Features & benefits of the expanded matrix

• Category - increased with the introduction of an `Elite' band for most existing categories.
• The `Elite' categories are designed to enable Car Rental companies to differentiate between standard and high-spec or luxury brand models of similar dimensions

Example:

• Oversize category has been added to cater for the `Hummer' type vehicles. Currently popular in North America but with growing demand elsewhere.
• Types - nine additional types have been added, including: Roadster, Coupe, Special Offer / Promotional
• The existing Type `F' has been changed from 4WD to SUV
• Fuel Type – with the ever increasing number of options available it has become necessary to have the ability to distinguish the fuel type, this is particularly true in regions whereby tax breaks apply to certain fuels. This element has been incorporated into the 4th character
• Drive – Due to demand, especially within North America, the ability to distinguish SUV's as 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, or ALL wheel drive has become a key issue. Consequently this has now been incorporated into the 3rd character. This enables improved consumer choice globally when making bookings.
• Passenger Vans – in the current matrix and Passenger Vans are classified using the same algorithm as regular cars whereby cost and volume determine the Category (1st character)
• In the new matrix, classification of the Passenger Vans Category (1st character) will be enhanced to identify passenger capacity, as per the chart below:
