The challenge.
Vehicle rental operators lose serious money to disputes, chargebacks, unpaid post-hire charges, and identity fraud.
Existing tools handle one piece of the puzzle (just bonds, just identity, just disputes) and leave the rest manual. There's an opportunity for a single Stripe-native product that handles the whole revenue protection flow.
What I built.
Bond holds with auto-refresh, identity verification via Stripe Identity, post-hire charge automation, and dispute response with structured Stripe-ready evidence packs. Built in NZ, powered by Stripe, designed for vehicle rental operators specifically.
Bond holds
Stripe-native bond authorisations with automatic refresh before expiry.
Identity verification
Stripe Identity for driver verification at pickup.
Post-hire charges
Automated capture of additional charges (fuel, damage, late return) within bond limits.
Dispute response
Structured evidence pack generation tailored to Stripe's dispute requirements.
The whole thing sits between the operator's booking system and Stripe — a thin layer that turns four separate workflows into one ops-friendly product.
The result.
In production, used by Jimny Rentals NZ and being prepared for additional operators.
The product is positioned at the intersection of SaaS and fintech — billed monthly with usage-based components, integrated deeply with operator workflows.
