Client
I am looking to rent a car with automatic transmission at Gibraltar Airport. My flight will land at 20.35 at night, meaning I won't be able to pick up the car until after 21.00. Is it possible to book something to match this criteria?
Agent
I can see you made a search and saw results (cars). These cars are available. Is 21:00 hours the desired pick up time or will you arrive later?
Client
My flight arrives at 20.35, so I think the earliest I will be able to pick up is 21.15, assuming the flight is not delayed
Agent
I tried for you 21:30 and the website show results...so no problem. Also, insert the flight number if you are asked for.
Client
OK, I will insert my flight number. The car also must be automatic transmission
Agent
Normally (if automatic is available) there is a transmission filter at the left hand side of the page...it seems Auromatic is not available with any supplier based on your search criteria....So manual is your only option.

Extra information re Gibraltar:-

Enter the text “Gibraltar” only into the search engine and choose the location with the Gibraltar flag. You will see all suppliers both Gibraltar side and Spanish side (La Linea de la Concepcion). ONLY AVIS and BUDGET are located at the terminal of Gibraltar Airport. All the other suppliers are based just across the border (walkable). So if you choose any other suppliers than Avis and Budget your confirmation voucher will provide the precise address in La Linea. Also, for your information, any cars collected at Gibraltar Airport will be Spanish plated and can be driven across the border.
