Car rental companies around the world use codes that classify all types of rental vehicles into fixed groups - in professional terms, the ACRISS car classification code.
The classification consists of 4 letters, and each letter describes a feature of the rental vehicle. The first letter, which you see in search results or on your rental voucher, indicates the size of the car. It is followed by the number of doors, the transmission type and air conditioning.
* The term "Elite" was chosen by ACRISS for a vehicle category that is superior to another category with the same body size. The difference between the two vehicles may be in price, engine size, performance, extras, features or any combination of these.
Unfortunately, rental companies cannot always guarantee a specific make or model. When you book, you book a car category, not a specific car. Suppliers may have alternatives in their fleet, or a car may have been returned late or been in an accident. That is why we mention "or similar" next to every available vehicle.
When you book a car, companies show a specific model to indicate the type of car you will get. You do not book a specific model such as a Ford Fiesta - you book a category based on the type of car.
Suppose you booked a "VW Polo or similar" but received a Dacia Logan. According to SIPP, the VW Polo and the Dacia Logan are broadly similar and therefore interchangeable. That does not mean they are exactly the same.
The factors taken into account when classifying and grouping vehicles include size, number of doors, transmission, fuel consumption, air conditioning and level of luxury. Brand reputation, engine size, top speed, torque and appearance are not taken into account.
