These often can\u2019t be booked specifically but below are the cans and cants when it comes to hiring a car with specific requests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most suppliers use <a href=\"https:\/\/thealternativeagency.co.uk\/indigo\/faq\/what-are-sipp-codes\/\" title=\"SIPP Codes\">SIPP codes<\/a> when listing their fleet, which are the industry standard for determining the kind of car that is being rented. They comprise of 4 letters that designate size, type, transmission and a\/c, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><strong>Make\/Model<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Car hire suppliers have a varied fleet of vehicles meaning it is difficult to guarantee a specific make or model of vehicle. We can only book a \u2018type\u2019 of vehicle, meaning if you book a vehicle Such as a \u2018Volkswagen Golf or similar\u2019 there are a number of vehicles that fit this \u2018or similar\u2019 tag, such as: Vauxhall Astra, Ford Focus, Audi A3 or Hyundai I30. All of which are midsize hatchbacks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Colour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Often people want to hire a car in a specific colour, rental cars are for the most part in very basic colours e.g black, silver, grey and so on. If you want a specific colour you often aren\u2019t guaranteed it, however if say the colour you request is in stock depending on the car hire supplier you use they will request a colour for you, but for the most part this is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fuel Type<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the whole there is no guarantee when it comes to choosing Diesel or Petrol, however with some select suppliers you can specify certain fuel types with as its part of what they sell to you like diesel hire cars being more expensive or something along those lines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Transmission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your choice between manual and automatic is certain, even if you\u2019re car doesn\u2019t fit any of the criteria previously the one thing that can be confirmed 100% is the transmission when you choose between manual or automatic you should always get your choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Engine Size<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can\u2019t specify the engine because there is no guarantee you will get the engine size that you specifically want. When you book a car, you book it within a range like a mid-ranged vehicle but that has no reflection on the engine size. Vehicles are usually grouped in a range of engine size, so a small city car would usually be between 1.0 and 1.2 litre, while a large family saloon would usually be between a 1.8 and 2.2 Litre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most popular questions we get asked is, How Specific Can I Be When Choosing My Hire Car?
