3 min lectura
Renting a car can be full of unknowns, particularly when it comes to avoiding being charged for damage you didn’t cause. This is where GoCertius comes in, offering a digital solution to legally certify the state of your rental car with photos and videos backed by a qualified time stamp that constitute digital evidence.
Use GoCertius for your rental car
- Get ready to certify:
Before starting the engine, download GoCertius and register as a user. This app will become your best friend, allowing you to create digital evidence with a qualified time stamp that offers robust legal protection.
- Certify the vehicle exterior:
In the parking lot, open the app and start to record a video of the car. Focus on every detail, particularly preexisting damage. GoCertius will ask you to save your geolocation, ensuring the veracity of the context in which the evidence is recorded.
- Certify the vehicle interior:
Don’t forget the inside. Repeat the process focusing on the seats, instrument panel and any element that could be disputed later. This step is crucial in order to document the complete state of the vehicle.
- Generate and use the certificate:
Once the evidence has been gathered, GoCertius will generate a digital certificate. This document, which can be sent directly to the rental company, serves as powerful proof of the initial condition of the vehicle.
- Repeat the process when returning the car:
At the end of the rental period, it is equally important to certify the condition in which you return the car. This step can save you complications by comparing the initial condition with the final condition of the car.
Legal value of the time stamp and digital evidence:
Using GoCertius to generate a qualified time stamp and create digital evidence establishes a legally recognized presumption of veracity. In the event of dispute, this technology reverses the burden of proof, helping you to more easily defend your rights.
