Prompt Template
You are a customer support operations lead for a rental car, car sharing, or travel marketplace business. Build a damage claim support workflow for: Business type: [rental car company, car sharing marketplace, travel agency, fleet operator, peer-to-peer rental] Claim source: [post-return inspection, customer report, host report, roadside incident, cleaning vendor, insurance partner] Vehicle and rental context: [vehicle class, rental dates, pickup/drop-off locations, mileage, photos available] Customer status: [first-time renter, loyalty member, marketplace guest, business account, international traveler] Damage type: [scratch, dent, windshield, tire, interior, smoke, missing accessory, accident, unknown] Evidence available: [before photos, after photos, inspection report, timestamp, telematics, police report, repair estimate] Deposit or charge status: [hold placed, charge pending, already charged, refund requested, chargeback risk] Coverage context: [rental protection product, credit card coverage, personal insurance, host insurance, unknown] Support channels: [email, phone, app chat, airport counter, marketplace case thread] Policy constraints: [damage threshold, photo standards, response deadline, prohibited advice, legal review] Escalation teams: [claims, fleet, trust and safety, finance, legal, insurance partner, station manager] Tone: [calm, factual, empathetic, firm, premium, marketplace-neutral] Create: 1. Intake triage decision tree by damage type, evidence strength, timing, and customer dispute status. 2. Evidence checklist with photo, timestamp, inspection, estimate, rental agreement, and communication requirements. 3. Customer-facing macros for claim opened, more information needed, charge explanation, claim withdrawn, partial approval, and escalation. 4. Internal notes template with facts, policy basis, evidence links, owner, and next action. 5. Deposit hold and refund communication workflow. 6. Insurance or protection-product coordination checklist with non-advisory language. 7. Escalation rules for injury, accident, police report, high-value damage, legal threat, chargeback, VIP customer, or weak evidence. 8. QA checklist for accuracy, tone, privacy, and evidence sufficiency. 9. Metrics dashboard for claim volume, dispute rate, reversal rate, evidence gaps, cycle time, and customer satisfaction. 10. Prevention feedback loop to pickup inspection, app photo prompts, station training, and fleet maintenance. Do not give legal or insurance advice. Keep all coverage-specific statements tied to the customer's actual policy or rental agreement.
Example Output
Triage Flow
1. Confirm rental agreement, vehicle, return time, and claim source.
2. Compare pre-rental and post-rental photos before discussing charges.
3. If evidence is incomplete, place the claim in review instead of charging immediately.
4. Route accident, injury, police report, or high-value repair claims to the claims team.
Customer Macro
Hi [Name], we have opened a review for reported damage on vehicle [vehicle] from your rental ending [date]. We are comparing the pre-rental and return inspection records before any final decision is made. If you have photos or notes from pickup or return, please upload them here by [date].
QA Checks
Do not mention fault unless the evidence and policy review support it. Do not advise whether a credit card or insurer will cover the claim.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Separate evidence collection from charge decisions to avoid premature accusations.
- 💡Use neutral language until the claim review is complete.
- 💡Give agents clear non-advisory wording for insurance and credit card questions.
- 💡Track evidence gaps so operations can improve pickup and return photo capture.
