I built a vehicle rental platform — what would you improve?
I've been building RentoX, a vehicle rental platform, as a way to work through some real product and engineering problems rather than just building another CRUD project.
The current version lets users:
Browse vehicles
Check availability for specific dates
Make and manage bookings
Receive real-time updates
On the engineering side, I've worked with Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Redis and Socket.IO, including background workers and booking conflict handling.
I'm now at the point where I need feedback from people who didn't build the product themselves.
I'd especially like to hear:
What would make you trust a new rental platform?
What would frustrate you during the booking process?
What information would you expect before booking?
What feature would make this meaningfully better than existing rental platforms?
You can try it here: https://rento-x.vercel.app/
I'm not looking for upvotes or compliments. I'd genuinely like to find the things that are confusing, unnecessary, or poorly designed.
If you've built or launched a product yourself, I'd also love to hear how you approached getting your first real users and feedback.
