Overview

RentalCover provides rental vehicle protection that partners embed directly into their booking flow. Customers purchase cover at the point of vehicle rental, reducing their financial exposure to excess charges in the event of an accident or theft.

What's the typical integration process?

Step	Action	Endpoint
1	Authenticate: include your API key in every request header.	N/A
2	Quote: retrieve a price and a Reference based on the customer's booking details.	POST /insurances/quote
3	Display the offer: retrieve localised copy, logos, and UI components.	POST /insurances/content
4	Record consent: record the customer's decision, whether they accept or decline.	POST /insurances/coverOptOut/<reference>
5	Purchase: confirm and pay for the policy.	POST /insurances/purchase
6	Manage: handle post-purchase changes.	Update, Cancel, UpdateCustomer
7	Receive updates: get real-time notifications for RentalCover-originated events.	Webhooks

To skip the separate Quote and Purchase steps, use InstantBooking. It combines both into a single call.
