Car Rental Groups Explained

You probably know that when you book a car with any car hire company you generally don’t book a specific model. Same applies fro IzziRent.com price comparison site.

 By international standards the IzziRent.com car reservation system enables reservation of a vehicle group, not a specific vehicle brand. When you are choosing a vehicle in our reservation system, each vehicle type is marked by the “or similar” designation, meaning that you will receive a vehicle from the group that you have selected.
Whenever you are looking and booking car rental online with IzziRent.com you will always see 4 letter codes in car offers, that can tell you a lot if you know the designations of every letter.
