Auto Trader is the UK’s largest digital automotive marketplace. Following its acquisition of Vanarama, Auto Trader set out to let car buyers lease a vehicle directly through its own platform.
We led the design of the B2C vehicle leasing checkout and the vehicle product description page, shipping high-fidelity, mobile-first experiences aligned to Auto Trader’s brand and component library.
Leasing had to feel native to Auto Trader while connecting to Vanarama’s systems behind the scenes, so the checkout, order data and validation rules all had to work across two businesses.
Customers also needed to understand the true monthly cost of a lease at a glance, and the team needed clear insight into where buyers were getting stuck.
He was Principal Product Designer for the leasing checkout and vehicle product journey, using Auto Trader’s component library so the new journey felt consistent with the rest of the platform.
He directed the integration of the leasing checkout into Vanarama’s systems and delivered a live pricing calculator, so buyers see accurate lease prices as they change their options.
Historical analytics were turned into clear insight for the wider team, and iterative user testing measurably reduced friction and improved performance across both products.
