Rebuilding and extending a peer-to-peer UTV and ATV rental marketplace.

Journeyhorizon rebuilt Side By Side Share to support peer-to-peer off-road vehicle rentals with deposits, identity verification, location privacy, agreements, messaging and rental-specific workflows.

Platform and marketplace model

Side By Side Share is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace designed to connect UTV & ATV owners with adventure seekers who want to experience off-road riding without owning a vehicle. The platform makes outdoor adventures more accessible by allowing owners to list their vehicles for rent while providing renters with a seamless and secure booking process.

In this marketplace:

• Sellers – Vehicle owners list their UTVs and ATVs for rent, set pricing, availability, and rental terms, and earn extra income by sharing their vehicles.
• Buyers – Outdoor enthusiasts can browse available UTVs and ATVs, compare listings, complete bookings, and securely communicate with owners before their adventure.

With Side By Side Share, owners can efficiently manage their vehicle listings and rentals, while renters benefit from a streamlined process, secure payments, and verified listings.

The collaboration between Side By Side Share and Journeyhorizon enabled the rapid development of a feature-rich and scalable marketplace, delivering a seamless experience for both renters and vehicle owners.

Client perspective

Working with Journeyhorizon to rebuild our marketplace from the ground up was one of the best decisions we’ve made. We started out with zero experience in Sharetribe and marketplace development, and JH guided us every step of the way – answered all our questions, updated us to the latest template, added custom features, and went the extra mile to make suggestions and fill in the scenario gaps we hadn’t even thought of – all while being mindful of our budget. We continue to work with them, and most importantly, we now have a solid dev framework that we're confident we can scale with.
