Quick overview
Making vehicle hire and auctions easier to understand through clearer pricing and booking flows.
The platform provides a clearer relationship between vehicle discovery, pricing, booking, and operational follow-up.
The business and the brief
Introduction
FairReserve combines vehicle hire and auctions for Sydney customers. Its platform needed to explain two different transaction journeys while making pricing and next steps easier to follow. We redesigned the interface around customer decisions, supported booking and bidding with clearer flows, and connected customer activity with practical administrative tools.
A vehicle platform asks customers to make decisions with practical and financial implications. Before booking or bidding, users need to understand the offer and the steps involved. The redesign therefore focused on clarity across the transaction journey, while also considering how the team receives and responds to customer activity.
What needed to change
The challenge
- Unclear pricing made it harder for customers to assess vehicle hire options confidently.
- Booking and bidding journeys needed clearer guidance, particularly on mobile.
- Manual notifications and disconnected administration complicated responses to customer enquiries.
Our approach · 01
Clarifying the decisions before booking
The redesign makes vehicle information, pricing, and next steps easier to follow. Pricing calculators help customers evaluate the offer before they commit to a transaction, addressing an important source of uncertainty in the previous experience.
Pricing information is part of the user experience, not an isolated detail at the end of a page. Presenting it in the context of a vehicle helps customers evaluate an option before moving forward. The calculator supports that decision by making the pricing interaction more explicit.

Giving booking and bidding distinct paths
We developed clearer flows for vehicle reservations and auction participation. Responsive interfaces and focused calls to action guide users through the relevant process while keeping the platform’s different services connected.
Booking a vehicle and participating in an auction involve different expectations. Giving each activity a clearer path helps the platform communicate what the user is doing at each stage. A shared visual language keeps those paths connected without obscuring the distinction between them.

Connecting the customer journey with operations
Administrative notifications and quote responses support follow-up behind the scenes. A dashboard brings enquiries, traffic, and customer trends into view so the team has a more useful basis for monitoring the platform.
The platform’s usefulness also depends on what happens after the customer acts. Notifications and quote responses connect transactions with follow-up, while dashboard information gives the team a clearer view of activity. This brings the operational side of the service into the same system as the customer interface.
