This is a web application project for managing a car rental company.

The company owns a set of vehicles. Vehicles are divided into 5 categories (A…E), according to their size.

Each car is also characterized by a brand (e.g., Audi, Ford, Fiat, Mercedes, …) and a model (i.e., a string).

Unauthenticated users may browse a list containing the full set of vehicles, and the list may be filtered by category and/or brand (the user may simultaneously select one or more categories and one or more brands). The list of vehicles updates in real time as soon as the filters are modified.

Once authenticated, users have access to an interactive configuration page, that replaces the original browsing page. In the configurator, they can set the parameters for their new rental. Rental parameters are: starting day, end day, car category, driver’s age, number of extra drivers, estimated number of kilometers per day, extra insurance (yes/no).

For each combination, if all parameters are correctly specified, the page should interactively show the number of available cars (matching all criteria), and the rental price for that solution. The number of available cars must count how many cars in the right category are available in all the days of the rental.

The rental price is computed by considering different factors, that are also affected by the number of available vehicles (when fewer vehicles would remain, the price grows higher). Also, after 3 successful finished rentals, the customer gains a 10% discount over all his/her new rentals.

If the user accepts the proposal in the interactive configurator (the specific car is selected by the system), he/she must pay immediately, as soon as he/she confirms the reservation.

Authenticated users, in addition, in a dedicated page may check the list of their future reservations (and possibly cancel them) and check the history of their current or past rentals.
