Can my AI agent find available rental cars at a specific airport for my travel dates?

Yes. Use the `search_cars` tool with the airport code, pickup and return dates, and any vehicle preferences. The agent will return available vehicles from all participating agencies at that location, including pricing per day and total cost breakdowns.

Can I see all pickup and drop-off locations near my destination before searching for cars?

Absolutely. The `get_pickup_locations` tool returns all available rental counters near a given location, including airport terminals, downtown offices, and hotel desks. This helps you choose the most convenient pickup point before running a vehicle search.

Does this integration support booking and cancellation, or is it search only?

Full lifecycle support. You can search and compare vehicles (read), then book a rental via the `book_car` tool and manage or cancel existing reservations with `get_itinerary` and `cancel_itinerary`. All transactions go through the official Rapid API with standard cancellation policies enforced by the rental agency.
