Car Station

Car Station is a car rental marketplace in Saudi Arabia that we built for the Car Station brand. Customers compare cars from several rental companies and book in minutes, then collect the car at a branch or airport or have a driver deliver it to their location. Partners and drivers each get their own app or dashboard.

The story

Project overview

  1. 01

    The challenge

    Renting a car usually means calling several companies, comparing prices by hand and going to a branch to collect the car. Car Station wanted one place where customers see cars from many rental companies, book and pay online, and get the car delivered. Rental companies needed to manage their own branches and fleets, and drivers needed a simple way to run deliveries and returns.

    What we built

    We built a complete platform with four connected parts: a customer app, a driver app, a dashboard for rental companies and their branches, and an admin dashboard for the Car Station team, all running on one Laravel API. Customers search without signing up, compare cars grouped by model and company, choose branch, airport or delivery pick-up, and pay inside the app with MyFatoorah or loyalty points. Every booking moves through clear stages, from pending and accepted to out for delivery, delivered, returned and completed, and staff assign drivers for delivery and return. Extensions, cancellations and early returns are priced automatically with proportional refunds, and each partner gets financial settlements and reports.

Key features

  • Search cars without signing up, sorted by nearest or cheapest
  • Branch, airport or deliver-to-me pick-up and return

Results
