Visitteo is a car rental price comparison website.
This page explains, in plain terms, where our data comes from, how we collect and update it, how we rank results, how we make money, and where our data can be wrong. We publish this so you can judge for yourself how much to trust what you see.
We use two kinds of data on Visitteo, and they come from different places. Knowing which is which helps you understand how much weight to give each.
Everything you see on our car rental pages comes from our booking partners: Discover Cars and EconomyBookings. This covers prices, availability, car models and categories, rental conditions, and the statistics we show, such as price ranges and average rates.
We don’t collect this data by hand, and we don’t copy it from other websites. It flows directly from our partners into Visitteo.
We connect to our partners through API integrations. When you search, Visitteo sends your request (location, dates, and preferences) to the partners’ systems and receives the current offers back. Those offers are what we display.
This means:
Our partners aggregate offers from many car rental companies. Visitteo does not have direct contracts with those individual companies. The rental company you actually rent from is shown on each offer, and its terms apply to your booking.
Content that isn’t a car rental offer, such as destination guides, airport and pickup location details, driving rules, and travel requirements, comes from three types of sources:
API data updates automatically, but the rest of our content needs people. Our team manually reviews guides and location information before publishing, and re-checks them when a source changes. When sources disagree, we go with the official source. If we can’t verify a fact, we leave it out.
If the data isn’t there, the page says nothing rather than something made up.
A car rental landing page is a page built around one specific pickup location, such as an airport or a city. The statistics you see when you land on the page describe the past 48 hours. Once you run a search for your dates and location, you see live data straight from our partners.
For example, our Rome Fiumicino Airport car rental page pulls current offers from all our partners for cars available at Fiumicino, and from that data we calculate our own statistics and data for the location. Every landing page works the same way, using the same partners and the same method to calculate statistics and data, just for a different locations.
For each offer, we display what the API provides: the price and currency, car category and example models, transmission type, fuel policy, mileage limits, deposit amount, included insurance and coverage, pickup and drop-off locations, and availability.
Price ranges, average daily rates, and availability figures on our pages are calculated from partner API data. They reflect what was returned for the searches and periods described on each page, not a guarantee of what you will pay.
Airport and city pickup points, country-specific rental information, and driving requirements come from the Google, official, and reliable sources described above.
We collect offers from our partners through their APIs and combine them in one place. Instead of showing each partner’s results separately, we put them side by side so you can compare the same car across different rental companies and booking partners.
From the combined data, we calculate our own figures, including:
These numbers are calculated by Visitteo from partner data. Partners don’t supply or approve them, and they are not published by the partners themselves.
The figures on our car rental pages are based on partner data from the past 48 hours. They show recent trends and are not live quotes. Live offers in search results are always fetched in real time and shown exactly as the partner returns them. We never change an offer’s price, and our statistics never replace it.
We show this data in our own design, with charts, tables, and comparisons built to make it easier to read. We change how the data looks, not what it says.
Prices and availability are fetched in real time each time you search. There is no fixed refresh schedule for these, because the data is requested fresh.
To keep pages fast, the price ranges, averages, and other statistics on our car rental pages are based on partner data from the past 48 hours. This is a rolling window, so older data drops out as new data comes in.
Car rental page figures show recent trends and are not live quotes. They never replace live prices in search results, which are always fetched in real time. Whatever the partner’s checkout shows when you book is the final price.
Every guide and information page carries a visible “Last updated” date. This is the date we last reviewed and confirmed the content, not just the date we first published it. We review pages on a regular schedule and immediately when we learn that something has changed, such as a new rule, a closed pickup location, or a partner update.
If a page has no date, treat it with caution and confirm the details with the official source.
We compare the same car across the offers our partners return. We don’t compare the entire car rental market. A cheaper deal may exist elsewhere, including directly on a rental company’s own website. We show what’s available through our partners, and we say so.
Visitteo earns a commission when you book a car through our links. The commission is paid by the partner. It costs you nothing extra, and the price you pay is the same as if you went to the partner directly and made your own search.
We are a commercial website, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. You should know how we earn money so you can factor it into how you read our pages.
We work to keep our data accurate, but no comparison site is perfect. Here is where you should be careful.
Car rental prices can change within minutes, and cars can sell out between your search and your booking. The price on the partner’s checkout page is the final price, and it overrides anything shown earlier on Visitteo.
Some charges are set by the rental company and paid at pickup. These often include young or senior driver fees, additional drivers, cross-border travel fees, airport surcharges, one-way fees, child seats, and upgraded insurance. Not all of these are visible in the API data. Read the rental conditions on the offer before you pay.
Average prices and price ranges describe patterns in past and current partner data. Your price depends on your dates, location, car category, how early you book, and current demand.
Information from Google, official bodies, and other websites is only as accurate as those sources. Rules on driving licenses, documents, tolls, low-emission zones, and border crossings can change without notice. Always confirm requirements with the official authority before you travel.
We run automatic checks on incoming data and manual reviews of our content, but some errors will still get through, for example, a wrong photo, an outdated location, or a mismatched detail. When we find one, we fix it. If you find one first, tell us.
We compare offers for the same car, so you can see how the price changes depending on who provides it. The rental company and the booking partners can be different. We also compare fuel policy, mileage limits, included insurance, deposit, and pickup location, and commission rates play no part in the comparison.

All content on Visitteo, including guides, destination pages, and car rental pages, is written by our authors. Authors research each topic before writing, using the sources described earlier on this page: official and administrative sources, established websites, and data from our booking partners. Their job is to turn that research into content that’s clear and useful for someone planning a car rental.
Before and after publishing, every page is reviewed by the Visitteo Editorial Team. The Editorial Team checks that facts are accurate, that sources are current and reliable, and that nothing in the article is outdated or misleading. They also verify that pricing information, rental conditions, and location details are consistent with what our booking partners and other sources currently show.
Authors and the Editorial Team have separate roles. Authors write the content. The Editorial Team reviews it, and no page goes live without that review. This separation means a page isn’t just checked by the person who wrote it.
The Editorial Team doesn’t only check new content. They also monitor published pages and update them when something changes, such as a new driving rule, a change at a pickup location, or updated partner information. When a reader reports an error, the Editorial Team investigates it, corrects the page if the error is confirmed, and updates the “Last updated” date so you can see when the page was last reviewed.
Visitteo is an affiliate website. When you click a booking link on our site and complete a booking, we may receive a commission from that partner. Links that lead to a booking on a partner site are affiliate links. We are a commercial website, and this commission is how we keep it running.
Learn more in our Affiliate disclosure.
Our content is written to help you rent a car with fewer surprises. Partners don’t review, approve, or edit our guides before they’re published, and they can’t pay to change what we write.
Every fact in our guides should trace back to an official, administrative, or reliable source. When sources disagree, we go with the official one. If we can’t verify something, we leave it out.
We review our content on a regular schedule and update it when rules, locations, or partner information change. Every page shows a “Last updated” date. When you report an error and we confirm it, we fix it and refresh the date.
If a page contains affiliate links or sponsored content, we say so. Sponsored content, if it ever exists, will be clearly labeled and kept separate from our independent guides and comparisons.
Learn more in our Editorial policy.
If you spot a wrong price, outdated information, a broken listing, or anything that doesn’t match what we’ve described on this page, please contact us or email us at [email protected].
For questions about a booking itself, such as changes, cancellations, or refunds, contact our partners directly, since they process the booking and hold your reservation details.
