Vehicle Rental System 🚗🚐

A sleek GUI-based desktop application built in C# with Windows Forms = mini-project.

---

📋 Overview

The Vehicle Rental System is a user-friendly application that allows customers to rent vehicles (Cars or Vans) by selecting models, destinations, and locations. It calculates rental costs for single-day and two-day periods, demonstrating encapsulation and polymorphism in a clean Windows Forms interface.

Developed for the IT21053 mini-project, this project showcases object-oriented programming principles with a focus on simplicity and functionality.

✨ Features

• Vehicle Selection:
  • 🛻 Cars: Alto, Prius, Axio.
  • 🚐 Vans: KDH, HiAce, Every.
• Dynamic Cost Calculation:
  • Costs vary by vehicle type and destination:
    • Car: Colombo (Rs. 5000), Kandy (Rs. 6000), Galle (Rs. 6500).
    • Van: Colombo (Rs. 8000), Kandy (Rs. 10000), Galle (Rs. 10500).
  • Supports single-day and two-day rentals.
• Intuitive Interface:
  • Form1: Select vehicle, model, destination, and location using ComboBoxes.
  • Form2: Displays rental details and costs with a return button.
• Seamless Navigation:
  • Calculate costs and view results in Form2.
  • Return to Form1 with a single click.

🛠 OOP Concepts

This project implements two core OOP principles:

• 🔒 Encapsulation:
  • Private fields (model, type) in Vehicle.cs are accessed via public properties (Model, Type), ensuring data integrity.
  • Example: Form2 safely displays vehicle details like "Car - Alto".
• 🔄 Polymorphism:
  • Method Overriding: CalculateCost in Car.cs and Van.cs provides vehicle-specific pricing.
  • Method Overloading: CalculateCost in Vehicle.cs handles single-day and multi-day rentals.
  • Example: Form2 shows tailored costs based on vehicle and destination.
