Avis Scraper

Scrape brand-direct car rental offers straight from Avis.com — no aggregator markup, no third-party commission baked into the price. Extract car categories, models, daily and total prices, currency, transmission, fuel type, seats, doors, bags, and unlimited-mileage status for any pickup location and date range. No login or cookies required.

Why use this actor?

RentalCars.com and similar comparison sites show Avis offers with a booking-platform markup on top of Avis's own rate. This actor goes straight to Avis's own booking engine and reads the same price Avis itself quotes a walk-up customer — useful for price monitoring against actors/rentalcars-scraper (our Booking-Group aggregator scraper), for spotting the gap between aggregator and brand-direct pricing, or simply for tracking Avis's own rates over time and across markets.

How it works

1. Enter a pickup location (city, airport, or station), for example Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
2. Optionally set a different drop-off location, pickup/drop-off dates and times
3. Optionally set the driver age and a result limit
4. Start the actor

The actor resolves your pickup (and optional drop-off) location through Avis's own location search, then fetches Avis's server-rendered results page — the same page a customer sees — and parses every offer with Cheerio. No browser automation, no form filling: two plain HTTP requests per run.

How to scrape Avis data

1. Go to this actor's page on the Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open it in Apify Console.
3. Enter a pickup location and (optionally) dates, driver age, and a result limit.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish — it typically completes in under 10 seconds.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow via the API.

You can also schedule regular runs, set up webhooks for price-drop alerts, or integrate the results directly into your application using the Apify API.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
pickupLocation	String	No	City, airport, or station. Default: Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
dropoffLocation	String	No	City, airport, or station to drop off at. Leave empty for a round trip back to the pickup location.
pickupDate	String	No	YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to 30 days from now. Past or malformed dates are replaced by that default.
pickupTime	String	No	HH:MM, 24h. Default 10:00.
dropoffDate	String	No	YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to a 7-day rental.
dropoffTime	String	No	HH:MM, 24h. Default 10:00.
driverAge	Integer	No	Driver age (default: 30). Under 25 may attract a young-driver surcharge shown at checkout — not modeled in the scraped price.
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum number of offers to return (default: 100, max: 200)
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings. Avis.com has no meaningful anti-bot protection — the fleet's default Apify proxy is used, residential proxies are not required.

Use cases

• Brand-direct vs aggregator comparison — Run alongside rentalcars-scraper for the same pickup location and dates to see exactly how much markup a comparison site adds on top of Avis's own rate.
• Price monitoring — Schedule daily runs to track Avis's own pricing trends and find the cheapest booking window.
• Corporate travel — Feed Avis rates directly into a travel-booking or expense-policy tool without going through a reseller.
• Market research — Analyze Avis's category mix, fleet composition, and seasonal pricing at specific airports and cities.

Integrations

This actor can be combined with Apify's built-in integrations to:

• Schedule runs to monitor prices daily or weekly
• Export to Google Sheets for easy analysis and sharing
• Send webhook notifications when prices drop below a threshold
• Connect to Zapier/Make for custom automation workflows
• Use the API to integrate car rental data into your applications

Cost estimate

This actor charges a small platform start fee plus a per-result fee (Standard tier: ~$0.005 start + $0.002 per rental offer returned). A default run (up to 100 offers) costs about $0.21. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Limitations

• v1 targets the France market (avis.fr / secure.avis.fr, fr_FR locale) — other Avis country sites (avis.co.uk, avis.de, ...) use the same booking platform but a different locale endpoint and are not covered yet.
• One-way rentals (different drop-off location) are supported, but only within the resolved locations the France endpoint knows about.
• fuelPolicy (full-to-full, etc.) is not shown on the results page in this market and is left null rather than guessed — Avis reveals it at the coverage/checkout step, one request deeper than this actor goes in v1.
• Under-25 driver pricing (young-driver surcharge) requires a date of birth in Avis's flow and is not modeled — results reflect the standard 25+ rate.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
