🗄️ Database

The project uses MySQL with three main tables:

• cars
• customers
• rentals

The database stores vehicle details, customer information, rental records, rental dates, return dates and vehicle status.

💰 Rental Calculation

The system automatically calculates the rental amount:

Total Price = Price Per Day × Rental Days

For example:

₹800 per day × 3 days = ₹2400

🚘 Vehicle Status

The system automatically manages vehicle availability.

AVAILABLE → RENTED → AVAILABLE

When a vehicle is rented, its status changes to RENTED.

When the vehicle is returned, its status automatically changes back to AVAILABLE.
