 ABSTRACT
The Car Rental System is a web-based platform developed using PHP, designed to simplify the
process of renting vehicles, from booking to vehicle return.

Customers can register by providing essential details such as name, contact information, and preferred
payment method. Once registered, they can browse available vehicles, make bookings, and track rental
status. The Vehicle module allows administrators to manage vehicle details, availability, and rental
pricing. It also enables system administrators to oversee bookings, customer accounts, and manage
rental transactions. This system ensures an efficient, user-friendly process for both customers and
administrators while providing real-time updates and maintaining transparency throughout the rental
process.
