Case study
A booking and operations platform for a Jeep and UTV rental company in Aruba — public reservations, seasonal pricing, online and counter payments, signed rental agreements, and the back office the staff run the day from.
Scope at a glance
Rental pricing is not a price list.
We built one pricing engine and made every surface ask it — the public booking flow, the staff booking form, the quote a guest is emailed.
Aventurova takes reservations online and runs the counter from the same system, with one source of truth for what a vehicle costs.
Aventurova rents Jeeps, UTVs and cars to visitors arriving by plane and cruise ship. The public side had to quote a real price for real dates on vehicles that were genuinely free, and the counter side had to survive a busy morning: hand a vehicle over, take payment however the guest wants to pay, print an agreement, and know at a glance what is going out and coming back today.
Rental pricing is not a price list. The rate depends on the season, on how long the guest stays, and on the vehicle — and the same booking can be paid online, on a card at the desk, or in cash, each of which moves the balance differently. Getting any of that wrong is not a cosmetic bug; it is money. The system also had to be usable by staff who were not hired to operate software.
We built one pricing engine and made every surface ask it — the public booking flow, the staff booking form, the quote a guest is emailed. Prices are never duplicated in code or copy, so a rate change lands everywhere at once. Around it we built the parts a rental counter actually needs: a six-step booking flow, payment handling for online and desk transactions, generated rental agreements the guest signs, a day board for pickups and returns, and reporting the owner reads to see where the money came from.
Aventurova takes reservations online and runs the counter from the same system, with one source of truth for what a vehicle costs. The platform is live and in daily use.
The heart of this build is a rate that moves with the season and the length of the trip. Every figure below was read from the live booking API, not modelled — each chart says when it was taken, and the numbers behind it can be opened.
Screens captured from the running system, not mockups.
The decisions that took the longest to get right, and why they went the way they did.
UTVs rent in four- and eight-hour packages, only between 8:00am and 5:00pm, and only return to one office. Those are not display copy — the availability calculation, the booking-rules panel and the vehicle card all read the same constraints, so the flow never offers a slot the business cannot honour.
When a vehicle is out, an empty card teaches the guest nothing and loses the booking. Each unavailable machine shows the moment it comes back, computed from the reservation it is actually sitting inside, so a visitor can move to the afternoon instead of leaving.
This runs alongside a sister platform for a car-rental business. They are separate products with genuinely different rules — protections are taxed here and exempt there — but the money invariants, date handling and reporting buckets are kept deliberately identical, so a fix found in one is applied to both rather than the two drifting apart.
Guests extend on the day, at the counter. An extension re-prices the new window through the same engine and records what was added, so it appears in financial reporting as extension revenue rather than as an unexplained change to the original total.
“The team was always available, no matter the time. Guljar and his talented team developed three professional booking software systems and designed and developed more than four outstanding websites.”
