The Challenge

Rentalo SV aimed to build a modern peer-to-peer car rental platform similar to Turo, where vehicle owners could list their cars and customers could book rentals conveniently and securely. Before beginning the project, the client's challenges included building a reliable marketplace that connects car owners and renters, creating a secure verification and listing flow for owners, developing a booking system with real-time availability checks, ensuring smooth search functionality with location-based filtering, managing onboarding, documents, pricing, payments, and communication, and designing a scalable architecture to handle thousands of listings. The goal was to create a user-friendly, web-based platform with fast performance, automated workflows, and easy navigation — enabling customers to discover, compare, and book vehicles effortlessly.

Our Solution

Visech Technologies developed Rentalo SV, a complete Turo-style car rental marketplace built with: React.js for the web platform, Firebase for authentication, database, hosting, and secure storage, Google Places API for location search, address autocomplete & geolocation, a fully responsive UI for a seamless user experience, a powerful backend for bookings, availability, and notifications, and complete vehicle owner and renter dashboards. The platform enables owners to upload details, documents, pricing, and availability, while renters can browse vehicles, filter by location, and complete reservations instantly. We implemented a Smart Search & Discovery system with location-based search, Google Places autocomplete, vehicle category filtering, price range filtering, and real-time results. The Listing Management System allows owners to upload car images & details, add pricing, extras & availability, manage rental rules, and set pickup instructions. The Secure Booking Workflow includes live availability, instant bookings, auto-updated calendars, confirmation notifications, and cancellation logic. We also implemented trust & verification features, communication tools, admin panel, and revenue & earnings tracking.
