🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter Pick-up Locations – A list of airport names, IATA codes, cities or coordinates (e.g. London Heathrow, LAX, Barcelona).
2. Pick Your Rental Window – Set pick-up and drop-off dates (absolute, or relative like 14 days), times and the driver's age.
3. Run the Scraper – Every available offer for that window is collected, up to your Max Items limit.
4. Export – Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API and connect it to your BI tool, spreadsheet or pricing model.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing, so you only pay for the searches you run and the offers you keep — there is no per-run start fee.

Event	Price (USD)	When it fires	What you get
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, fees, extras, supplier and branch

Example run costs:

• Default run — 1 location, 50 offers: $0.105
• Deep single-market snapshot — 1 location, 500 offers: $1.005
• Daily rate monitoring — 10 airports × 50 offers: $1.05

Set Max Items to control your spend exactly: a single search can return up to 500 offers, so keep the limit low for price-tracking runs and raise it when you need the whole market.

❓ FAQ

How many offers can one search return? Up to 500 per pick-up location and rental window — across every supplier serving that area, including off-airport depots.

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 with relative dates (14 days) so it keeps tracking a rolling window.

Why is the currency sometimes different from what I asked for? Some markets always quote in the local currency. The currency field on each result is the authoritative one.

Can I search a city instead of an airport? Yes — enter a city or address (for example Manhattan, New York) and the search covers the depots around that point, or pass raw lat,lng coordinates for full control.

Do I need a proxy? Residential proxies are recommended and set by default. Datacenter IPs are frequently blocked.

Is scraping Rentalcars.com legal? The Actor collects publicly available 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.
