Car Rental/Sharing Peer to Peer Application System

Abstract

This project suggests the idea of having a peer to peer car rental application with a computer based information system embedded in it. It is going to be a platform having the base of it as its users; the main users are the client and the host. The host is going to be a car owner who is willing to gain some extra money on the side while benefiting the clients as well by renting/lending his car for a value of money, since transportation is very important and local transportation methods are not always suitable for everyone especially for users who are always on the go, depending on their usage. Car rental reservations will have a start date and an ending date with the prerequisites of the host to have a license for the car itself and an official car safety check from the car’s official maintenance center. The client on the other hand has to have a personal license in order to be able to register an account on the application’s server. The rental price is going to be matched based on class criteria, the higher the class the higher the price is. The application will match the hosts with clients based on their historical rating throughout the usage of applications. Ratings will be out of 5 and calculated by a total average of a user’s total ratings. This project/application will meet the needs of anyone who is stuck in the public transportation hole; while making it more flexible for the users on both sides. It will also ease the method of payment as it will have various ways to pay with whatever suits both parties of the agreement.
