Amadeus has introduced vehicle classification enhancements to its car rental distribution system.
The new codes are in line with recommendations by the Association of Car Rental Industry System Standards (ACRISS).
Use of the vehicle classification codes will allow travel agents to have a clearer classification system, according to the company.
Amadeus also implemented the introduction of “pseudo codes”, which reduce the amount of time an agent needs to spend searching within a specified group for vehicles such as vans or SUVs. New indicators have been incorporated into the display to clearly identify the search results that are exact matches to the search criteria, alternate vehicle availability and up-selling possibilities.
The company’s travel services and leisure managing director Albert Pozo said: “The Amadeus system today represents a comprehensive new range of vehicle classification codes which increases the choice and efficiency travel retailers and car rental suppliers need in serving travellers worldwide.”
