Vehicle Rental Management System

Overview

This project is a simple vehicle rental management system developed in C++. It allows administrators to manage vehicle and customer records, and customers to rent and return vehicles.

Features

• Admin functionalities:

  • Add new vehicles
  • Add new customers
  • View all vehicles and customers

• Customer functionalities:

  • Rent vehicles
  • Return vehicles
  • View available vehicles

• Data Management:

  • Save rented vehicles and available vehicles to CSV files for persistent storage.
  • Track rental information, including customer details, rental dates, rental periods, and total costs.

Requirements

• C++ Compiler (e.g., g++, clang++)
• Standard C++ libraries
• File system access for CSV operations

Usage

Upon starting the program, select whether you are an admin or a customer. Follow the prompts to add vehicles, customers, or rent/return vehicles as needed. The data will be stored in CSV files (rented_vehicles.csv, vehicles.csv) for future reference.

Code Structure

• main.cpp: Contains the main function and user interface.
• Vehicle: Base class for all vehicle types.
• Bicycle, Bike, Car, Truck: Derived classes representing specific vehicle types.
• Customer: Class to manage customer details.
• Rental: Class that handles vehicle rentals, including rental records and CSV file management.

Future Improvements

• Implement user authentication for admin and customer accounts.
• Add a feature to view and manage rental history for customers.
• Enhance the user interface for better user experience.
