Direct sell a rental car

You can direct sell a rental car if you know all the details of the car you want to book, such as location, size, CD number if applicable, etc.

You can direct sell a car with or without air segments.

If air segments already exist in the reservation Smartpoint Cloud assumes:

  • The pick-up location, date, and time are the same as the arrival of the air segment.

  • The drop-off location, date, and time are the same as the departure of the air segment.
