  • Publication number: 20220318759
    Abstract: A method and system for efficiently scheduling vehicle test drives is disclosed. A user of an application can search for vehicles at nearby dealerships. Upon receiving the search results, the user can easily remove undesired vehicles from the list. After removing all undesired vehicles from the list, the user can request test drive scheduling for all the vehicles via a single interface. The system may then communicate with vendors to determine test drive appointment availability and present the user with only dates for which there are available appointments for all of the vehicles. The system may allow a user to select appointment times from a drop-down menu. The system may also generate an optimized schedule by considering the distances between vendors, estimated duration of each appointment, and a starting location for the user.
