Car rental data

Send car rental data for US domestic transactions.

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.

Requirement Description

Limitations

Your business must operate under an eligible MCC.
You can only send car rental data for commercial and consumer cards.
The Checkout API does not support sending car rental data in capture requests. You can send ESD while capturing the payment if you have an existing Classic API integration.
You can send the following car rental data fields only in the payment request:
- travelEntertainmentAuthData.market
