Whats the difference in car class at Alamo?

[etsellis]

Hi,

Just wondering if any of you fine ppl can explain to me the difference in car classes?

We are wanting a 4x4 (SUV), last time we went in 2011 we had a Mazda CX9 and loved it, we are wanting similar next time we go but want to know what class we need to order... is it me or is it quite confusing? lol

The full size suv I think have 7 seats, the standard and intermediate have 5.

The mazda cx9 has 5 seats doesn't it? so I guess it would be standard or intermediate.

Isn't the standard and intermediate the same car class though?

Standard will have 7 seats - think Hyundai Santa Fe

Full Size - think Chevy Tahoe - will be bigger but won't have more than 7/8 seats

Intermediate - think Ford Escape (Kuga) - will have 5 Seats

Unfortunately the car rental firms will mix the classes or give you a lower grade car if they can get away with it

Get to know the ACRISS/SIPP codes for what you want/paid for

PS Alamo, Enterprise and National are all the same company

You may get a 7 seater, but Standard is 5 seats. Cars like Jeep Grand Cherokee, GMC Terrain.

Have had 7 Seater Santa Fe, 7 seater Chevy Traverse as Standard SUVs. SFAR The Kia Sorrento and Nissan Pantsfinder and Ford Explorer listed on the National website are 7 seaters too - also SFAR

To my knowledge the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport has 5 Seats and Jeep Cherokee Latitude (Not Grand version) has 5 seats. the Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape also have 5 seats

These are Intermediate IFAR

Have a look at the SUV tab at: alamo/en_US/car-rental/cars.html

It doesn't really matter unless you must have more than 5 seats as the actual vehicle sizes have all become very similar.

one thing i found useful was to research the cars that can potentially be there and then look at the cars website for the specs

for example if you get a chevvy - look for the words AWD (means its a 4 wheel drive) and LTZ - LTZ indicates that it is the highest spec car that they do in the range (it goes from LS / LT / LTZ) - the higher the spec the better features a car will have (like bluetooth / sat nav etc)
