Car Hiring System

This Java program represents a simple Car Hiring System implemented using Swing for the graphical user interface. The system includes two main classes, Car and Customer, which model cars and customers, respectively. The primary functionality is managed by the CarHiringSystem class, which extends JFrame to create a GUI for interacting with the car hiring system.
