Unexpected damage and vehicle accidents are one of the biggest friction points in vehicle rental. With RentalMatics, impact events are automatically captured so you’ll know the exact time, location, force and direction of impact, removing the grey area from handovers and claims.

Detect damage. Reduce disputes. Reclaim control.
RentalMatics provides a transformational way to protect your fleet.

Speed up insurance claims with data that doesn’t lie

Our revolutionary trackers use many data points to instantly generate detailed reports that give you the whole picture — even before the customer returns the vehicle. The data doesn’t lie, so the report removes disputes, reduces fraud, and uncovers hidden damages.

With less unnecessary negotiation between parties, insurance companies can settle claims much faster. You save time and money, and pass these savings on to your customers.

Our trackers are your rental fleet’s ‘guardian angel’. You’ll get instant notifications by SMS or email, so the claim or damage recovery process starts at the moment of impact.

What our clients say:

We get an email as soon as there’s an impact… so we know if our vehicle has been in a crash. Without RentalMatics we couldn’t prove who was at fault in an accident. It has helped us to win cases because now we can show the evidence.

Accident Reconstruction Data

When a vehicle impact happens, the car rental company needs to determine who is at fault, in order to process insurance claims and potential costs arising from damage. Conflicting accounts from the involved parties creates a challenge in establishing liability. The company wants to ensure their customer is treated fairly and not held liable for an accident that they didn’t cause.

This is where RentalMatics ‘Impact Reports’ come into play. The report provides the location and bearing of the crash, which could prove critical during the investigative procedure and subsequent insurance claims process. Impact date, time, location, vehicle information and severity assessment are all recorded.

Accelerometer data is visualised in charts to pinpoint the impact location (front, rear, side) and the intensity of the collision.

The RentalMatics speed chart clearly illustrates the vehicle speed in the moments before and after the crash.

Detect damage. Reduce disputes. Protect your bottom line.

Capture 360 telematics damage detection

AI-Powered Damage Detection

Leverage the latest in AI-technology to check for damage sustained during a rental. Our Capture 360 solution uses AI to analyse photos taken of the vehicle pre-rental, to those taken post-rental, highlighting the area where suspected damage has occurred.

A time-stamped visual record of the vehicle, pre and post rental, is captured on our platform. Capture 360 simplifies and standardises the vehicle inspection process. No more unclear damage assessments. Just one easy process that creates a full, photographic record of every vehicle, every time.

Whether you’re preparing a vehicle for rent or assessing its condition on return, Capture 360 ensures every inspection is consistent, complete and backed by visual proof.

Vehicles Damaged by Extreme Weather?

RentalMatics weather mapping analyses meteorological data to identify severe weather risks in places where your fleet is located. Those extreme weather patterns are mapped to your live vehicle clusters, allowing you to identify high-risk vehicles that may have been in the path of a severe weather event.

Our reports can show how severe the impact was – even the estimated size of hail they may have encountered. This is next-level damage detection in telematics and allows for immediate follow-up actions, such as deep-inspection of specific vehicles, notifying drivers, or filing claims.

What are the benefits of our Damage Detection & Accident Reconstruction Reports?

OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE:

  • The RentalMatics report provides unbiased, timestamped data about the crash: Including location, speed, force, and impact angle.

  • Accident reconstruction tools help clarify what happened, when, and who was behind the wheel.

  • Remove ambiguity and protect your team with independent data, not just customer accounts or manual notes.

FASTER CLAIMS PROCESSING:

  • Real-time incident alerts and detailed logs streamline communication with insurers and legal teams.

  • Liability is easier to assess, meaning faster decisions and quicker payouts or resolutions.

  • Minimise the administrative burden on staff and get damaged vehicles back on the road faster.

IMPROVED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE:

  • Respond quickly to incidents and offer immediate support to renters, especially when they’re not at fault.

  • Transparency builds trust: customers appreciate evidence-backed explanations, not finger-pointing.

  • A smoother check-in/check-out process reduces friction and enhances overall satisfaction.

BETTER RISK MANAGEMENT:

  • Spot patterns in driving behaviour, damage locations, or high-risk routes across your fleet.

  • Use damage data to flag repeat offenders and identify training needs or policy gaps.

  • Prevent future incidents with targeted interventions and smarter asset deployment.

Never miss damage again

Every vehicle in your fleet can be a source of truth. Our platform detects and logs damage events automatically, proving what really happened.

Traditional damage checks are manual, inconsistent and easy to miss. With RentalMatics, damage detection is automated, timestamped, and trackable, giving you a complete picture from start to finish.

When a vehicle returns with unexpected damage, the blame game begins. RentalMatics eliminates the uncertainty by logging every bump, scrape or impact in real-time. You’ll know exactly when and where damage occurred, even if the customer doesn’t report it.

That means fewer disputes, faster resolutions, and no more relying on memory or paperwork.
