Introduction

5
 In today's digital age, communication has undergone a significant transformation.
Traditional methods like phone calls and emails are increasingly being replaced by
instant messaging and chat applications. These platforms offer the convenience of real-
time communication, allowing users to connect instantly with friends, family, and
colleagues across the globe.

• Despite their popularity, many existing chat applications have notable shortcomings.
They often lack essential features needed for effective communication, such as robust
friend management, seamless media sharing, and efficient group chat functionalities.
Furthermore, security vulnerabilities are a major concern, with many platforms failing
to provide adequate protection for users' personal information and chat data. This has
led to incidents of privacy breaches and data leaks, undermining user trust.

• To address these issues, Chatify has been developed as a comprehensive chat application.
Chatify aims to provide a robust and user-friendly communication tool that prioritizes
both functionality and security. Key features include secure user authentication, real-
time one-on-one and group messaging, media file sharing, and a notification system to
keep users informed of important activities.Car rental management system is a car
booking software that provides a complete solution to all your day-to-day car booking
office running needs.

• Chatify's focus on privacy and security ensures that users can communicate confidently,
knowing their data is protected. With planned future enhancements such as voice and
video calling, end-to-end encryption, and AI-powered chatbots, Chatify is poised to
offer an even richer and more secure communication experience.

Scope of Project

Chatify aims to provide a comprehensive set of features to enhance user communication

while ensuring security and user-friendliness. The key features include:

6
1. User Authentication: - Secure login and registration system to ensure only authorized

The proposed system

 Car rentals certainly have a big future, mainly due to fuel hikes and increasing price
rises of cars. Cab services and car rentals are growing in popularity and are easy on
the pocket. Some people, living in busy cities, prefer rentals because of lack of
sufficient parking spaces and rushing through their day with very little time on their
hands.

 The growth of the global car rental market is adequately measured in the graphic
made by Mordor Intelligence. Almost 80% of countries worldwide are of the view

8
 that car rentals are convenient and pocket-friendly. The main exception is Africa, but
a case could be made because of their underdeveloped economy.

 In near future, we are planning to hire cars daily basses are planning to add new
feature i.e., pay after the trip. We are working to increase automation in the system to
increase user experience great.

The Existing system

• Car Rental System service will help users to book a car for some fee specified. Till now
there was no clear web-based UI to help the users to rent the vehicle.
• They had to manually rent the vehicle through their offices. It was a difficult task to
manage rental vehicles. Keeping track of all the rental cars was a problem.
• This project traverses a lot of areas ranging from business concept to computing field,
and required to perform several researches to be able to achieve the project objectives.
The area covers include:
• Car rental industry: This includes study on how the car rental business is being done,
process involved and opportunity that exist for improvement.
• PHP Technology used for the development of the application.

9
• Web-platform means that the system will be available for access 24/7 except when there
is a temporary server issue which is expected to be minimal.
• General customers as well as the company’s staff will be able to use the system
effectively.

Objectives of system

• The project's goal is to automate vehicle rental and reservation so that clients don't have
to waste time calling and waiting for a vehicle. To convert the manual car rental
procedure into a digital method.

• A customer satisfaction test was used to validate the rental automobile system. As a
system development reference, create documents such as Software Requirement
Specification (SRS) and Software Design Description.

location, and availability dates.
 Filters should allow users to narrow down search results based on their preferences.

11
Booking System:
 Users should be able to select a vehicle and book it for specific dates.
 The system should display the total rental cost based on the selected dates and vehicle
price.
 Users should receive confirmation of their booking via email or SMS.

User Profile Management:

 Users should be able to view and edit their profile information.
 They should also be able to view their booking history and upcoming reservations.

Admin Dashboard:
 An admin dashboard should be available to manage the system.
 Admins should be able to add, edit, or remove vehicle listings.
 They should also be able to view and manage user bookings and profiles.

Payment Integration:

 Users should be able to make payments securely for their bookings.

 Payment gateway integration (such as PayPal, Stripe, etc.) should be implemented to
facilitate transactions.

Reviews and Ratings:

 Users should be able to leave reviews and ratings for vehicles they have rented.
 The system should display average ratings for each vehicle based on user feedback.

Security:
 User data should be securely stored and encrypted.
 Measures should be implemented to prevent unauthorized access and protect against
common security threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).

Test procedure and implementation

23
The implementation of the Wheels On Rent in PHP involves several stages, including design,
development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Here is an overview of the test procedure
and implementation process for the system:

Test Procedure:

Unit Testing:

• Test individual components of your PHP code, such as functions and methods, in

isolation.

