Contactless Rental Pickup and Return

A practical guide to digital collection, authorised vehicle access, inspections and vehicle returns.

What rental operators need to consider

Rental operators can combine customer verification, digital agreements, authorised vehicle access, inspection evidence and return processes through an integrated digital rental journey.

Assess compatibility with your existing rental management system, vehicle types, customer journeys and local requirements. Hardware-dependent functions are available on selected vehicles and configurations only.

How a digital rental workflow helps

Before collection

Give customers a mobile route to provide documents, complete appropriate identity checks and review rental terms.

During the rental

Support authorised vehicle access, customer assistance and available vehicle intelligence in one coordinated journey.

At return

Guide vehicle condition capture, record return information and manage exceptions with an auditable process.

Questions to ask before choosing a solution

Can it integrate with your booking and rental software? Does it support the vehicles in your fleet? How are customer identity, privacy, damage evidence and after-hours support handled? Which features are available now versus planned?
