# Car rental data

Send car rental data for US domestic transactions.

[View source](/payment-methods/cards/enhanced-scheme-data/car-rental.md)

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](/payment-methods/cards/enhanced-scheme-data#requirements), take into account the following additional limitations for sending car rental data.

| Requirement     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| --------------- |   |
| **Limitations** | * Your business must operate under an [eligible MCC](#car-rental-data-mcc).

* You can only send car rental data for commercial and consumer cards.

* The [Checkout API](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/overview) 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](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Payment/latest/overview) integration.

* You can send the following car rental data fields only in the payment request:

  * [`travelEntertainmentAuthData.market`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments#request-additionalData-AdditionalDataCarRental-travelEntertainmentAuthData-market)
  * [`travelEntertainmentAuthData.duration`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments#request-additionalData-AdditionalDataCarRental-travelEntertainmentAuthData-duration) |

### MCCs for sending car rental data

You can send car rental data if you have one of the following MCCs:

| MCC       | Description                                 | Scheme           |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| 3351-3500 | Automobile/vehicle rentals                  | Mastercard, Visa |
| 7512      | Automobile rental agency                    | Mastercard, Visa |
| 7513      | Truck and utility trailer rentals           | Mastercard, Visa |
| 7519      | Motor home and recreational vehicle rentals | Mastercard       |

## How it works

In your payment or capture requests, include the car rental specific data fields. The recommended request depends on your [capture setting](/online-payments/capture#types-of-capture).

* **Automatic capture** and **Delayed automatic capture**: in the [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) request, include car rental data in the [additionalData.carRental](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments#request-additionalData-AdditionalDataCarRental-carRental-customerServiceTollFreeNumber) object.
* **Manual capture** (**Single partial capture** and **Multiple partial capture**): in the [/capture](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Payment/latest/post/capture) request, include car rental data in the [additionalData.enhancedSchemeData.carRental](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Payment/latest/post/capture#request-additionalData-AdditionalDataCarRental) object.

## Send car rental data

Include airline data in the payment or capture request.

* For the [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) request: use the [additionalData.carRental](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments#request-additionalData-AdditionalDataCarRental-carRental-customerServiceTollFreeNumber) object
* For the [/capture](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Payment/latest/post/capture) request: use the [additionalData.enhancedSchemeData.carRental](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Payment/latest/post/capture#request-additionalData-AdditionalDataCarRental) object.
