Self-inspect at return

The best way to defuse the AI-damage backlash: let the customer document the car themselves. A guided walkaround captures four angles, timestamped and geotagged, and hands back an instant clean-return proof — so there’s no surprise charge, and any later claim is checked against the customer’s own photos.

Why self-inspect wins

📷

Customer owns the evidence

Four timestamped, geotagged angles captured by the renter at drop-off — their word and the images.

⚡

Instant clean-return proof

A Lynxs clean-return receipt lands before they leave the lot — no waiting for a charge to appear.

🛡

Pre-empts the AI dispute

If a scanner later flags something, it’s checked against the customer’s own baseline — not billed blind.

📜

Both sides in TTDR

Self-inspection + any AI scan live in one record — fewer disputes, faster resolution, defensible either way.

Demonstration only — renters and photos are synthetic. Guided capture in the app; clean-return proof delivered by Lynxs; images + timestamps stored in TTDR; reconciles with Fair-AI-Damage and eClaims.
