Case Study: Rent From Locals improves car rental marketplace operations with Roobykon Software

Rent From Locals launches a car rental platform in 10 weeks with Roobykon Software

Rent From Locals, a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace, faced significant technical challenges in developing their platform. Their partner, Roobykon Software, encountered deployment inconsistencies between staging and production environments and had to refactor large portions of code that relied on hardcoded IDs, which created fragility across the system.

Roobykon Software built the solution using Sharetribe OpenSource, hosting it on AWS for scalability and integrating Google Maps and Stripe for key functionality. They implemented an interactive availability grid and a duplicate listings feature, which significantly streamlined car providers' daily operations and reduced administrative time. The result was a robust, multilingual platform that improved the user experience for a global audience and laid a strong foundation for Rent From Locals' continued growth.
