Executive Summary
An overview of the project vision, objectives, and the value Capsley will deliver to Routes Car Rental.
The Opportunity
Routes Car Rental operates across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, serving a diverse customer base through major airports and city locations. With 74,000+ Google reviews and a 4.1-star rating, Routes has built a solid reputation for reliable service, friendly drivers, and competitive pricing.
However, the current digital platform does not reflect the scale, quality, or ambition of the brand. The website experience lags behind competitors like Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise in terms of modern design, booking flow optimisation, transparent pricing, and operational tooling for staff.
This proposal outlines a powerful platform upgrade — a modern redesign and rebuild that will transform the Routes digital experience into a premium, conversion-focused Next.js booking platform. We will deliver a high-performance Main Website, a dedicated User Dashboard, and seamlessly integrate new features into your existing Super Admin and Hub Panel, all delivered within 10 weeks at an investment of ₹4,00,000.
Project Objectives
Increase Conversion Rates
Redesign the search-to-checkout flow to minimise drop-offs. Transparent pricing, smart defaults, and a streamlined checkout will turn more visitors into confirmed bookings.
Premium Brand Experience
Deliver a visually stunning, mobile-first interface with micro-animations and a modern design system that positions Routes alongside Hertz and Avis in perceived quality.
Super Admin & Hub Integration
Leverage your existing infrastructure by seamlessly integrating powerful new modules for fleet management, booking pipelines, and advanced reporting directly into your Super Admin and Hub Panel.
Global Scalability
Architecture that supports multi-region operations, location-specific pricing, SEO-optimised landing pages, and add-on rules that adapt per market without code changes.
Trust & Compliance
KYC hooks, driver verification, transparent fee breakdowns, and proper document retention to meet regulatory requirements and build customer confidence.
Intelligent Assistance
An AI-powered chatbot, smart location suggestions, and automated notifications that reduce support calls while improving the customer self-service experience.
Current State Assessment
What we've analysed
We have conducted a thorough review of the current Routes Car Rental website (routes.ca), competitor platforms (Hertz, Avis), and your existing codebase. Our findings are summarised below:
| Area | Current State | Target State |
|---|---|---|
| Design & UX | Dated visual design; inconsistent styling; limited mobile optimisation | Premium, mobile-first design system with micro-animations and accessibility |
| Search & Booking | Basic form with limited validation; no smart suggestions | Smart trip search with GPS, auto-complete, promo integration, and real-time availability |
| Vehicle Display | Simple listing; no compare; limited detail pages | Rich vehicle cards with specs, image galleries, side-by-side comparison, and policy transparency |
| Checkout Flow | Single-step; no add-on upsells; limited payment options | Multi-step wizard with add-ons, protection tiers, partial pay, and multiple gateways |
| Customer Account | Minimal or no self-service portal | Full account with trip history, documents, payment tracking, and modify/cancel capabilities |
| Admin Tools | Manual fleet and booking management | Seamless integration of new fleet management, Kanban bookings, and promo engines into the existing Super Admin & Hub Panel |
| Reviews & Trust | Google widget with basic display | Integrated review carousel, verified badges, driver verification, and trust signals |
| SEO | Single-page approach; limited SEO structure | Dedicated city/airport landing pages with schema markup, FAQ sections, and local SEO |
