Guillaume - hi - there will be a number of suppliers at the conference that will be able to give you some really great insights. Broadly, there are a couple of different ways of approaching this. The first is tying up with a number of the major car rental companies (Avis, Hertz and the like) and then integrating that into various parts of your website.

The other route is to tie up with the likes of CarTrawler (who are also at the conference) who act like a broker and will give you access to a number of different suppliers.

If you come and chat with me at the conference I can give you some independent figures about commission percentages as well as some of the marketing best practices.
