Record what was visible immediately before handback. Start with the whole vehicle, then show bodywork, wheels and glass, and the cabin in a repeatable route.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
Film the vehicle from wide front and side views in steady light. Record registration and odometer in report fields rather than relying on video text.
The hatchback's visible exterior is shown at the example collection bay.
Move slowly along the accessible body panels and locate a visible mark within its surrounding panel. Avoid guessing when it occurred.
A small scuff is visible near the lower front bumper area.
Show each accessible wheel in location context, then the visible glass. Record marks without estimating their size from video alone.
The front-left wheel and nearby glazing are shown; a light rim mark may need an in-person check.
Show the accessible seat, footwell and door trim in a steady sweep. Avoid filming personal possessions or another person's information.
The passenger-side seat, trim and footwell are visible in the example clip.
Identify the vehicle, return stage, date and location. Record a whole-vehicle view before each close-up, and keep each observation linked to its panel or cabin area. This is a visible-condition record, not a mechanical inspection or a decision about fair wear and tear, liability or charges. Apply the actual lease agreement and return standard separately.
