Car Rental Management System

This system is designed for a Car Rental Co. (CRC). The information required includes a description of cars, subcontractors (i.e. garages), company expenditures, company revenues and customers.
Cars are to be described by such data as: make, model, year of production, engine size, fuel type, number of passengers, registration number, purchase price, purchase date, rent price and insurance details.
Factors which should be taken into account in specifying and designing this system are:
- It is the company policy not to keep any car for a period exceeding one year.
- All major repairs and maintenance are done by subcontractors (i.e. franchised garages), with whom CRC has long-term agreements.
- Some garages require payments immediately after a repair has been made; with others CRC has made arrangements for credit facilities.
- Company expenditures are to be registered for all outgoings connected with purchases, repairs, maintenance, insurance etc. Similarly the cash inflow coming from all sources - car hire, car sales, insurance claims - must be kept of file.
- CRC maintains a reasonably stable client base. For this privileged category of customers special credit card facilities are provided.
- These customers may also book in advance a particular car. These reservations can be made for any period of time up to one month.
- Casual customers must pay a deposit for an estimated time of rental, unless they wish to pay by credit card. All major credit cards care accepted.
