Car Rental MCC Codes

Brand Codes vs. the Generic Code

Most major international rental brands — Avis, Budget, Hertz, Sixt, and others — have their own dedicated MCC in this 3300–3499 range. But a lot of car-rental spend, especially with smaller Indian operators, actually lands on MCC 7512 (Automobile Rental Agency-Not Elsewhere Classified), which technically sits outside this range under Business Services.

That split matters for rewards: a card that only lists this 3300–3499 range as eligible for bonus travel points may not reward a booking made through a local rental agency coded under 7512, even though it's obviously the same kind of purchase.

This range sits alongside Airlines (3000–3299) and Lodging (3500–3999) as the three Travel & Entertainment ranges. See the full MCC code list to search all 914 codes, or read how MCC codes affect your credit card rewards.
