Car Rental Website Development

I’m looking for a developer who can create a clean, responsive website for my own car-rental brand. Rather than using Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento, I’d like a custom build that keeps things lightweight and easy to expand later.

Core requirements
• Car catalogue with images, specs, and daily rates
• Straightforward booking flow that checks availability, adds the rental to a simple cart, and lets customers confirm the reservation
• Payment-gateway integration so guests can pay online securely
• Dashboard where I can add or edit cars, pricing, and booking status
• Mobile-friendly layout and basic SEO setup

For this initial phase I only need the essential pages (home, fleet, booking, contact) and the working rental module; advanced extras such as loyalty programs or multi-location support can wait until a later round.

Please outline the tech stack you recommend, a rough timeline, and a link to at least one similar project you’ve completed.
