# Quote

**What it does:** Generates a price quote for RentalCover protection based on the customer's booking details.

**When to call it:** During checkout when the customer has selected a vehicle. Can also be called earlier (e.g. on search results) as long as the required parameters are available.

The response includes:

* A `Reference`: the identifier for all subsequent calls (Content, CoverOptOut, Purchase, Update, Cancel).
* A `QuoteUrl`: embed in confirmation emails so customers can purchase later if they decline at checkout.

```
POST /insurances/quote
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://partner-docs.covergenius.com/rentalcover/endpoints/quote.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
