Availability

GOCARS.online facilitates the automatic initiation of availability search through the transmission of GET or POST parameters, as outlined below. It is highly advisable to utilize GET (via an HTML form) whenever feasible to display the appending of query keys to the booking engine URL.

Supported parameters

NAME	TYPE	REQUIRED	EXAMPLE
pickup_id	integer	YES	pickup_id=1
return_id	integer	YES	return_id=1
date_from	DD/MM/YYYY	YES	date_from=23/02/2024
time_from	HH:MM	YES	time_from=12:00
date_to	DD/MM/YYYY	YES	date_to=24/02/2024
time_to	HH:MM	YES	time_to=12:00

lang	string	NO	lang=el

It is advisable to employ a date picker widget for Date form fields to enhance user-friendliness. An excellent option is the free and open-source datepicker provided by JQuery UI, which can be seamlessly integrated. For numeric parameters, select box fields are recommended. It’s important to note that not all fields, such as “rooms,” are mandatory and can be safely excluded from the form.

CAUTION

Do not forget to replace clientdemo.gocars.gr in the examples below with the real booking engine hostname.

If you don’t know the hostname yet, please contact GOCARS.online support.
