Car Rental System - README Project Overview The Car Rental System is a Python-based desktop application built using the Tkinter library for the graphical user interface (GUI). The system allows administrators to manage a fleet of cars and customers to rent available cars. It keeps track of rental history, rental amounts, and the availability of cars, providing a simple yet efficient solution for car rental management.
