Field	Description
vehicleModel	The car, or the "X, Y or similar" group Expedia guarantees
dailyRate	Price per day in R$ (see the note below)
rentalCompany	Localiza, Movida, Foco, Alamo, Enterprise, National…
transmission	Automatic or Manual, normalised from Expedia's Portuguese label (kept verbatim in transmissionRaw)
totalPrice	Full rental price for the whole period, taxes and fees included
bookingUrl	Direct link to book this exact offer on Expedia

Expedia's own nested objects (vehicle, vendor, priceSummary, tripLocations, review, offerBadges, infositeURL) are passed through unchanged alongside these, so anything not promoted above is still there.

How the daily rate is calculated

Expedia Brazil quotes the rental total, not a per-day figure — its results header reads "O valor total inclui impostos e taxas" (the total includes taxes and fees). So dailyRate is totalPrice ÷ rentalDays, and dailyRateBasis records that. For a one-day rental the two are identical: a search for 7→8 September at Recife returns R$ 154 as both the total and the daily rate.

If Expedia ever starts publishing a real per-day price on the Brazilian site, the actor uses it directly and dailyRateBasis becomes expedia_lead_price.

Notes and limits

• A Brazilian residential proxy is required and configured by default. Expedia's bot protection accepts only a small share of residential IPs, so the actor tries a series of them at the start of each run until one is accepted — this is why a run takes a minute or two to produce its first result. Once through, that one session covers every airport in the run.
• Every airport always produces a row. If one returns nothing, you get a SEARCH_STATUS row with an _error explaining why (no_availability, empty_result, blocked_by_akamai) rather than a silently short dataset.
• Some airports genuinely have no rental desks. Canoas (QNS) returns Expedia's own "no cars available at this location" message for every date tested — that is real, not a scraping failure.
• Inventory per airport is small (typically 30–75 cars) and one search captures all of it.
• Prices and availability are point-in-time and change constantly.
