Car Type Codes

In Car Availability, Worldspan displays rental car types with four-letter codes to represent the features of the car.

A Car Type code combines four car features:

  • Car size
  • Car category
  • Transmission/Drive type
  • Fuel/Air conditioning

For example:

  • CDMR: compact, 4 – 5 door car, with manual transmission and air conditioning.
  • CBMN: 2-Door Compact Manual No Air.

Note: When you display a car availability, unique car type codes can appear in your response. To make it easier to shop and compare similar vehicles for multiple vendors, you may see equivalent codes like JEAD (Elite Intermediate/Coupe/Automatic/Diesel with Air Conditioning) and OJBR (Oversize/All Terrain/Automatic with 4-Wheel Drive/Air Conditioning) in the same response.