• Use PHP Unit or another unit testing framework for PHP to automate and streamline the

process.

• Verify that each unit of code behaves as expected, including handling edge cases and error

conditions.

Integration Testing:

• Test the interaction between different modules or components within your PHP project.

• Ensure that data flows correctly between components and that integration points are

functioning as intended.

• Use realistic scenarios to simulate real-world usage and interactions.

System Testing:

24
 • Test the entire system as a whole, including the frontend (UI) and backend (server-side

logic).

• Perform end-to-end tests to verify that the system meets all user requirements.

• Test various user scenarios, such as registration, login, vehicle search, booking, and

profile management.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT):

• Involve real users or stakeholders to validate that the system meets their expectations and

needs.

• Conduct UAT sessions where users interact with the system and provide feedback.

• Address any issues or concerns raised during UAT and incorporate necessary changes.

Implementation Steps:

Setup Testing Environment:

• Create a dedicated testing environment separate from your production environment.

• Configure a test database and ensure it's populated with sample data for testing purposes.

Implement Unit Tests:

• Write unit tests for individual components of your PHP code using PHP Unit or another

suitable framework.

• Execute unit tests regularly to verify that code changes do not introduce regressions.
25
Perform Integration Testing:

• Test the interaction between different modules or layers of your PHP project.

• Verify that data flows correctly between components and integration points.

Drawbacks and Limitations of Wheels On Rent

Advantages

26
• A group of friends coming to town, collect a lot of baggage, your own car is not sufficient,

Renting something big, like a minivan, the vehicle for a journey. you can tell everyone. It is much

cheaper than a taxi service and allows you to stay in control.

• If you’re planning a romantic weekend, a convertible or luxury vehicle like the icing on

the cake to add mood and it is better to choose rent a car. If you have not been able to buy a new

one, for a couple of days.

• you are not forced to choose a higher model. Rent a car with your budget. You can also

decide to use your money other than on your car, for example, to completely erase a debt. In this

case, you simultaneously enjoy a new car.

• Before you go to search for rental car, look for the best coupons and deals. With the rental

car company, you can also download the coupon codes can be combined to double your savings.

If you’ve finished your reservation online or by phone, you may have to make sure that there are

no coupon codes.

• If the rental car is not yours, you have the advantage of enjoying the manufacturer’s

warranty. The guarantee is limited by time and distance travelled, and make sure these are clearly

stated in the lease agreement.

Disadvantages

• You will return to an assured tenancy at the end of lease agreement, you must return the

vehicle to an acceptable state, according to the normal condition. You must therefore take jealous

care.
27
Also note that it is essential to clearly define from the start which means “wear and tear” with the

seller in order not to face high penalties.

• The interest rate on a rental car from a dealer is often higher than that of a car purchased.

if your monthly payments are lower, you will have to pay more money.

Proposed Enhancements for Wheels On Rent

To improve the functionality, user experience, and overall effectiveness of the Wheels On Rent

implemented in PHP, several enhancements can be proposed:

• Car rentals certainly have a big future, mainly due to fuel hikes and increasing price rises

of cars. Cab services and car rentals are growing in popularity and are easy on the pocket. Some

28
people, living in busy cities, prefer rentals because of lack of sufficient parking spaces and

rushing through their day with very little time on their hands.

• The growth of the global car rental market is adequately measured in the graphic made by

Mordor Intelligence. Almost 80% of countries worldwide are of the view that car rentals are

convenient and pocket-friendly. The main exception is Africa, but a case could be made because

of their underdeveloped economy.

• In near future, we are planning to hire cars daily basses are planning to add new feature

i.e., pay after the trip. We are working to increase automation in the system to increase user

experience great.

Conclusion

38
• In comparison to previous experiences, when every activity related to the vehicle rental
business was restricted to a physical place alone, the car rental industry has emerged with
new delicacies.

• Even if the physical location has not been completely eliminated, the internet's power has
altered the nature of functions and how these tasks are accomplished.

• Customers may now book vehicles online, rent automobiles online, and have the car
delivered to their home if they are a registered member, or they can travel to the office to
pick up the car.

• Car rental business has emerged with a new goody compared to the past experience
where every activity concerning car rental business is limited to a physical location only.

• Even though the physical location has not been totally eradicated; the nature of functions
and how these functions are achieved has been reshaped by the power of internet.

• Nowadays, customers can reserve cars online, rent car online, and have the car brought to
their door step once the customer is a registered member or go to the office to pick the
car.

• The web-based car rental system has offered an advantage to both customers as well as
Car Rental Company.
