I report it? Use the Issues tab on the Actor page. Custom versions and bespoke scraping solutions can be arranged there too.
