9. The recent boom in the era of internet has ensured that all type of services, sales and
products to be made online. Business has become more efficient for both the business
person and the customers. It is now fast, accessible from anywhere and anytime and
avoid the hefty physical transactions. The project Online Vehicle Rental System
keeping all these things in mind provides a total solution to the field of auto rental
industry.
The idea behind the proposed website is to develop consistent, robust and user-
friendly software that allows visitors and customers to rent any vehicle as per his/her
requirements, for required duration and in any of the selected cities. This service will
work round the clock and thus will allow anyone to book or rent a vehicle in a city
without any time restriction, board the vehicle at his choice of location, pay for the
rental online and could also provide valuable feedback for improvement in products
and services.
1.1.1 OBJECTIVE
1) Availability of vehicle round the clock.
2) Wide range of vehicles including:
a) Cars
b) SUVs
c) Utility Vans
d) Buses
e) Two Wheelers
3) Pickup and drop-off locations according to choice
4) Vendor details of each vehicle
5) Maintaining record of every booking history.
6) Feedback mechanism for increasing service quality
7) Contact Details of every vendor
8) Online payment option
9) Location wise search of vendors
10) Receipt and online voucher generation
11) Login and account generation

1.1.2 SCOPE
10. 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.
• JAVA 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 available for access 24/7 except
when there is a temporary server issue which is expected to be minimal.
• Eco-friendly: The monitoring of the vehicle activity and the overall business becomes
easy and includes the least of paper work.
• The software acts as an office that is open 24/7.
• It increases the efficiency of the management at offering quality
services to the customers.
• It provides custom features development and support with the software
1.1.3 PURPOSE
A car rental is a vehicle that can be used temporarily for a fee during a specified period.
Getting a rental car helps people get around despite the fact they do not have access to their
own personal vehicle or don't own a vehicle at all. The individual who needs a car must
contact a rental car company and contract out for a vehicle. This system increases customer
retention and simplify vehicle and staff management.

11. 3.1 SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Before developing any new system anywhere, it is imperative upon the developers to
acquaint themselves with environment in which the proposed system would be installed.
Also, it is necessary to interact with the user regarding their demands and the resources
available with them. This gives a clear overview of the improvements wanted and to be
provided. The study and analysis of the proposed system was carried out diligently under
the guidance of experts of the organization. In the existing system, all the work is being
carried out manually. Computers available are just for typing in the excel sheets. Besides
him, we have checked an earlier package being done in FoxPro and the reports created in
Excel sheets for more hints.
3.2 PROBLEMS IN EXISTING SYSTEM
1. This project is being considered in order to reduce and totally eliminate loss of
customers to competitors, and save the company from folding up.
2. The current system is manual and it is time consuming. It is also cost ineffective, and
average return is low and diminishing. Currently, customers can call or walk-in in order to
rent or reserve a vehicle. The staff of the company will check their file to see which vehicle
is available for rental.
3. The current system is error prone and customers are dissatisfied. The goal of this project
is to automate vehicle rental and reservation so that customers do not need to walk-in or
call in order to reserve a vehicle.
4. There is huge amount of amount of paperwork involved in the process
5. The system makes a general report about the rented vehicles once at the end of the
month and generates a report.
6. He/she is expected to go to the organization to make reservation.
7. During renting a vehicle the customer personal information, payments status and rent
agreements are filled in the car rent agreement form ,in order to hold legal contract between
the customer and vendor for renting the vehicle
7
12. 3.3 CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
1) The proposed project keeps in mind the undermacies of the current system as stated
earlier.
2) It consists of a login portal for customers, vendors and staff.
3) Distance and position calculated by Google API and Google Maps.
4) Online voucher and invoice generation.
5) Instant reservation confirmation or Payment Confirmation by mail or SMS.
6) Reminders on timings of vehicles and pickups.
7) Pick-up and drop-off at multiple locations.
8) Different currency support for foreign customers.
9) It will also keep track of all vehicle reservation and return. Reports will be generated bi-
weekly.
10) Feedback and reviews from the users who have already used the service
11) The working in the organization will be well planned and organized. The data will be
stored properly in data stores, which will help in retrieval of information as well as its
storage.
12) The level of accuracy in the proposed system will be higher. All operation would be
done correctly and it ensures that whatever information is coming from the center is
accurate.
13) The system should be easy to operate and should be such that it can be developed within
a short period of time and fit in the limited budget of the user.
14) In the proposed system utmost care would be that no information is repeated anywhere,
in storage or otherwise. This would assure economic use of storage space and
consistency in the data stored.
8
15) The reliability of the proposed system will be high due to the above stated reasons.
The reason for the increased reliability of the system is that now there would be proper
storage of information.
13. 16) The main objective of proposed system is to provide for a quick and efficient retrieval
of information. Any type of information would be available whenever the user requires.
17) In manual system there are many problems to store the largest amount of information.

4.2 NON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Non-functional requirements, as the name suggests, are requirements that are not directly
concerned with the specific services delivered by the system to its users. They may relate to
emergent system properties such as reliability, response time, and store occupancy .
Alternatively, they may define constraints on the system implementation such as the
capabilities of I/O devices or the data representations used in interfaces with other
systems. Non-functional requirements, such as performance, security, or availability,
usually specify or constrain characteristics of the system as a whole. .
Usability
The system provides a help and support menu in all interfaces for the user to interact
with the system.
The user can use the system by reading help and support.
Security
The system provides username and password to prevent the system from unauthorized
access.
The staffs’ password must be greater than eight characters.
Performance
The system response time for every instruction conducted by the user must not exceed
more than a minimum of 10 seconds.
The system should have high performance rate when executing user’s input and
should be able to provide response with in a short time span usually 50 second for highly
complicated task and 20 to 25 seconds for less complicated task.
Availability
The system should always be available for access at 24 hours, 7 days a week. Also in the
occurrence of any major system malfunctioning, the system should be available in 1 to 2
working days, so that business process is not severely affect.
