Have you been charged for car rental damage you didn’t cause? One of the most annoying parts of renting a car is the inspection. When a person is in a hurry to catch a flight, checking the car for damage at the rental lot can seem to take forever. As a result, customers are wary, car rentals lose millions of dollars each year in undetected damages​ and, on average, they​ waste 100+ hours/month​ in inspecting cars. Comes in, the AI-powered super car scanner developed by ProovStation.

ProovStation: Fully transparent and straightforward car inspection, no scam!

From dents, dings or scratches, obtaining a full damage report using the top-notch ProovStation scanner requires nothing more than driving through it​. Pre-checkout, 300 “before images” are saved and can be used in claims if needed. After drop-off, relevant damages are identified, pertinent ones are classified, and data is linked to previous scans to ensure new damages are flagged. Customers benefit from an accurate, fair and transparent vehicle inspection process. And, for the car rental company, this means improving the flow in & out of their site and saving hundreds of hours per month of time spent in inspection or liability discussions that dealers can dedicated to other high value-added tasks. It’s a win-win!

Gabriel Tissandier, co-founder and GM of ProovStation, adds:

“ We are proud to launch our new CarStation. Our goal is to transform the car rental experience in the United States with a simple, fast, transparent and innovative service. The international launch of CarStation is a sign of recognition and demonstrates the relevance of our service and technology in this market.”
