Currux: a used-car rental and subscription marketplace on web and mobile

From a simple request website to an app that rents a car in minutes.

  • Minutes to rent a car from the mobile app
  • 3 ways to get a car: rent, lease, or subscribe

Overview

Currux wanted people to rent, lease, or subscribe to a used car with as little paperwork as possible. The first release was a website with a car list and a request form. Once that flow was in use, Join.To.IT extended it into a mobile app for renting a car in minutes.

Client. Currux, a marketplace for renting, leasing, and subscribing to used cars.

Product. A web marketplace, later extended with a mobile app for renting a car in minutes.

How the product evolved

  1. 01 Launch

    Request website

    A list of available cars and a request flow the business could put live quickly.

  2. 02 Operate

    Requests in use

    Customers used the website to find a car and request it.

  3. 03 Expand

    Mobile app

    Renting a car in minutes from a phone, built on the same rental flow.

The challenge

Renting, leasing, or subscribing to a used car usually means forms, calls, and paperwork. Currux wanted to remove as much of that as possible.

The business also needed to launch without first building the entire rental operation in software.

Our approach

  • Keep the first release small: a car list and a request form. The full rental operation could come later.
  • Extend the same rental flow to mobile so the app did not turn into a second, disconnected product.

Join.To.IT started with the website the business could launch. Once the request flow was in use, the team proposed the mobile app and built it on top of that flow.

What we built

  • A catalog of available cars with a request flow on the web.
  • A mobile app that lets a customer rent a car in minutes.
  • Three ways to get a car: rental, lease, and subscription.

Results

  • The engagement grew from a request website into a mobile app for renting a car in minutes.
  • Currux had a working product early and added mobile once the core flow was in use.
