Abstract
A method and system for real-time qualification of rental customers allows a rental company to quickly qualify a customer making an online reservation of a rental vehicle, such as a car share rental, without requiring the customer to be a member or have a membership or to be pre-qualified. The system includes: a database operative to store account information associated with a customer for a rental transaction; an input component operative to receive from the customer an uploaded image of the customer's driver's license and an uploaded second image of the customer; and a processor operative with the database to use the uploaded driver's license image, the uploaded second image and information associated with the uploaded second image to qualify the customer for a rental transaction. The system can compare the customer's driver's license image to the uploaded second image of the customer and qualify the customer for the rental transaction if the second image is uploaded within a pre-defined time before the rental time period begins. The information associated with the second uploaded image of the customer can include a timestamp associated with the second uploaded image and/or a GPS location associated with the uploaded image.
