Introduction
Vehicle prices change with location, season and demand. Rental companies, dealers, insurers and analysts use scraped listing data to understand where the market is going.
Rental price data
Turo (peer-to-peer rentals) and Kayak API or Priceline (travel aggregators) show daily rates for different dates and locations. A scrape for a specific pick-up location and date range returns:
- Vehicle make, model, year and category
- Daily rate, total price and fees
- Availability and mileage limits
- Host or supplier rating
Running this across several locations shows how price varies between airports, cities and tourist areas.
Used-car listings from mobile.de
mobile.de is among Germany's largest vehicle marketplaces. Country-wide listing data can include:
- Make, model, variant, year, mileage and fuel type
- Price, VAT status and dealer or private seller
- Location, images and listing date
- Equipment and features
Use cases
- Rental Pricing: set competitive daily rates by city and season
- Residual value studies: see how prices fall with mileage and age
- Dealer inventory benchmarking
- Market analysis for exports and imports
Data challenges
Listings are duplicated across dealers, prices change often, and rental prices depend on the dates chosen. Good projects store the search date and the travel datasets with each record.
A practical data model for vehicle data
Rental and used-car data have different structures. For rentals, each record should hold the pick-up location, pick-up and drop-off dates, vehicle category, make and model, daily rate, total price, fees, mileage limit and the platform. For used cars, each record should hold the listing ID, make, model, variant, first registration date, mileage, fuel type, transmission, price, seller type, location and listing date.
Seasonality and location effects
Rental prices move with demand. Running the same search for different dates shows how rates rise during holidays, events and school breaks. Running it for several pick-up points, such as an airport and a city centre, shows location premiums. For used cars, comparing the same make and model across regions shows where prices are higher.
Dealer inventory and days on market
By collecting mobile.de listings on a schedule, you can see when a car first appears and when it disappears. This gives a useful estimate of how long cars take to sell, which dealers hold the most stock and how asking prices change before a car is sold.
Example: setting rental prices for a new city
A small rental company plans to launch in a tourist city. It collects Turo, Kayak and Priceline rates for the next three months for economy, SUV and luxury categories. The company sees that SUV rates rise sharply on weekends and holidays, and decides to price weekdays competitively while holding higher weekend rates.
