Project Summary

This project is aimed to propose a mobile application that will allow a person (lessor) to rent out their car through the application and another person (lessee) to hire that car for rent on the same application/platform. The idea is innovative and unique itself that allows the lessee to check a list of cars available in a specific area matching his/her requirements and needs. He can compare cars based on ratings provided by other users and prices and other factors as well.

After using the service, the user (lessee) can then provide his/her review and ratings for the car and the lessor which will rank the car and lessor on the application by a ranking algorithm on the application. The project is aimed to make lessor earn money by their vehicle and the lessee to find good quality, reliable and affordable cars with ease.

Considering the security situation and environment of our country. The application will allow lessor to track the location of his car in real-time on a map using the GPS services from the lessee’s mobile application. Once the car is allotted to someone. The lessor can view the current location of his car anytime from his app. This feature is what makes this application stand out from other traditional models of car renting applications. Moreover, the lessor can decide whether to post his car for rent or not by calculating the expected rent of his car/variant in that location. This feature will certainly help him to decide if he sees an attractive offer.

Project Objectives

• Provide users the power of peer to peer car renting and eliminating the monopoly of car renting companies.
• A platform where a lessee can get rent a suitable car within budget in a couple of minutes.
• A platform that allows the lessor to post his/her details car on the application and start earning through renting his/her car.

Project Implementation Method

The project is planned to be implemented through an android application. The single application will consist of both portals for the lessee and lessor. A tracking device will be installed in the car to provide safety assurance to the lessor. Through this setup, the lessor will be able to restrict the traveling area of his or her car. By tracking the car location on GPS, he or she can turn off the car by tracker if he or she finds that their car is in danger or the car has been brought out of the specified limit by the lessor.

Benefits of the Project

Have you ever tried to hire a car on rent? The struggle and long process make it so difficult that the user chooses taxis and other ride-hailing apps for the daily commute. The user has to go through the individual websites or mobile apps to search for a good and affordable car. Although there are few companies out there providing a user-friendly website or a mobile app to get things done.

The next option comes of visiting the car rental showrooms by own. How you are going to check the car is in good condition and safe to drive on road. Not everyone is a mechanic, right? And we all know the condition of rented cars. Here comes the role of CarSoul which will ensure the quality of car to customer by security checks and standards to maintain.

Moreover, the monopoly of the car renting industry makes renting prices so high that are not affordable for a middle or a lower-class man. And there are no proper maintenance and security of the car.

The lessor will be able to list his car on the application. The lessor can provide the hours in which the car will be available for available. The lessor can also apply restrictions whether the car will only be available for a 2-hour drive or the entire week. He/She can offer rates of his/her choice considering the rate provided by his/her competitors on the application. The lessor will receive requests from the lessee to rent his/her cars to which he can respond.

The lessee will be able to view the cars by category, brand, or a model/variant. He can check for the availability of the car and request to rent the car by filling out a form.

The rating system will help the lessee in ensuring the lessor and the car can be trusted and have a good reputation on the application. The lessee can also read reviews provided by other lessees which will help him/her to make better decision.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The automobile industry is thriving in Pakistan for the last five years and with increase in demand of cars, the prices are going up fast. It will be not wrong to say that a middle-class man earning 40,000 to 50,000 a month cannot afford a 2 million car. So, what choices he is left with? Ride-hailing apps? Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem remained generous to both the vendor and the customer but now, they are tearing apart both of the parties. Drivers are left with no bonuses with petrol prices touching the sky and the customer is left with high surged rates. What is the second affordable option? Renting a car? As described earlier, car renting industry is polluted with monopoly. Some big businessmen are running this industry. They set the rules, prices, standards and so on. With no competition in the market, the customer has no choice but to hire an expensive and low-quality car. This project is solely aimed to solve this problem. Considering the environment, culture, and security conditions in Pakistan, we decided to use a car tracking device (hardware) with this software project. The trustworthiness of the car tracker is known to people and this is the best device to use in this project.
