Some of the properties listed don't seem relevant to my location or part of the world. What should I do?

Just omit the property when you don't have data about it or do not need the information.

A community member in North America raised several examples of properties that didn't seem relevant to his location. One example is acrissCode. ACRISS is used in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and respective data can be valuable in rental car mark-up in those markets.

Another example is roofLoad, which may be more important in some markets such as Europe than in others.

It is a principle of schema.org to provide properties that may not be applicable in all contexts, i.e. the existence of this property does not imply they must or should be used. They are simply an option.
