In order for the customer to be able to choose the category of vehicle that suits him best, there are a large number of categories and they are divided according to vehicle type, body type, luggage compartment size, according to the most common purpose for which the vehicle is intended or other specifications.

The main advantages of renting a vehicle category for a customer are the following:

1. When a customer rents a vehicle category, it never happens that a vehicle from that category is not available. In this way, car rental can be flexible. In practice, it often happens that the lessee extends the rental period in front of you, or other circumstances arise, due to which it is not possible to rent the originally reserved model of the vehicle.
2. Vehicle categories are so specific that the customer will not have the slightest problem finding a vehicle category that suits him.
3. Car rental capacities can be used much more efficiently, which is reflected in the final price for the customer.
4. So if you need, for example, a specific luxury vehicle, very urgently, this can be a problem. However, if you rent any vehicle in this category, you can be sure that you will get it almost immediately and probably at a better price.
5. If a vehicle from a specific category is not available, the car rental company will offer you a vehicle from a higher category under the same conditions.

To better understand the assignment of vehicles to categories, here are some of the main categories of vehicles you will encounter when renting:

As in the case of Rentalport, the above-mentioned vehicle categories can be further divided into subcategories. The subcategory mainly defines the type of manual / automatic transmission and the type of bodywork most often seats / combi / SUV. Choosing the right category is even easier thanks to this logical division.

When renting a car, ask yourself a few basic questions to help you decide which vehicle category to choose.
This is especially:
How long the route you are going?
How many people will travel with you?
How big your luggage is?
Where you are going?
What is the purpose of your trip and whether you have to overcome more demanding terrain or weather conditions along the way.

These criteria will be your simple help to choose the category that suits you.

Now you know exactly what a vehicle category is. It is therefore not a question of any introduction, but rather of simplifying the method of booking a car for rent for the customer.
