Carento Mobile – Car Rental Dealer React Native Expo App

This is a complete React Native (Expo SDK 54) app for car rental and car dealer businesses. It provides a full mobile car-rental experience with modern UI, social login integration, push notifications, and comprehensive booking management. Built with TypeScript and React Query for optimal performance and developer experience, it delivers native performance on both Android and iOS platforms with a single codebase.

It suits car rental companies and car dealers who want to put their inventory in their customers’ hands. It is easy to customize and integrate with your Botble car-rental backend, and it ships with full source code and documentation so you can modify and extend it.

It talks to your existing Botble car-rental backend over its REST API, keeping cars, bookings, dealers and rental data in sync, and adds social authentication, biometric unlock and push notifications.
