Europcar Scraper

Scrape brand-direct car rental offers straight from Europcar.com — Europe's largest brand-direct car rental network. Extract car models, categories, daily and total prices, fuel policy, mileage policy, and transmission by pickup city or airport. No login or cookies required.

Why use this actor?

Every major aggregator (RentalCars.com, Kayak, Skyscanner) resells Europcar inventory with a markup and its own booking fees layered on top. This actor pulls Europcar's own rate straight from their booking engine — the price you'd actually pay booking direct. Use it to check whether the aggregator price for a given car is really the best deal, or to track Europcar's own pricing over time without going through a reseller.

How it works

1. Enter a pickup location (city, airport, or station), for example Paris or Berlin Airport
2. Optionally set a different drop-off location for one-way rentals
3. Optionally set pickup/drop-off dates and times (defaults: 21 days from now, 5-day rental, 10:00 pickup and drop-off)
4. Optionally set driver age and a result limit
5. Start the actor

The actor resolves your pickup (and drop-off) location through Europcar's own station search, then pulls priced offers through the same JSON API their booking engine uses. No browser automation, no form filling — pure HTTP requests, so a search resolves in a few seconds.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
pickupLocation	String	No	City, airport, or station. Default: Paris
dropoffLocation	String	No	City, airport, or station to return the car. Defaults to the pickup location (round trip).
pickupDate	String	No	YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to 21 days from now. Past dates are replaced by that default.
pickupTime	String	No	HH:MM, 24h. Default: 10:00
dropoffDate	String	No	YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to a 5-day rental.
dropoffTime	String	No	HH:MM, 24h. Default: 10:00
driverAge	Integer	No	Driver age, affects pricing and young-driver surcharges (default: 30)
countryOfResidence	String	No	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, e.g. BE, FR, DE (default: BE). Affects displayed currency/tax presentation on some markets — not a hard gate.
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum number of offers to return (default: 50, max: 200)
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings. Europcar's pricing API has no anti-bot protection — the default automatic Apify proxy pool works fine, no residential group needed.

Use cases

• Aggregator arbitrage — Compare Europcar's brand-direct price against RentalCars.com or other aggregator listings for the exact same car and dates
• Price monitoring — Schedule daily runs to track how Europcar's own rates move over a booking window
• Travel agencies — Quote clients the brand-direct rate alongside aggregator options
• Market research — Analyze Europcar's pricing across cities, seasons, and driver-age brackets
• Fleet analysis — Track which car models Europcar has available at specific airports and stations

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 $0.005 per run start plus $0.002 per rental offer returned. A default run (up to 50 offers) costs about $0.105. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Proxy requirements

Europcar's pricing API (api.aws.emobg.io) is a separate, open AWS-hosted endpoint with no anti-bot protection — it's not behind the Akamai Bot Manager that guards the marketing site (www.europcar.com). The default automatic Apify proxy pool is sufficient; residential proxies are not needed and would only add unnecessary cost.

Limitations

• Prices reflect Europcar's own booking engine at scrape time and can change without notice
• Van and truck rentals are out of scope for this actor (passenger cars only)
• One-way rentals (different pickup/drop-off locations) are supported, but availability and one-way surcharges are set by Europcar and shown as part of the returned price
• Some fields (e.g. mileagePolicy) may be null when Europcar doesn't expose a specific value for that rate
• Data is scraped from a public API and may change shape without notice

How to scrape Europcar 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 dates, set the maximum number of results, and adjust proxy settings if needed (the default works fine).
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish — searches typically resolve in a few seconds.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow via API.

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