Vehicle Mapping

Vehicle Mapping included in the Availability response payload, acts as a unique reference used to categorize vehicle groups. It supports consistent mapping across different locales, enabling effective integration."

**Review Hoppa Vehicle Classes**

Refer to the documentation to understand each vehicle class (e.g., Business, MPV, First Class, Minibus, Limo, Shuttles). Focus on definitions based on comfort, use case, passenger capacity, and typical vehicle models or equivalents. For more details, you can also refer to Hoppa’s Fleet Overview.

**Create a Mapping Matrix**

Map your local vehicle types to the closest Hoppa vehicle classes by comparing key attributes such as passenger capacity, luggage volume, comfort level, and vehicle type (e.g., sedan, van).

**Validate Class Compatibility**

Collaborate with Hoppa’s team to resolve any ambiguous mappings. Ensure alignment with Hoppa’s regional availability and naming conventions, and validate the mapping logic for uncommon or edge-case vehicle types.

**Implement in Integration Layer**

Incorporate the mapping logic into your backend integration layer. Ensure that each quote and booking API request correctly translates your local vehicle class into the corresponding Hoppa-compatible class parameter.

**Logging & Auditing**

Log all mapping events, including both successful mappings and exceptions. This facilitates debugging of incorrect bookings, monitoring of mapping-related issues, and effective handling of customer service inquiries.

**Continuous Review**

Regularly review and update your vehicle class mappings to account for changes such as: • New vehicles added to your fleet • New vehicle classes introduced by Hoppa • Updates to classification rules or regional shifts in vehicle categorization
