At booking or checkout, the renter photographs their license. OCR reads and validates the details in seconds.

### Match the face

A selfie is compared to the ID photo to confirm the person renting is who they claim to be.

3

### Score the risk

The agent weighs signals into a 0-100 risk score and flags anything suspicious for review.

### Approve or hold

Low-risk renters sail through; high-risk bookings are flagged before the asset ever leaves.
