Car rental operations software inspection photo guide

This guide standardizes inspection photos so you capture clean evidence without slowing down handoffs.

Exterior angles to capture

  • Front, rear, left, and right at 45 degrees.
  • Close-ups of bumpers, mirrors, and wheels.
  • Any area with pre-existing damage.

Interior vs exterior

  • Exterior: focus on panels, glass, lights, and wheels.
  • Interior: dashboard, seats, cargo area, and any stains or wear.

Mileage, fuel, and tires

  • Odometer with date/time visible if possible.
  • Fuel gauge clearly framed.
  • Tire tread close-ups when wear is relevant.

Video vs photos

  • Photos are the default for consistent evidence.
  • Use a short video only when multiple damages need context.
  • Keep video under 30 seconds and steady.
