Stop sales refers to the act of blocking the booking of certain vehicles or hotel rooms on distribution channels for a specified period. It is used mainly in the car rental and hotel industries. A stop-sale may be applied because the service is already fully booked, but companies also use it strategically by keeping only their most profitable channels open.
In the Car Rental Gateway Office Interface, the tool allows brokers to suspend the sale of specific types of rental vehicles from particular suppliers at designated branches, locations or countries for defined periods. Brokers manage these restrictions themselves directly through the interface.
