About

carseal

Features

carseal gives you independent, tamper-evident proof of your rental car's condition — so you're never charged for damage that wasn't yours. Before you drive off, do a guided 90-second walk-around scan. carseal seals every photo with a cryptographic hash and a trusted, independent timestamp, then stores it so it can't be altered later. Do the same at drop-off, and carseal compares pickup vs. return panel by panel — showing what's genuinely new versus what was already there. If the rental company charges you for pre-existing damage, carseal turns your sealed evidence into a one-tap dispute: a rebuttal letter, a card chargeback packet, or an insurance submission — each citing your timestamped proof and a public verification link anyone can check. WHY CARSEAL • Guided walk-around at pickup and return — about 90 seconds each • Every photo SHA-256 hashed, independently timestamped, and GPS-tagged • Tamper-evident: sealed evidence can't be edited after the fact • AI before/after comparison that flags only genuinely new damage • A shareable Return Certificate with a public verify link and QR • One-tap dispute, chargeback, and insurance packets HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan at pickup — seal the car's exact condition before you drive. 2. Scan at return — capture the condition at drop-off. 3. Let carseal compare — new vs. pre-existing damage, panel by panel. 4. Share the certificate — a verifiable PDF and link. 5. Dispute if charged — generate your evidence-backed claim in one tap. Protection is sold as in-app "protection credits" — one credit covers a single car (pickup + return + report). carseal is independent and works for you, the renter — not the rental company.
