Car rental data

If your business operates under specific travel-related Merchant Category Codes (MCCs), you can provide enhanced scheme data (ESD) to optimize your interchange rates. Car rental data consists of industry-specific details such as rental dates or rental agreements.

You get benefits for transactions, depending on the scheme:

• Visa: prevent downgrades to higher commercial standard rates.
• Mastercard: ensure that your transactions qualify for the interchange rates specific to your industry.

Requirements

In addition to the requirements that apply to sending ESD, take into account the following additional limitations for sending car rental data.

MCCs for sending car rental data

How it works

1. Review the fields to send and the requirements that apply to your MCC.
2. Include the car rental data in one of the following requests. The request to use depends on your capture setting:
   • Automatic capture and Delayed automatic capture: the /payments request.
   • Manual capture (Single partial capture and Multiple partial capture): the /payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures request.
3. Check that you get a successful response.
