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.

At check-in: £4.99 verification fee, £180.00 hire price, £500.00 deposit hold
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.

Left side 3 of 6The full left side, both wheels in.
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.
Each angle at hand over and at return.

Closing the hire seals it. When a hirer, insurer or authority asks what happened, the answer is one record, not a search.
KeyProof keeps the evidence together. It does not decide who is at fault, and it is not insurance.

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.
