Charter companies often charge for damage, extras, or consumables with no invoice and nothing for you to sign. They rely on most crews documenting nothing at check-in. KeelTruth walks you step by step through the full check-in and return — with photos and a record you keep, not just them.
No credit card. Check-in and return protocols are free for now.
