SelfDrive BD is a premium car rental in Dhaka that puts customers behind the wheel themselves, with a fleet of automatic sedans, SUVs, MPVs and luxury cars covering all of Bangladesh. They needed one website that could welcome renters in English and Bangla and carry every booking from first visit to a confirmed WhatsApp chat, with the whole fleet run from behind the scenes.

Challenge
Car rental in Dhaka runs on phone calls and blind trust: customers could not see which cars were actually free, and every price, booking and invoice lived in scattered chats. Half the audience reads in Bangla, so an English-only site would lose them before the first message. And the owner is not a developer, yet needed to change cars, prices and site text every week.
Objective
Build a fast, premium site in English and Bangla where the live fleet sells itself and every booking lands in WhatsApp with the details already written, with a back office to match: cars and photos, availability, bookings, invoices and every line of site copy editable in both languages without touching code.
Results
The site now shows the fleet live, with availability updating as cars go out and come back. A guided booking flow picks the class, the exact car, the date and a self-drive or with-driver option, then writes the customer’s WhatsApp message for them, saving every booking for the owner before the chat even opens. Yearly memberships and airport pick-up each convert with a single pre-written tap, and the whole experience reads natively in Bangla down to the numerals, with the Bangla typeface served from the site itself so it renders cleanly on every device. Behind it, the owner manages cars, bookings, invoices sent as private links, and all site text in both languages from one panel. Every animation is tuned to stay smooth even on a budget phone.
