Thanks!
Hi
As a Hertz employee I can explain these:
These four letter codes are ACRISS codes, predominantly used by the travel industry to determine an international industry standard vehicle guide to define car groups ensuring uniformity.The matrix is made up of four categories. Each of the four characters in the vehicle code represents a definable characteristic of the vehicle. Travel Industry car codes are created by selecting one character of each column and combining them into a four-character car code. Still with me on this one??
Heres the basics one's:
CLASS
M Mini
E Economy
C Compact
I Intermediate
S Standard
F Full-Size
P Premium
S Sport
L Luxury
T Convertible
X Special
TYPE
B 2-Door
D 4-Door
C 2/4-Door Car
W Wagon/Estate
Van (passenger)
TRANSMISSION AIR COND.
A Automatic R Yes
M Manual N No
So a Ford Focus 4 door Manual with A/C would be: CDMR
Hope this helps!
