Display car company description and policy
In the terminal windows, you can display corporate policies and descriptions of car rental companies. You can also display individual location descriptions from an availability screen or sold car segment.
There are two types of descriptions:
-
Location describes policies and procedures that are specific to a location, such as hours of operation, car types, minimum age, and guarantee requirements.
-
Corporate describes policies specific to a car rental company, such as acceptable credit cards, promotions, and special equipment.
This section describes how to display, interpret, and use the description menus.
The function identifier to display a car description menu is CAD.
There is a standardized set of categories for each description menu. Car rental companies provide numbers and keywords to access these categories.
