DriveHub — Car Rental Platform

Features Customer-facing Browse fleet with search, filters (city, type, transmission, price), and sorting Car details page with image gallery, specs, and a live price calculator Booking with automatic double-booking prevention (date-overlap check) and server-calculated pricing (base rate + optional driver + optional insurance + service fee) Register / Login (JWT-based) My Bookings — view booking history and cancel pending/active bookings Nav bar adapts to login state across all public pages (Sign in → user name → role-based shortcut to Dashboard or My Bookings) Admin Bookings — view all bookings, update status (Pending → Active → Completed / Cancelled) Fleet — add new cars (with image upload to Cloudinary), edit car details, toggle availability, delete cars Customers — view all registered users, block/unblock accounts Settings — edit own profile (name/phone), and edit business-wide fees (driver fee/day, insurance fee/day, flat service fee) — these feed directly into every new booking's price calculation, and the customer-facing price estimate always matches because both read from the same source.

Deployment The frontend and backend are deployed separately — this project is a NestJS server with a real database connection, which doesn't fit a serverless platform like Vercel. Vercel hosts the frontend; Railway hosts the backend and database.

Roadmap (Future Expansion) Planned next, roughly in priority order:

AI-powered features using NVIDIA Nemotron (chatbot assistant, natural-language search → filters, smart car recommendations) Real reviews system (submit + display, tied to completed bookings) Payment gateway integration (Stripe/local gateway sandbox) Email notifications for booking lifecycle events Wishlist/favorites for customers Booking invoice as downloadable PDF Forgot-password flow
