Document it
In the return wizard, describe the damage and upload photos taken with the phone camera.
When a rental comes back damaged, staff photograph it, describe it and add a damage charge in the return wizard. The charge needs a return photo, anything above the deposit needs a manager, and the customer is emailed the amount and the reason.
In the return wizard, describe the damage and upload photos taken with the phone camera.
Add the damage amount alongside any late, fuel or cleaning charge. A damage charge needs at least one return photo, and one above the deposit needs a manager.
The customer gets an email with the amount and the reason, and can reply within seven days to dispute it.
Staff record a dispute on the charge, and only a manager can void it.
Take the charge by card with the customer present, cash, check, bank transfer or ACH, or capture all or part of the deposit hold with a reason.
The charge, any dispute, void and collection are written to the booking’s activity history.
