Car hire verification in London.
London runs the busiest informal hire scene in the country: prestige and everyday fleets booked over Instagram and WhatsApp, keys handed to hirers the operator has never met. The bookings are real; the paper trail usually is not. KeyProof puts the checks into the same chat the booking came from.

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 London operators deal with, and what fixes it.
A London prestige fleet hands six figures of metal to strangers every weekend. When one car does not come back, the difference between a police case and a dead end is whether you verified who actually took it: photo ID matched to a live selfie, not a name in a DM thread.
In London the charges keep arriving weeks after the hire: ULEZ, the congestion charge, bus-lane and parking PCNs, all addressed to the registered keeper. Recharging them to the hirer needs a signed agreement naming a verified person with dates that match. Without one, the fines are simply yours.
Instagram is London's rental shopfront, and it is exactly where the paper trail dies. KeyProof does not fight that: the operator drops one link into the DM, and identity, licence, agreement, deposit and condition photos all happen inside the booking conversation the hirer already opened.
One link in the chat. One record per hire.
KeyProof works the same in London 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.
