What is the Car Rental Management System?
The Car Rental Management System is a web application that lets a car rental business manage its vehicle fleet, bookings, customers, and payments efficiently. Customers can browse available cars with details such as model, type, and daily rate, check availability for their dates, book a vehicle, and view their rental history, while the business avoids double-booking by tracking which cars are committed for which periods. The system calculates rental charges based on duration and vehicle, generates clear invoices, and records each booking from pickup to return. Administrators manage the fleet, pricing, and customer accounts from a central dashboard.
Built on PHP with the CodeIgniter framework and a MySQL database, this mini project uses an MVC structure that keeps fleet, booking, and billing logic cleanly separated and easy to extend. Role-based access distinguishes administrators, staff, and customers, keeping pricing and data secure. Reports on popular vehicles, booking trends, fleet utilisation, and revenue help the business plan purchases and pricing. By tying availability, dates, and duration to cost, the project demonstrates realistic reservation and billing logic.
Complete source code and documentation are included so students can study how availability checks prevent conflicts in a rental system. This project suits learners who want a practical, date-driven booking example.
