Rental Car Clause Decoder

Translate rental, insurance, and cancellation clauses into plain risk cards

Problem

A user in Europe paid in full with full insurance but was only 1 hour and 1 minute late to pick up the car; the booking was cancelled, the car rented to someone else, and no refund was given. Such clauses are scattered across sites, multi-lingual, and worded to hide the boundaries from ordinary people.

Solution

A rental car risk decoder: users enter the company, country, and pickup/return times, and it fetches and structures key clauses (late grace period, cancellation policy, insurance coverage, fuel policy), then shows plain-language risk levels and tips.

Users

Ordinary travelers and business travelers renting cars abroad, especially in Europe and North America.

MVP

Cover 5-8 major rental companies in key countries; parse four rule categories with fixed templates: lateness, cancellation, insurance, and fuel; output red/yellow/green risk cards; support saving comparisons and share links; let users submit real incidents to correct data.

Revenue

Free basic lookup plus a subscription for all companies and clause change history; affiliate commissions with rental comparison or insurance partners.

Why now

Cross-border road trips are back and rental disputes keep appearing in communities, while clause info still travels by word of mouth; a small team can manually curate the first few companies and launch fast.
