Project Overview

People from a leading automotive seller in Oman came to us at Katomaran Technologies with an idea: they wanted to build a car rental platform that would revolutionize the rental market in Oman. Their vision was a website that'd make renting a car a breeze for travelers anywhere in the world. They were clear about what they needed—something simple to use where people could pick from all sorts of vehicles, whether it's a zippy compact car or a fancy SUV. They also wanted it to handle long-term leases for folks needing a car for a while, plus a section for buying top-quality used cars from trusted dealers. The whole thing had to feel effortless, with a smooth booking process and pricing that's upfront and easy to understand.
