Expected response:
When a <CarAvailMods> (7100) Car Availability request is performed, the <CarIndex> (7116) and the <CarIndexDetail> (7117) are returned. The location of the rental car is selected from the data in the <CarIndex> and <CarIndexDetail> to submit an additional availability request, which returns the <CarAvailDetail> (7101). Sometimes a <CarVErrors> (7103) is returned when a Car Inside Availability participant alert message exists.
Error and warning responses:
1) ‘Invalid Date’ when either arrival or drop off date is left out.
2) ‘Invalid Time’ when either arrival or drop off time is left out.
3) ‘Invalid Airport or non-airport city code’ when the rental location is left out.
