How we protect your vehicle

Custody you can see.

Million-dollar cars deserve more than a valet ticket. Every RydeBack follows an eight-step protocol enforced by our app, with a permanent record in your vault.

The Key Custody Protocol

From the moment we hold your keys, every step is recorded.

Eight steps, enforced by our app, not left to good intentions. The chauffeur cannot skip a step, and you can watch each one happen live.

Step 1 of 8

Two-way identity check

Your one-time handover PIN is matched in the chauffeur's app. Nothing proceeds without a match. You already have both chauffeurs' names and photos.

Step 2 of 8

Key sealed in a signal-blocking pouch

Your key goes straight into a numbered, tamper-evident pouch that blocks the radio signal thieves relay to open keyless cars. You receive the seal number instantly.

Step 3 of 8

Guided 360° video and photos

Before the engine starts, the app guides a full walk-around: every side, wheels, interior, odometer, fuel or charge and any warning lights. Each frame is stamped with time, GPS location and chauffeur ID.

Step 4 of 8

Engine start locked until upload

The trip cannot start until the inspection is uploaded and fingerprinted, so the record cannot be altered later. With no signal, files queue on the phone and our operations team is alerted.

Step 5 of 8

Both cars tracked live

You watch both cars on the map. Our operations console is alerted to speeding, a detour from the planned route, an unplanned stop or lost signal. Chauffeur 1 drives straight to your car's destination: no passengers, no detours.

Step 6 of 8

Parked, closed and locked

Your car is parked in the agreed garage or bay. The chauffeur photographs the parked car, the garage door closed and the lock confirmation.

Before and after, side by side

A second guided 360° inspection on arrival. Your record shows departure and arrival side by side, including odometer and fuel or charge, so you can see the car came home exactly as it left.

Keys released, record saved

The seal is checked intact, then the key goes to the person you named (signature and photo) or into your key safe. Every photo and video is saved to your private evidence vault for 12 weeks, to view or download at any time.
