Owners and scanners
How the vehicle QR contact works
We sit between you and the person who scans your QR. Both of you are verified. Neither of you sees the other’s contact details.
Owners
For vehicle owners
About three minutes from sign-in to a printable code.
Sign in with your email.
Choose a password, and we email you a 6-digit code once to check the address is yours.
Add your vehicle.
Type — car, bike, scooter, auto, commercial — and, if you like, a nickname, a colour and a short public note. Only the type is shown by default.
Download your QR.
PNG, SVG or the printable kit: the QR and simple instructions. Print it at home or at any print shop.
Verify your WhatsApp number once.
Tap “Verify on WhatsApp”, tap Send, come back. Your QR turns on. This is what keeps spammers out, and it costs you nothing.
Get alerts by email.
Each alert shows the reason and the message. Pause the QR any time, mute a reason, or block a visitor.
Scanners
I scanned a QR
About two minutes the first time, and under thirty seconds after that.
If someone is in danger, call 112 first. Alerts from this service go by email and can be delayed.
You are on the vehicle’s page.
You see the vehicle type, maybe a nickname and a note, and the reasons you can send. Nothing about the owner as a person.
Tap Contact owner.
The first time, you confirm your email with a code and your WhatsApp with one message. After that it takes seconds.
Pick a reason.
Add a short message if you want. You will see exactly what the owner will receive before you send it.
Send.
You will see “Alert sent successfully.” The owner receives an email.
That is it.
The owner never sees who you are. You do not get a reply here — if you are waiting, give it a few minutes.
Side by side
What each side sees
The same four questions, answered for both people.
| Topic | The owner sees | The scanner sees |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | A visitor label such as Visitor #7K2Q | Nothing about the owner except what they chose to show |
| Contact details | Never | Never |
| Content | Reason, message, time | Vehicle type, optional nickname, colour and note, status |
| Actions | Block, report, mute, pause | Send an alert, report a problem |
The trade
Why we verify scanners
Without verification a QR on a car is an open channel for anyone walking past. Verifying email and WhatsApp once ties every alert to a real person, lets us enforce limits, and lets us act on abuse reports. It takes about two minutes the first time.
Time it takes
Owners: about three minutes from sign-in to download. Scanners: about two minutes the first time, under thirty seconds after that.
