SnapProof started with a $1,400 damage email for a scratch that was already on the car. The renter had photos — but at the wrong angle, in the wrong light — so they couldn't prove it. We thought that was a fixable problem.
The problem with pickup photos
Everyone knows to "take photos at pickup." But random photos rarely help. On return, the angle is different, the light has changed, and a scratch either hides or seems to appear out of nowhere. Paper damage charts are worse — subjective and easy to wave away. The evidence just doesn't hold up when it matters.
What SnapProof does differently
SnapProof's ghost overlay traces the edges of your original pickup photo and floats them over your live camera on return. You line the car up to the outline and shoot — so both frames are captured from the same angle, same distance, every time. Because the two are pixel-aligned, AI can subtract one from the other and flag exactly what's new, with a confidence score. You walk away with a timestamped, GPS-tagged, signed PDF.
Who it's for
Anyone who hires and doesn't want to gamble on a surprise damage bill — solo travellers, families on holiday, business renters, tradies, and the fleets that want a fair, tamper-evident record for everyone. And not just cars: SnapProof has guided panel sets for motorbikes, trucks, trailers, caravans and motorhomes too.
What it costs
Simple pricing: $5 per scan (one full pickup-and-return inspection), or $95 a month for unlimited scans across every vehicle type. No lock-in. One avoided excess charge pays for years of it.
Where we're at
SnapProof is live on the web today and has been submitted to Google Play, with the Apple App Store version close behind — both launching in 2026. Built in Melbourne, for renters everywhere.
