BookCars is an open-source and cross-platform car rental platform and aggregator, supplier-oriented, with a backend for managing car fleets and bookings, as well as a frontend and a mobile app for renting cars.

BookCars is designed to work with multiple suppliers. Each supplier can manage his car fleet and bookings from the backend. BookCars can also work with only one supplier and can be used as a car rental aggregator as well.

From the backend, admin users can create and manage suppliers, cars, locations, users and bookings.

When new suppliers are created, they will receive an email prompting them to create an account in order to access the backend and manage their car fleet and bookings.

Users can sign up from the frontend or the mobile app, search for available cars based on pickup and drop-off points and time, choose a car and complete the checkout process.

A key design decision was made to use TypeScript instead of JavaScript due to its numerous advantages. TypeScript offers strong typing, tooling, and integration, resulting in high-quality, scalable, more readable and maintainable code that is easy to debug and test.
