Online Vehicle Rental System

1. INTRODUCTION
Software for rental management enables you to control availability, bookings, and more from a single
interface. For payments, service, and channel management, it offers creative alternatives with
improved output.

Transportation has always been seen as one of life's most basic needs. Although there are several
ways to get around, including local buses, trains, and taxis, the majority of people are increasingly
choosing to use car rental services. Vehicle rental services offer their best services to the clients for
their great travel experiences at any time, which increases the popularity of car rental booking apps
among users as it is the simple and expedient way to reserve the vehicle according to user desire.

The purpose of the project is to enhance people's use of transportation. Vehicle

have lately done all different kinds of transportation in phrases of convenience. The utilization of
a vehicle in step with one's wishes is made simpler, much less complicated, and greater fun with
the useful resource of a vehicle rental system. A person can reserve a vehicle precisely for the
duration, number, and form of his trip. Online vehicle rental services are employed by the majority
of industrialized countries, including Australia and England, where digital trade is widely used.
Because they use cutting-edge technology to create and offer better services to their customers, well-
known companies, like the British company Europcar, have become even more well-known (Mohite,
2022).

Therefore, I have chosen to create an online vehicle rental system for my final project. This project
is all about booking rentals and reservations online. Users will find the system simple to use. An app
user has the option to reserve a car with or without a payment, including online payments. The
additional services, which include online cancellation, vehicle details, feedback, and many more,
will be available to users.

.1. Problem Scenario

The necessity for transportation has long been seen as one of the most fundamental. There are many
different ways to get around, including local buses, trains, and taxis, but an increasing number of
individuals are opting to rent a car instead. According to a survey, there has been a 9.8% growth in
the number of persons renting cars online since 2021 (passport-photo.online, 2022). While renting a
vehicle has become the most convenient option to travel short or long distances, it takes time and is
challenging to locate a dependable and ideal hire vehicle quickly. Only a small number of vehicle
rental businesses in Nepal have their own websites. While conducting research on Google and
visiting their websites, it was discovered that the majority of them were ineffective, illogical, and
lacking in accurate information. The website is completely irrelevant and offers no accurate
information or details.

.2. Problem Statement

These days' people seek for facility in their daily life style, in context of their health, education,
journey and many more. Traveling has been the part of our daily life whether its long distance or
short, whether it's to go to work, college or to wander. We seek easy traveling with comfort in a short
period of time or let's say "saving time" as we like these days, but to find a vehicle for the journey
might get tough without a system.

Some of the problems faced while searching a vehicle without a system are:

1. When a client calls to make a reservation, the business phone can be busy.
2. It could be challenging for customers to find the company's address.
3. There could be multiple reservations for the same vehicle.
4. People might not find vehicle according to their preference.
5. It's time consuming to find a vehicle without a system.
6. It might get tough to find a reliable company for the journey.
7. It might get tough to find a reliable vehicle.
8. The company might find it difficult to handle many customers at once.

.3. Project as a solution

The issue raised above is entirely resolved by this project. It offers people a quick and effective
method for quickly finding their rental cars online. It serves as a great solution to help those who
don't own a private vehicle find one that meets their needs for a trip. Users can book vehicles online,
make payments online, browse vehicle listings and details, view and send comments, and many other
features through this system, which offers dependable and high-quality service. This system can be
reliable for the users to find a reliable vehicle.

.4. Aims and Objectives

 BACKGROUND STUDY
This application aids in resolving the issues associated with vehicle rental that people encounter.
Whether traveling over a short or long distance, individuals often struggle to find a dependable
vehicle rental system. If you don't have a strategy in place, renting a vehicle can be difficult and time-
consuming. Vehicle rentals are the main focus of this program.

.1. Technology Used

3.1.1. UI framework
The Flutter mobile app development framework was created by Google. On this open-source
platform, programmers may produce native desktop, internet, and mobile applications using a single
codebase. Due to its rapid development cycle and capacity to produce visually beautiful apps of the
highest calibre, Flutter has gained popularity among developers since it was originally announced in
2017 at the Dart developer summit.

