Hi all!
I`m wondering what the so called ACRISS Code related to rental cars means?
I`ll appreciates any support for clarification and definition of the ACRISS Code.
Thx!

Welcome in the forum @Mountain-High ! 
As far as the Acriss Code is concerned I can say that the code has four letters representing attributes of a vehicle.
First of all the the first letter in the sequence refers to the general car category which is based on price and convenience (i.e. economy vs. luxury). The second letter stands for the actual vehicle type. Then the third letter describes the transmission and drive, like automatic, manual or 4WD. Last but not least there is a fourth one which provides information in terms of special features installed in the vehicle, i.e. air conditioning or fuel type.

If I understand the ratio of an ACRISS code correctly then PFAR from Sixt means "Premium SUV with Automatic Transmission and Air Conditioning". Correct?
