Rental-car return inspection checklist
Return in enough time to repeat the pickup positions before handing over keys. Capture final mileage and energy level, the parking location context and any handover record offered.
Use the pickup reference to reproduce each view without forcing perfect alignment.
Document dirt, rain or glare that limits comparison rather than interpreting it as damage.
Complete photographs before locking or surrendering access to the vehicle.
Preserve the completed return set and download outputs while the details are fresh.
