Munich Airport has sharpened its focus on
passenger and visitor services by making the car rental process faster
and more straightforward.
Thanks to a partnership
with Assured
Europe and the Norwegian start-up Wenn AS, an innovative
scanning tunnel from the provider of leading AI-based solutions
for the automotive industry has been installed in the car rental
center at Munich Airport.
The technology allows for the fully automated
documentation of a vehicle’s condition as it passes through and
the detection of any damage in a matter of seconds.
Customers simply need to drive their rental car
through a structure at the entrance and exit of the parking
garage. The cameras installed there capture the car from various
angles, and the data obtained is automatically evaluated and
documented by artificial intelligence in real time.
Within a
minute, the information is available to the vehicle check-in staff
for the return process.
Travelers benefit from maximum
transparency and a totally objective assessment of liability for
damage, since any changes in the vehicle’s condition arising
between the beginning and end of the rental period are clearly
documented by the seamless inspection on entry and exit.
Munich Airport is
the first in Europe to deploy the innovative technology and has
made it available to all car rental firms stationed at the
airport.
Since it was installed, around 60,000 vehicles
have already passed through the automated damage scanner.
Implementation
at other airports in Germany and elsewhere is also being
planned.
