Car hire verification in Birmingham.
Birmingham is motor-trade country. Many of the region's hire fleets run alongside a sales pitch, a bodyshop or a repair business, with the owner doing handovers personally between jobs. The checks have to be fast enough to happen in that gap, or they get skipped. KeyProof compresses them into one link sent before the hirer arrives.

No firm has signed yet, and that is what the founding cohort is for: £49 a month for life, any fleet size, and a direct line to the two founders instead of a support queue. Nothing on this page asks to be taken on trust: walk the whole product in the demo.

What Birmingham operators deal with, and what fixes it.
When the person releasing the car is also running the forecourt, verification competes with everything else for the same ten minutes. KeyProof moves the slow parts, ID, licence, agreement, deposit, to before arrival, so the physical handover is a face check and photos, not paperwork.
West Midlands prestige hire leans hard on weddings and events: the highest-value cars, the shortest hires, the most pressure to release quickly. A booking taken Thursday for a Saturday wedding is exactly when a firm skips checks, and exactly when a verified record matters most. The product stops you skipping on any hire: a named nine-shot condition set, front and rear, both sides, both alloys, interior, dashboard and odometer, roof, has to be complete before the car can be marked out, and again when it comes back.
Motor-trade operators extend trust on instinct, and mostly it works, until the damage dispute where "he seemed sound" is the whole file. Timestamped condition photos at handover and return end the argument the way instinct cannot.
One link in the chat. One record per hire.
KeyProof works the same in Birmingham as everywhere in the UK, because it lives in the chat your bookings already use. The hirer opens one link and verifies their photo ID against a live selfie, supplies the code for a DVLA licence check you complete, signs your agreement and photographs the car’s condition, with the same again at return. You get one timestamped record instead of a scattered thread: the full flow is on the product page. Every hire asks for more before the car moves: a named nine-shot condition set that has to be complete before the car can be marked out, extra terms the hirer initials one by one, and a deposit on the record, with a higher default settable per car. How prestige fleets use it.
