Automotive and mobility

Brand design for vehicle rental and mobility services

Customers book a vehicle on a screen, and only trust it when the vehicle matches what they saw.

Rental services sell punctuality and keeping promises. Sinh Vũ helps the vehicles, booking page, contract and handover point make the same promise to customers.

A sample object set for a vehicle rental service: a booking screen on a phone, a key with a tag, a rental contract and a vehicle body carrying the identity mark
Quick answer01

What brand does a vehicle rental need for customers to dare to book?

You need one consistent face from the booking page to the vehicle delivered: accurate photos, clear prices, a readable contract. Customers book from afar, so everything they see before pickup is the promise.

  1. Photos and descriptions that match reality

    Photos of the real vehicle shot to one standard, with descriptions that match the vehicle the customer receives.

  2. A booking page with clear prices and conditions

    Customers see what they pay, what they get and which documents they need right on the booking screen.

  3. A contract that is easy to read

    Short terms, with a table of the vehicle's condition at handover and at return.

Business types02

Three kinds of rental service, three problems

All of them rent vehicles, but the customers and the moment they need the service differ, so what they need to trust differs too.

Self-drive car rental

Their customersTourists and business travelers, booking through an app, a website or messages.

Brand challengeThe car must match the photos and description; handover, documents and condition must be clear for both sides.

Motorbike rental for travelers

Their customersDomestic and foreign visitors renting for a few days at tourist spots, choosing by photos and reviews.

Brand challengeStand out among dozens of similar shops, and state rental conditions in a language customers understand.

Corporate shuttles

Their customersCompanies needing vehicles for staff, guests and events, choosing suppliers by referral and company profile.

Brand challengeShow a professional fleet and drivers, with a profile and process worth signing a long contract for.

Pain points03

Four pain points specific to vehicle rental

These are the places where customers hesitate or do not come back, even when the vehicles and prices are fine.

Customer journey04

At which stage do rental services lose the most customers?

At Buy and take delivery, the moment customers receive the real vehicle. A vehicle that differs from the photos, or terms nobody expected, is when trust is lost and customers do not return.

Where customers are most often lostBuy and take delivery
Do this now
  1. Use a handover record with photos and a vehicle condition diagram, signed by both sides.
  2. Restate the price and the main conditions at handover, on a one-page summary.
  3. Give the person handing over the vehicle a uniform, a name tag and the service's mark, so customers know who they are dealing with.
Touchpoints05

Five touchpoints to do first

Touchpoints are the places where customers see, read and sign for the service. The five below decide whether customers believe the service keeps its promises.

  1. App or booking page

    Where customers pick a vehicle and decide, so photos, prices and conditions must be clear.

  2. Vehicle body

    A vehicle on the road is a moving sign, and customers see it when they pick up the vehicle.

  3. Contract and handover record

    Keeps both sides to the agreement and avoids disputes at return.

  4. Pickup point

    The first in-person meeting between customer and service.

  5. Messages and map listing

    Customers message, ask and read reviews before booking; the greeting there is also the brand.

Roadmap06

Where Sinh Vũ suggests starting

Listed in the order to do them. A new service can stop at step two or three to operate; one with a fleet and many pickup points goes all the way.

  1. Brand Identity Design

    Name, mark, color and type that work on vehicles, the app and documents.

  2. Brand website design

    A booking site with clear photos, prices and conditions.

  3. Designing a digital design system

    When there is an app: a design system keeping website, app and messages in step.

  4. Corporate capability profile design

    Rental contracts, handover forms and a capability profile for corporate clients.

  5. POSM and event booth design

    Vehicle livery, uniforms and wayfinding at handover points.
