Updating Permitted Car Types Follow
Most Global Distribution System (GDS) use an industry-standard matrix of car type codes to define car models and ensure a like-to-like comparison of vehicles.
In Emburse Book, you can update the existing list of car types a company’s users can rent. To override the list of car types available in users’ travel preferences, add or edit the Car Type Categories codes for that company.
This article shows you, a TMC Administrator, how to add and update a company’s car codes using the Car Type Categories screen.
Please Note: When working from a Travel Management Company on behalf of a company using Emburse Book, be sure to first select a SYSOPADMIN in the company you are going to Edit. This ensures you are editing and testing policy of the selected company.
