Bota — car rental availability and bookings missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

select

select_extras

Add optional extras (child seat, additional driver, coverage…) to the booking in progress using the extra ids returned after select_offer, or pass an empty list to continue without extras. Requires booking_via_agents=true.

select_offer

Choose one of the numbered offers returned by search_availability (same session). Bota then asks for extras or driver details as needed. Requires booking_via_agents=true.

availability

search_availability

Search available vehicles with real prices for a company, office and dates. Prices are identical to the company's own web chat (mandatory charges, one-way and time rules included). Returns numbered offers; keep the session_id to select one.

chat

chat

Send a free-text message to the company's Bota agent within a session (questions about conditions, insurance, extras, changes…). Bota answers in the customer's language with the company's approved information. For companies with booking_via_agents=true the conversation can complete a booking.

confirm

confirm_booking

Confirm the booking summarised by Bota. Pass the confirmation_token returned by the previous call (it proves the customer saw that exact summary). Creates the reservation in the company's reservation system and returns the confirmation code (and a payment link when the company requires prepayment).

offices

list_offices

Rental offices (pickup/return locations) of a company: name, city, address, opening hours, timezone, coordinates. Use the office NAME in search_availability.

provide

provide_customer_details

Submit the driver's details for the booking in progress. Only call it after the customer has explicitly accepted the company's terms (terms_accepted must be true). Bota then shows the summary to confirm.

rental

list_rental_companies

List the car-rental companies that sell through Bota. Returns id, name, website, active channels, whether bookings can be completed from this server (booking_via_agents) and whether it is the demo company. Start here.
