CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
A car rental, hire car, or car hire
agency is a company that rents automobiles for short periods of time, generally
ranging from a few hours to a few weeks. It is often organized with numerous
local branches (which allow a user to return a vehicle to a different
location), and primarily located near airports or busy city areas and often
complemented by a website allowing online reservations. Car rental agencies
primarily serve people who require a temporary vehicle, for example those who
do not own their own car, travelers who are out of town, or owners of damaged
or destroyed vehicles who are awaiting repair or insurance compensation. Car
rental agencies may also serve the self-moving industry needs, by renting vans
or trucks, and in certain markets other types of vehicles such as motorcycles
or scooters may also be offered. Alongside the basic rental of a vehicle, car
rental agencies typically also offer extra products such as insurance, global
positioning system (GPS) navigation systems, entertainment systems, mobile
phones, portable WiFi and child safety seats. The starting point of Car renting
is really unknown as said by Thomas Pretty; he also mentioned that many beliefs
that Joe Saunders was the first man to start a Car renting company. According
to Thomas Pretty, charges were calculated with the help of mileage tracking
device. Many people became interested in the Car rental business and hence got
involved. Car renting became more popular as years pass by. Today Car renting
services is found all over the world, especially in the developed and
developing countries. To make this service more popular and accessible to the
public it has been transform into a web base system and connected to the
internet were everyone can be able to have access to it [1].
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The problem with some of the current
system is that:
Based on observations, some small
companies already have a car hiring system which is not a web based
application. This is a limitation that gives them capability to store
customer’s details, but at the same time they cannot make their services more
available to the public through the internet, they rather make use of posters to
advertise their services to the public. These types of companies can overcome
these problems by switching to the web base application of their type of
system.
They also make use of phone call
reservations which is also limited to many features as compare to a web base
system. For example a customer may make a phone call reservation for a
particular car, but when he/she comes to pick the car, he/she might turn not to
like the car; this could be because the customer could not see a sample picture
of the car he/she wants to rent.
