Car Transactions report

The Car Transactions report provides detailed metrics on all car rental bookings at the transaction level. This includes many relevant financial and accounting details (e.g., taxes, fees, credit card used) as well as other useful data such as locations codes, number of cars, and rental company. You can use this report to derive insights about your spend across rental car bookings and conduct reconciliation.
