The challenge
Peer-to-peer car rental lives or dies on trust between two strangers: a renter needs to know exactly what car they're getting and from whom, and a host needs a booking flow that doesn't mean answering the same questions by phone for every request.
Our approach
We built every listing around full disclosure and direct contact: real specs, a feature checklist, the host's profile, and a calendar that calculates the exact price before anyone commits.
Specs, not guesswork
Transmission, seating, colour and a written condition note on every listing, plus a feature checklist — ABS, cruise control, leather seats and more.
A host, not a hotline
Every car shows its host's profile with a direct message button, so questions get answered without leaving the listing.
Price before commitment
The calendar totals the exact cost — nightly rate, day count and deposit due now — before a booking request is sent.
Experience direction
Browse by brand or mood
A brand row for renters who know the make, luxury and sports shortcuts for renters who don't.
A feed built on real photos
Swipeable galleries and a favourite button on every card in the explore feed.
Instant Book, not a waiting game
Selected dates calculate the total on the spot, ending in an instant, confirmed reservation.
Product screens
Real screens from the app: home with brand and category browsing, the explore feed, a car's full detail page, and the calendar booking flow.
Design system
A coral signal colour on a clean, photography-led layout, so listing photos do the selling, not the interface around them.
Outcome
What shipped is a complete peer-to-peer booking loop: detailed listings with host contact built in, a calendar that prices a trip before it's requested, and an instant-book flow that needs no phone call to confirm.
