Online Car Rental Booking System in Python

A Car Rental or Car Hire Agency is a company that rents automobiles for a short period of time to the public. Let us create Online Car Rental System project using Django in easy steps.

About the Online Car Rental Booking System

The users in need of a car can rent cars for a few days at a minimal amount rather than buying a new car. It is also important for the users that already have a car, they can also rent any vehicle for a day or so. This system not only will help the people in need of a car as mentioned above but also for the car dealers or sellers who can give their cars or vehicles on rental basis and earn a lot out of it.

Python Online Car Rental System:

The purpose of this project is to make rented cars or vehicles available for the people who want to travel alone or with their family and friends from one place to another.

Project Prerequisites:

Project File Structure:

• Creating the project and an app inside it.
• Creating a separate folder for the templates.
• Also creating a separate folder for all the media.
• Running the migrate command and then creating a superuser.
• Then creating urls, models and views files.

Models.py:

from django.db import models
from django.core.validators import *
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
 
class Location(models.Model):
    city = models.CharField(max_length=50)
 
    def __str__(self):
        return self.city
 
class CarDealer(models.Model):
    car_dealer = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    phone =  models.CharField(validators = [MinLengthValidator(10), MaxLengthValidator(10)], max_length = 10)
    location = models.OneToOneField(Location, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    earnings = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    type = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True)
 
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.car_dealer)
 
class Car(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to="")
    car_dealer = models.ForeignKey(CarDealer, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    capacity = models.CharField(max_length=2)
    location = models.ForeignKey(Location, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
    is_available = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    rent = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True)
 
    def __str__(self):
        return self.name
 
class Customer(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    phone = models.CharField(validators = [MinLengthValidator(10), MaxLengthValidator(10)], max_length = 10)
    location = models.ForeignKey(Location, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    type  = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True)
 
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.user)
 
class Order(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    car_dealer = models.ForeignKey(CarDealer, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    car = models.ForeignKey(Car, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    rent = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    days = models.CharField(max_length=3)
    is_complete = models.BooleanField(default=False)

Urls.py :

from django.urls import path
from . import views
 
urlpatterns = [
    path("", views.index, name="index"),
    path("customer_signup/", views.customer_signup, name="customer_signup"),
    path("customer_login/", views.customer_login, name="customer_login"),
    path("car_dealer_signup/", views.car_dealer_signup, name="car_dealer_signup"),

]

Code Explanation:
The above-mentioned code gives all the urls used in this project for the customers and the car dealers.

1. Home Page (index.html):

<div class="container mt-4">
    <div>
      <h1 class="display-4">ProjectGurukul Online Car Rental System</h1>
      <p class="lead">You can select from the wide range of Cars available.</p>
      <hr class="my-4">
    </div>
    <div class="row mt-4">
{% for car in cars %}
      <div class="col-sm-4 mt-4">
        <div class="card" style="width: 20rem; height: 23rem;">
          <img class="card-img-top" src="/media/{{car.image}}" alt="Card image cap" height="260px">
          <div class="card-body">
            <h5 class="card-title">Car Name: {{car.name}}</h5>
            <h6 class="card-text">Car Dealer: <b>{{car.car_dealer}}</b></h6>
            <p class="card-text">Rent: ₹ {{car.rent}} per day</p>
            <a href="/customer_login/" class="btn btn-primary">Login to Rent </a>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      {% endfor %}
    </div>
  </div>

Views.py:

def index(request):
    cars = Car.objects.all()
    return render(request, "index.html", {'cars':cars})

Code Explanation:
The home page consists of all the cars from the Car model inside the cards using a for loop. The car name, car dealer and rent of the car per day is displayed on the cards. It asks the users to register themselves as customers to rent any of the cars.

2. Car Dealers Home Page (all_cars.html):

<div class="container">
    {% if cars %}
    <h1 class="mt-4">Cars List</h1>
    <div class="users-table mt-4">
        <table>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <th>Car Name</th>
                    <th>Image</th>
                    <th>City</th>
                    <th>Capacity</th>
                    <th>Delete</th>
                </tr>
                {% for car in cars %}
                <tr>
                    <td>{{car.name}}</td>
                    <td><img src="{{car.image.url}}" alt="" width="100px" height="100px"></td>
                    <td>{{car.location.city}}</td>
                    <td>{{car.capacity}}</td>
                    <td><a href="/delete_car/{{car.id}}/" class="btn btn-danger"
                            onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete {{car.name}}?')">Delete</a></td>
                </tr>
                {% endfor %}
            </tbody>
        </table>
        {% else %}
        <br>
        <h2>No Cars Added Yet</h2>
        {% endif %}
    </div>

Views.py:

def all_cars(request):
    dealer = CarDealer.objects.filter(car_dealer=request.user).first()
    cars = Car.objects.filter(car_dealer=dealer)
    return render(request, "all_cars.html", {'cars':cars})

Code Explanation:
When the car dealer logs in, he can see all the cars added by him in a table format using a for loop. According to the logged in car dealer the cars are filtered and displayed.

3. Car Dealers Adding Cars (add_car.html):

<div class="container">

        city = request.POST['city']
        image = request.FILES['image']
        capacity = request.POST['capacity']
        rent = request.POST['rent']
        car_dealer = CarDealer.objects.get(car_dealer=request.user)
        try:
            location = Location.objects.get(city=city)
        except:
            location = None
        if location is not None:
            car = Car(name=car_name, car_dealer=car_dealer, location=location, capacity=capacity, image=image, rent=rent)
        else:
            location = Location(city=city)
            car = Car(name=car_name, car_dealer=car_dealer, location=location, capacity=capacity, image=image, rent=rent)

        alert = True
        return render(request, "add_car.html", {'alert':alert})

def past_orders(request):
    all_orders = []
    user = User.objects.get(username=request.user)
    try:
        orders = Order.objects.filter(user=user)
    except:
        orders = None
    if orders is not None:
        for order in orders:
            if order.is_complete == False:
                order_dictionary = {'id':order.id, 'rent':order.rent, 'car':order.car, 'days':order.days, 'car_dealer':order.car_dealer}
                all_orders.append(order_dictionary)
    return render(request, "past_orders.html", {'all_orders':all_orders})
