Association of Car Rental Industry Systems and Standards
Industry Standard Car Classification Code:
ACRISS has developed an industry standard vehicle matrix
to define car groups ensuring a like to like comparison
of standards across countries. This easy-to-use matrix
consists of four categories. Each position in the four
character vehicle code represents a definable characteristic
of the vehicle. The expanded vehicle matrix makes it
possible to have 400 vehicle types. GDS car codes are
created by selecting one character of each column and
combining them into a four-character car code:
e.g. : CCMN = Compact Car - 2/4 Door - Manual Transmission - Non
air-conditioned
