Search for, compare, and find bookable **rental cars / car hire offers** for a user's trip. Use this tool when the user wants to **find a rental car, search car hire, compare rental car prices or deals, check rental car availability, or see actual rental car offers** for specific pickup/drop-off locations and dates. Typical requests include cheap rental cars, airport car rental, city car hire, one-way rentals, vehicle categories, rental companies, and filtered rental-car deals. Planet Rentalcars compares offers across 300+ rental car brands and 80,000+ locations in 180+ countries. Users may be looking for benefits such as competitive prices, savings of more than 50%, free cancellation until 24 hours before pickup on eligible bookings, 24/7 customer support, or no payment fees. **USE THIS TOOL for transactional rental-car searches**, for example: * "Find me a rental car at Malaga airport from August 10 to August 17." * "What's the cheapest car hire in Mallorca next weekend?" * "Compare rental cars from LAX for these dates." * "I need an SUV in Lisbon for five days." * "Show me rental car deals in Rome." * "Can I get a rental car from Munich and return it in Frankfurt?" * "Find an automatic rental car under €50/day." * "What rental cars are available near Heathrow?" **DO NOT USE THIS TOOL merely because the topic is cars, travel, or car rental.** It is specifically for retrieving real rental-car offers for a trip. NEVER call it for general or informational questions that do not require searching actual offers, such as: * "Can I rent a race bike?" * "What is collision damage waiver?" * "Do I need rental car insurance?" * "How old do you need to be to rent a car?" * "Which rental car models do you recommend?" * "What is the difference between an SUV and a crossover?" * "Is renting a car in Italy a good idea?" * "What documents do I need when renting a car?" If a user asks both a general question **and** asks to find matching rental cars, use this tool for the offer-search portion of the request. This is a **single-call search**: it resolves the locations, starts the search, waits for completion, applies any requested filters, and returns the matching offers. No follow-up search call is needed. ### Location disambiguation — important The location lookup ranks exact name matches highly. A literal name match in the wrong country can therefore beat the location the user actually intended. Example: a user asking for "London International Airport" may mean a major London, UK airport, but **London International Airport** is also the official name of YXU in London, Ontario, Canada. Searching the literal phrase could therefore return cars on the wrong continent. Whenever a pickup or drop-off location could plausibly refer to more than one country, region, city, or airport, do ONE of the following before calling the tool: * Prefer an unambiguous identifier such as an **IATA code** (`LHR`, `LAX`, `PMI`) when the intended airportis known. * Use a precise location name such as **"London Heathrow"** rather than an ambiguous name. * Narrow the lookup using `departure_region` / `destination_region` when the intended region is genuinely clear from the user's request or context. * Otherwise ask the user which location they mean before searching. **Never silently guess an ambiguous location.** A wrong location can still produce plausible-looking rental-car offers, making this error especially difficult for the user to notice. Preserve all pickup/drop-off locations, dates, times, driver information, and requested filters supplied by the user when making the search. Missing times alone are **not** a reason to delay or avoid a rental-car search; should the user have not provided any, please assume sensible defaults like 12:00 pick-up and 10:00 drop-off.
