“That mark was already there” ends here.
A damage dispute usually turns on what the car looked like when the keys moved. A tick-box diagram and memory is a weak answer to that question. Timestamped photographs from both ends of the hire make the dispute a comparison instead of an argument.

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.

Photos at both ends. Timestamped in between.
Deliberately the hirer, not you: it is their chance to check the car before driving off, it protects them from being blamed for existing damage, and it means the handover set is one neither side can later call one-sided.
Not a freeform gallery. Every hire runs a named nine-shot set: front, rear, both sides, both alloys, interior, dashboard and odometer, roof. The car cannot be marked out until the set is complete, on every car and every plan.
The return check is yours: the same nine shots again, and the return set lands next to the handover set, both timestamped. New damage shows up in the comparison, side by side with the handover set.
KeyProof never judges damage. It puts the before and after in front of you, and the call stays yours: release the deposit on a clean return, or hold it with the proof already in hand.
Because both ends capture the same named angles, the comparison is like for like instead of against whatever anyone happened to point a camera at. The hirer also initials the hire terms one by one before they can sign, on every hire. How supercar fleets use it.
Condition photos sit alongside the verified identity, the DVLA share code and when you checked it, the e-signed agreement and the deposit record: one exportable pack per hire, ready for an insurer on the day something goes wrong.
Camera rolls lose disputes. Records win them.
Most operators already take photos. The problem is where they live: scattered across a camera roll, undated in any provable way, mixed in with everything else, and impossible to tie to a specific hire and a specific hirer months later. A condition record only has value if it is bound to the booking, the identity and the agreement, which is exactly what KeyProof does. The product is pre-launch, being built for a founding cohort of UK hire firms rather than by one: see the full flow in the demo or read how it works.
Every handover documented.
Every dispute shorter.
