Importance Of Barcoding In Car Rental Agencies

Car rental agencies use many techniques to provide rental car security at the airport terminals. Barcoding systems are one among them. Whenever a vehicle leaves from the terminal, a guard scans ID barcode on each car with a barcode scanner. The location of car at the terminal, time and date is noted at the time of scanning.

The agencies have drivers who drive the cars from one terminal to other terminal to deliver inventory with demand. Each driver is provided with an ID badge with a barcode. When the driver is running a car from the terminal, the ID badge on the car and the driver's ID badge is scanned. Now the destination is interpreted into the scanner. Every day the scanners are programmed into a computer, supplying the agency with complete information of all car movements, driver ID, and data. This operation records and reports on nearly 100,000 transactions per month.
