Which rental-car photos to take and why
Wide views locate a mark; medium views show the panel; close views show surface detail. The strongest record contains all three when something needs emphasis.
Use eight exterior angles to cover panel joins and corners.
Add wheels, glass, roof, cabin, cargo, odometer and fuel/battery as separate slots.
Keep the camera level and include fixed vehicle features that establish location.
Retain imperfect but informative originals; add a clearer retake instead of overwriting.
