At GRiDD Technologies, we understand the importance of seamless communication and efficient operations in the ground transportation industry. To address the challenges of vehicle type matching between partners, we’ve developed a standardized list of vehicle types. This standardization ensures clear communication and smooth operations when partners exchange reservations.

Why Standardization Matters

In the diverse world of ground transportation, what constitutes a “Luxury SUV” can vary significantly between operators. For instance, one company might classify a Lincoln Navigator as a Luxury SUV, while another might reserve that designation for a Bentley. These discrepancies can lead to confusion and potential service mismatches when partners share reservations.

Our standardized vehicle types aim to eliminate this ambiguity, providing a common language for all partners in the GRiDD network.

New Additional Vehicle Types

  1. SEDAN_ECONOMY: This category represents economy class sedans, such as Toyota Camry or Corolla type vehicles. It caters to customers looking for cost-effective, reliable transportation without compromising on comfort.
  2. VAN_MINI_ECONOMY: This new type covers economy class minivans. These vehicles offer more space than standard sedans but at a more accessible price point, ideal for small groups or families on a budget.
  3. VAN_MINI_LUXURY: Recognizing the growing demand for upscale group transportation, this category includes luxury minivans. These vehicles combine spaciousness with high-end amenities, perfect for corporate groups or special occasions.
  4. VAN_SHARED_RIDE: This addition reflects the rising popularity of ride-sharing services. It represents vans used for shared rides, accommodating multiple passengers heading in the same direction, often at a reduced per-person cost.

These new categories enhance our ability to precisely match vehicle types across partners, ensuring even greater accuracy in reservation fulfillment and customer satisfaction.
