Trip.com Car Rental Locations API Documentation Find car rental pickup places by name. Each place has a code, a type (airport, station or area), a name, the city id and name, the country, coordinates, an address and the Trip.com place ids. Only airports are search-ready: for those, search_params holds the five values to copy into the pickup_* or dropoff_* parameters of the Car Rental Search endpoint. Stations and city areas are listed for reference with search_ready false, because the car search returns no offers for them. Hotels are left out. A search without a match is an empty list and costs nothing. Cost: 1 credit per successful call. Failed calls and empty answers cost 0.
