CASE STUDY
MORENT
Our team has developed Morent, a state-of-the-art car rental application utilizing the MERN stack. The platform's homepage boasts a dynamic design featuring top-rated vehicles, flexible pickup and drop-off locations, and an extensive list of available cars. In addition, we have designed a car listing page equipped with a search bar and a range of filtering options to help users find their ideal rental car. The car details page provides users with comprehensive vehicle information and suggestions for other recommended cars. Car owners can easily list their cars for rent via our Add Car page, while users can effortlessly manage their rented and rented-out vehicles through their profile page. Our MVP version of Morent is intuitive and user-friendly, simplifying the car rental process.
Problem Statement
A major challenge for individuals seeking to rent a car is the difficulty of finding a trustworthy and easy-to-use platform for browsing and booking rental vehicles. Similarly, car owners interested in renting out their cars often encounter obstacles when attempting to identify a suitable platform for advertising their vehicles and monitoring their rental activity.
The solution to the issues faced by car renters and owners is a modern car rental app that offers an easy-to-use platform for customers to browse available vehicles and make reservations from anywhere, at any time. Additionally, the app can expand the range of car options for customers and provide car owners with a platform to list their vehicles for rent. Overall, a modern car rental app has the potential to simplify the rental process and meet the demands of both renters and car owners.
