Munich Airport has jazzed-up its car rental facilities by teaming up with "turnaround service provider " Assured Europe and Norwegian company Wenn AS to offer "fully automated documentation of a vehicle’s condition".
The system gives an update on the car "as it passes through" and offers "the detection of any damage in a matter of seconds", in turn saving time and ensuring transparency for the customer and rental company, according to the airport.
"Together with Assured Europe, Munich Airport is the first in Europe to deploy the innovative technology and is making it available to all car rental firms stationed at the airport," the airport said in a March 23 statement.
"Around 60,000 vehicles have passed through the automated damage scanner", the airport added, saying implementation at other German and international airports "is already being planned".