Flutter's hot reload functionality allows developers to make changes to their code and see the results
right away, doing away with the need to manually rebuild and install the app. This quickens the
creative process and enables testing and improving on new ideas easier. Flutter enables programmers
to create apps that run on both Android and iOS devices using a single codebase. Developers may
save time and resources by not having to create unique apps for each platform (Anon., n.d.).

3.1.2. Programming language

 Dart:
Dart is a computer language developed by Google. Programmers with prior experience in
C++ or Java will find it simple to pick up because it is an object-oriented, class-based
language with a C-style syntax. Dart enables the development of desktop, mobile, and web
applications. Since it enables programmers to share a major portion of their coding across
many platforms, it is mostly ideal for building cross-platform applications. Dart is a good
option for developing modern applications because of its high - level programming support,
faster development processes with reload, and selection of libraries and tools (Anon., n.d.).

 Python:
Python, a well-liked high-level programming language, is recognized for its readability,
versatility, and clarity. Scientific computing, web development, data analysis, and machine
learning are just a few of the fields that heavily utilize this all-purpose language. Python is
praised for its simplicity since its syntax is easy for non-programmers to study and
comprehend. This makes it a suitable language to learn for both experienced developers and
beginners who wish to quickly prototype concepts or build small apps (python, n.d.).

 Framework:
A framework is a group of guidelines, resources, and libraries that provide code for a certain
programming language or class of applications. Frameworks can increase developers'
productivity by providing them with reusable components and libraries that they can use to
create standardized functionality. This standardizes how developers write and put together
their code. They regularly adopt coding guidelines and best practices, which helps to ensure
that the software program application is scalable and maintained (Lutkevich, n.d.).

 Django:
Quickly building secure and dependable websites is feasible thanks to the high-level Python
web framework Django. It takes care of many web development issues, allowing you to
concentrate on creating your app without having to reinvent the wheel. Django follows the
adage that "batteries are included," which means that it comes with a sizable number of
libraries and tools designed to be helpful to developers. These include support for object-
relational mapping, a template engine, and an integrated administrative interface (ORM)
(developer.mozilla.org, 2022).

.2. Methodology
Agile methodology is the process of project management by dividing the project into several
phases known as sprint. At each sprint a specific task is done and reviewed based on testing and
meetings. For the development of this project scrum methodology is used which is the framework
of agile methodology.

5.1. Scrum Methodology

Scrum is an agile software program development method that is based on incremental and iterative
methods. Scrum is an agile framework this is quick, flexible, adaptable, and powerful and is made
to offer price to the purchaser in the course of the direction of the project. Scrum's important aim
is to serve the wishes of the purchaser. Starting with a general understanding of what needs to be
created, the development technique develops a listing of priorities for the traits the product's
owner intends to achieve. (digite, n.d.).

Scrum allows for adaptation. A project that is already under way can support and incorporate
changes. The project's scope is flexible under Scrum, but time and cost are fixed. This is a
significant departure from the conventional method, where time and cost are variable but the scope
is fixed.

5.2. BENEFITS OF SCRUM METHODOLOGY

 Quicker transport of a practical product to users and customers.

 Capable of managing projects along with their complexity.

 It has the capacity to adapt instant changes.

 It consists of quality along with the better productivity.

 Efficiency of money including time is ensured by scrum.

 It is very much flexible as well as adaptable.

A set of guidelines that designate how software program is created

and built is called a software architecture. The employer and shape of
the software system are designated via way of means of the architecture. Additionally, it discusses
the hyperlinks among the numerous software system components, levels of abstraction,
and different features. An architecture can be used to specify a project's objectives or to direct
the creation of a brand-new system. A set of hints that specify how software program is created
and built is called a software architecture. The organization and structure of
the software system are designated by the architecture (Anon., 2022).

.1. Progress Review

Initial research was done to decide the viability of the project topic earlier than it changed
into selected for the final year project. Surveys have
been executed to assemble the task requirements. To discover how people feel about the renting
system, a public survey was carried out online using a Google form.
I discover it quite useful to decide the features for the present project by surveying
and researching projects which might be similar. After defining each actor, the project's features,
use case, and project logo have been created, and the document was started. Wireframes have
been created following the project manager's evaluation of the use case.
An initial ERD was built after receiving input on the wireframes and use case diagram.
