EconomyCarRentals Location Autocomplete

Find rental-car pickup locations by text. Responses group airports, offices, railway stations, and hotels when available, and include country metadata plus opaque hierarchy and selection keys. A confirmed no-match returns empty groups and is not billed. This endpoint does not provide live availability, vehicles, prices, supplier terms, or booking.
