A rental creates more than a booking.

Who drove, what they signed, what was held, what the car looked like. Without one system it is spread across phones, paper and message threads, and hardest to find on the day a car comes back damaged or a fine turns up weeks later.

One rental. One evidence trail.

Each step of the hire adds to the same record, in the order it happens.

18:02Booking: car, dates and the hirer's mobile. A clash warns you before you confirm.
18:03Hirer link: one private link. No app, no account.
Sun 8 Nov · 2 of 5

The hirer does not need another account.

One link from your firm takes them through the licence share code, photo ID, your agreement and the deposit. The hirer pays their own verification fee.

Six guided photos out, and again back.

A guided walk of named photos, each timestamped and fingerprinted when it is taken. The car is not marked on hire until a deposit is recorded and the full set is taken. You can go ahead anyway, and the override is written on the record.

Before and after, side by side.

The same photo set at return, so the car's condition out and back sits on one hire. Releasing a deposit cancels the hold, so the money never leaves the hirer's card. Keeping part of it needs a reason and a note.

The evidence behind the hire.

Closing the hire seals it. When a hirer, insurer or authority asks what happened, the answer is one record, not a search.

States its own gapsA missing item reads as missing, never as complete.
Shared on your termsA read-only insurer link that expires after 30 days. You can revoke it.

KeyProof keeps the evidence together. It does not decide who is at fault, and it is not insurance.

Illustrative record. Not a real hirer.

Built around the operator.

The same bookings, cars and records on the office screen and on the phone at the car.

Today shows what needs you.
The booking holds the hire.

Tenant separationOne firm cannot read another's hires. A request that tries is refused and logged.
Identity documentsID images stay with Stripe. KeyProof keeps only the result.
Evidence photosStored privately and served only after the request is checked.
ReleasesEvery release passes the full test suite before it deploys.

What operators ask first.

Do I need Stripe?
No. Take the deposit and the hire money your own way: cash, bank transfer or your own card machine. Or run them through the link, and they go to your own Stripe account and settle to your own bank. KeyProof never holds it.
What does my hirer pay, and what if they will not?
£4.99 for their own verification, paid on the link at check-in. If the check cannot be completed and they take the in-person route, it is refunded. You still decide whether the keys go: type a reason and the record says why.
Does it work with WhatsApp and Instagram bookings?
Yes. Keep taking bookings the way you do now. Enter the hire once and send the hirer their link in the chat you already use.
How do I get to my first hire?
A founder sets up your cars and your agreement with you, then walks you through your first hire.
Can I leave, and what happens to my records?
Monthly, with no minimum term: cancel any time, effective at the end of the month you have paid for. Cancelling ends a founding price for good. You have 30 days after the agreement ends to take your records out.

More straight answers: the hard questions.
