Vorenza Rentals

A New Hampshire rental operator paying Turo roughly two grand a month in commissions. We built the direct-booking storefront that got it back.

The brief

Vorenza was 100% dependent on Turo — a great growth channel and a terrible long-term margin. Every rental fed a commission skim and a brand that wasn't theirs. They needed a direct-booking website that could stand next to the marketplace and gradually take share.

We built a premium rental storefront with custom booking logic, Stripe payments, and fleet-tier pages that do what marketplace listings can't: show the whole vehicle experience, upsell delivery, and capture repeat customers directly.

What we owned
Rental brand identity + site design
Custom booking + reservation system
Fleet showcase with vehicle-level detail
Delivery + pickup scheduling logic
Stripe payment integration
Mobile-responsive checkout flow
The friction
  • 100% marketplace-dependent — no proprietary audience or email list.
  • Needed a booking platform that works without human handoff.
  • Fleet required real-time availability vs. double-bookings.
  • Airport + hotel delivery logistics not supported by Turo.
How we moved it
  • Built a premium rental storefront with fleet-tier pages and detailed vehicle specs.
  • Custom booking flow (date → vehicle → delivery → pay) with real-time availability and instant confirmation.
  • Stripe Elements for secure direct payments with saved customer profiles.
  • Turo coexistence strategy — we kept the marketplace listings alive, but priced direct slightly lower to pull share over time.
The fleet tier system

Three tiers, one clear upgrade path. Each tier is its own landing page so we can run targeted ads and track which segment actually converts.

We still list on Turo, but it's not the business anymore. Our direct site pulls in customers who never search marketplaces, and the margin difference funds two more cars a year.
