browse_locations

Browse states and cities: states and cities with car and company counts and the lowest daily rate.

What it answers

List the US states that have exotic car rental listings, or the cities of one state, with the number of cars and companies and the lowest published daily rate in each.

Use this when someone asks where they can rent exotic cars, which cities have the most supercars, or when you are unsure how the catalog spells a city before calling search_vehicles.

Without state: states only.

With an unknown state: an empty list with did_you_mean.

Places without a page of their own link the state page.

Limits

  • Read-only: it never books, changes or stores anything (annotations readOnlyHint, idempotentHint).
  • The Markdown text is capped at 8 KB; the structured result keeps every item.
  • 10 s per call; 600 messages per minute per IP address.
  • Results are cached for 5 minutes and carry as_of, the date of the catalog's last change.
  • Prices are the daily rates companies publish; a car without one has daily_price null ("Contact for price"), never an estimate.
