Abstract: The present teachings generally relate to systems and methods for capturing and storing images that relate to the condition of a motor vehicle at two different times, e.g., the condition of a rental motor vehicle before it is removed from a rental agency and after it is returned to the agency. In some aspects, the systems and methods described herein can allow a rental agent to quickly capture the condition of a car with a time and location stamp to ensure that mileage, fuel level, and/or damage is recorded and stored for review and/or comparison with previous or later acquired images and review the images for charges to be assessed to the customer in an efficient and reliable manner. Although various aspects of the invention are discussed herein with reference to rental motor vehicles, the invention can have broader applicability, e.g., for use in valet services, rental of boats, motorcycles, etc.
