Installing without a script tag

Some website builders remove <script> tags from anything you paste. There is an iframe version of the widget for exactly that case — but read this first.

The search button does not work in the iframe version

The widget renders, your visitor can pick a city and dates, and then pressing the search button does nothing at all. No error, no new tab, no results.

This is not a configuration mistake and there is nothing you can paste to fix it. When someone searches, the widget asks the page around it to open the results — and only the embed.js script tag knows how to answer. In a bare iframe there is nothing listening, so the request goes nowhere.

Use the script tag wherever you possibly can. If your platform strips scripts, talk to RentX before you publish an iframe — do not put a search box in front of your visitors that cannot search.

If RentX has told you to use it

The snippets are below. They are also what the widget builder generates, so you may arrive here holding one already.

The bar

<iframe src="https://rentx.al/embed/search?embed=true&locale=en&partner=your-partner-id&linkId=homepage"
  title="RentX car rental search"
  width="100%" height="460" loading="lazy"
  style="border:0; display:block;"></iframe>

The panel

<iframe src="https://rentx.al/embed/search?embed=true&locale=en&partner=your-partner-id&linkId=homepage&layout=panel"
  title="RentX car rental search"
  width="100%" height="640" loading="lazy"
  style="border:0; display:block; min-width:300px;"></iframe>

What else changes

Height is fixed. With the script tag, the widget tells your page how tall it needs to be, and the frame grows when the calendar opens. An iframe cannot do that, so the heights above are deliberately generous — tall enough for an open calendar. That leaves some empty space below the widget when the calendar is closed. If you shrink the height to remove it, the calendar gets cut off.

The panel still needs its 300px minimum width.

Writing the URL

The options are the same as the script tag’s, but as query parameters, without the data- prefix, and in camelCase where the attribute has a dash:

Script attribute	Iframe parameter
data-rentx-partner	partner
data-car-type	carType
data-full-insurance	fullInsurance
data-source-id	sourceId
data-link-id	linkId
everything else	the same name without data-

Keep locale on the URL — it decides which language the visitor lands in. For anything other than English the language also goes in the path: https://rentx.al/it/embed/search?….

data-target has no iframe equivalent

It is the script tag that decides between a new tab and the same tab, so the setting does not exist here.
