The collaboration introduces a streamlined and reliable way to verify a renter’s car insurance, reducing risk and increasing operational efficiency for rental agencies and automotive dealerships.
Used by thousands of rental car operators and dealerships worldwide, TSD’s software now integrates with Canopy Connect to eliminate the guesswork often associated with verifying insurance coverage. Traditionally, rental staff have either asked renters to verbally confirm their insurance details or skipped the step altogether—an approach that carries significant risk.
“It’s a missed opportunity,” said Tolga Tezel, founder and CEO of Canopy Connect. “Adding insurance verification at the time of reservation or at the point of sale not only mitigates the risk of total loss but also opens up new upsell opportunities for protection plans.”
With the new integration, rental agents can instantly see whether a customer’s insurance policy includes comprehensive and collision coverage or if it carries a high deductible. Having access to complete policy details at the time of rental allows companies to expedite claims and subrogation processes in the event of an incident.
“By automating this step, rental companies and dealerships get the kind of consistency that makes a difference,” said Shawn Concannon, President of TSD. “We are thrilled to partner with Canopy Connect to bring this excellent functionality to customers using TSD RENTAL and TSD DEALER.”
Insurance verification is now live on the TSD RENTAL platform and will roll out to TSD DEALER in early July. The integration reflects a broader shift in the automotive rental and dealership industries toward more digital, data-driven workflows that enhance both customer experience and operational efficiency.
