1.3 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

This project covers a wide range of topics, from business concepts to computer science, and it
necessitates the completion of numerous studies in order to meet the project's objectives Some of the topics
covered include:

1) Vehicle rental industry – This covers research on how the car rental industry operates, the processes
involved, and the potential for improvement.
2) The application was built using the HTML and CSS programming language.
3) Customers, as well as corporate employees, will be able to make good use of the system.
4) PHP Technology used for the development of the application.General customers as well as the
company’s staff will be able to use the system effectively.Web-platform means that the system will be

LITERATURE SURVEY
When a user or management begins a study of the software utilizing the current system, analysis begins.
Data was collected on numerous files, decision points, and transactions handled by the current system during
the analysis. For example Data Flow Diagrams, etc. are widely utilized in the system. For the collection of
important information needed to create the system, training, experience, and common sense are necessary.

The system's success is primarily determined by how well the problem is identified, fully studied, and
appropriately implemented via the selection of a solution.

A good analytical model should include not just methods for comprehending the problem, but also the
framework for solving it. As a result, it should be extensively investigated by gathering data about the
system. The suggested system should next be extensively examined in light of the requirements. System
analysis is divided into four sections.

CHAPTER-2 PROBLEM FORMULATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
We are currently creating a new system because there is no existing system at this time. There is currently
no system on the market with these features and capabilities.This system is designed for a wide range of
users, with a highly adaptable and adjustable solution that will ensure worldwide marketing.

Customers will be able to reserve their vehicles from anywhere in the world due to the Car Rental System.
Consumers provide information to this application by filling in their personal information. When a consumer
creates an account on the website, he or she can reserve a car. The proposed system is an online system that
is fully integrated. It effectively and efficiently automates manual procedures. Customers are aided by this
automated method, which allows them to fill in the specifics according to their needs.

It contains information on the sort of car they want to hire as well as the location. The goal of this system is
to create a website where customers can book their automobiles and request services from anywhere in the
world. There are three phases to this car rental system mentioned in the introduction.

An online car rental booking system facilitates its customers to hire a car at rent anytime from a vast range
of fleets. Various businesses are coming forward to reap the advantages of car-sharing services by hiring a
reliable online car rental booking system development company.Customers can easily browse the database
of available vehicles to find their preferred vehicle and book it with ease.

We are currently creating a new system because there is no existing system at this time. There is currently
no system on the market with these features and capabilities.This system is designed for a wide range of
users, with a highly adaptable and adjustable solution that will ensure worldwide marketing.

The current system is a manual driven system which requires paper work to be managed by the employees
when a car is sent out by the company to a customer they require doing the paperwork for the process which
is very arduous to manage because it is in the physical form and it is not a very trusted format.

The car rental system is well equipped method to handle the overall requisites of the current people’s cull.
There are certain responsibilities which can be managed by the system if not compulsorily done by other
peoples.The current system is not capable enough to sustain the magnification of the market and to calibrate
the round equities of the system which are high enough to transform the cognition of the concerned person
