Information: Car Rental Availability: Vehicle List

The dialog box Car Rental Availability: Vehicle List shows you the currently available vehicles of the specified provider at the pickup location for the relevant time period. The list is sorted by rate and possibly by priority, in ascending order. The list also uses special optical indicators to give you information as to which vehicles correspond to your car preferences and possible class rules for car rentals as specified in Customizing and valid for your travel profile (see Customizing for SAP Travel Planning under Trip Rules and Profiles).

You can choose a vehicle here that will be copied to your travel plan with the status Requested. The system then waits for confirmation by the provider.

DAILY	Price per day. A day is defined as a period of up to 24 hours and 59 minutes.
WEEKLY	Flat rate for a time period of at least 5 days.
WEEKEND	Weekend rate that is charged per day. This rate has the following requirements: - Rental duration of 1 to 4 days - Pickup by customer after 12 noon Thursday to Sunday - Dropoff by customer by 12 noon Monday - There is a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday within the time the car is rented
MONTHLY	Daily or flat-rate price for a total rental duration of at least 28 days. The customer is not obligated to rent the car for more than 31 days.
ACRISS code	Industry-specific code describing vehicle specifications with regard to the following criteria: - Vehicle class (E = Economy, I = Intermediate, etc.) Since the vehicle class of the rental car is taken directly from the reservation system, it is not necessarily the same as the car rental classes defined by your company in Customizing (see Customizing for SAP Travel Planning under Master Data ® Travel Service Providers ® Car Rentals ® Define Assignment of Car Rental Classes to Vehicle Specifications). - Vehicle type (C = Two or four doors, S = Sports car, etc.) - Transmission type A = Automatic, M = Manual - Air conditioning R = Air conditioning, N = No air conditioning The relevant codes are named in this order first in the vehicle description and then decoded in text.
Price	Price based on the rate type. The price is displayed in the currency defined by the car rental provider.
Distance limitation	Indicates whether the car rental rate includes a distance limit (in miles or kilometers). The categories are displayed as follows: - UNL (unlimited) No miles/kilometers limitation applies. - Three-digit number and 'M' or 'K' A distance limitation exists for the displayed distance (M = miles, K = kilometers). For example, 500K means that a maximum distance of 500 kilometers is included in the price. If this limit is exceeded, the customer must pay a surcharge for each additional kilometer.
Charge for exceeding	The amount the customer must pay per additional mile or kilometer driven if the distance limitation is exceeded.
Status: On request	For technical reasons, the reservation option for the vehicle cannot be guaranteed by the car rental provider. If the system successfully selects the vehicle, you receive a success message and the car rental request is shown in your travel plan in the status Requested.
Status: Available	The vehicle is available for reservation.
