ACRISS car code is a four-character standard used to classify rental vehicles, enabling customers to compare vehicles ‘like for like’. The Expanded Matrix, introduced to reflect changes in vehicle design, supports up to 400 vehicle types.
Each ACRISS code consists of four letters which represent the following qualities: the vehicle category, vehicle type/body, transmission/drive, and fuel/air-conditioning.
For the EMEA region, ACRISS issues a monthly car codes list that defines which car codes can be used for various car makes and models.
For the Middle-East and Africa, ACRISS issues an annual car codes list.
As of October 2018, ACRISS does not cover other parts of the world, but there are plans to start coding fleet for Australia and New Zealand, North America and Latin-America.
In September 2025, a list of codes covering Australia and New Zealand was published.
In the Car Rental Gateway system, every car has an ACRISS car code assigned to it.
