The Association of Car Rental Industry Systems Standards (ACRISS) is an industry body for car rental companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Amongst the standards produced by ACRISS is the Car Classification Code.
ACRISS was formed in 1989 by Avis, Budget, Europcar and Hertz. [1] In 1992, ACRISS was reconstituted as a European economic interest grouping. [2]
Current ACRISS members include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, Maggiore, Blacklane, Car Rental Gateway, Amadeus, fr:Karhoo, GroundScope, Rentalcars.com, Sabre, TaxiTender, Travelport, Mycab, National Car Rental, Payless, Dollar, Discover Cars, Travelport. [3]
The objectives of ACRISS are "to develop clear common standards for Car Rental services and Transfers (Vehicle with Driver Service Industry) in Europe, Middle East & Africa." [2] [4] ACRISS has developed standardised codes for classifying cars (including the optional equipment that is fitted), optional extras, airport locations and locations in general. [5]
The car classification code has been created to allow car rental companies to communicate the characteristics of a car using a standardised system, in order to prevent misleading information when booking a rental car. [4] The code describes the category, body style, transmission, driven wheels ( FWD, RWD or AWD), fuel type (or electric/hybrid vehicle) and whether air-conditioning is fitted. [6] [7] [8] [9]
