Car Rental System

Description

It’s a high quality, native and responsive WordPress plugin to rent a car, created by experienced Silicon Valley engineers. 100% of it’s code is written by using native WordPress functions, so it much faster and secure than other similar plugins. Also – we made it compatible with WordPress Multisite, WPML & Multi-language setup with native support for WordPress date, email & time settings.

Plus – we love mobile-first designs – that’s why we used Bootstrap, Font Awesome icons, Slick Slider, CSS3 and HTML5 techniques with smooth image resizing to 4 different sizes to make sure that your cars would look great on all mobile devices, tablets, full-screen previews and pages with many WordPress free & Premium designs – like WP Car Rental (most favorable), Cars4Rent (popular), TanTum (new), Avada or BeTheme theme.

Now both – your car rental business and website can run smoothly, by accepting online reservations and managing your entire fleet, from one control panel. By offering highly-customizable reservation system, your customers will be able to see vehicles availability, and make online reservations with a few clicks.

Our plugin is scalable –
it’s source code is fully object-oriented, clean & logical, based on MVC architectural pattern
with templates engine, compliant with
strict PSR-2 coding standard
and PSR-4 autoloaders,
and easy to understand how to add new features on your own.
Our plugin has four security layers – all input data validation with data-patterns,
output escaping, ReCaptcha anti-spam protection and
API scanner to allow only legal requests. Plus it has detailed logs for individual review.
Our plugin works well with big databases –
we created optimal BCNF database structure.
Our plugin is ready for high-traffic websites –
we tested it on live website with 1M customers database and 500,000 active daily views.
Our plugin supports server-side accelerators and template-caching –
it works well with HTTP reverse proxy web application accelerators,
i.e. Varnish, and supports
WordPress template caching plugins, i.e.
W3Total Cache or WP Super Cache.
