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

Deploy your own customizable car rental solution at minimal cost using the [Docker-based setup](https://github.com/aelassas/bookcars/wiki/Installing-(Docker)). The platform integrates Stripe for secure payments and can be efficiently hosted on a 1GB RAM droplet, making it an ideal choice for single/multi-supplier operations looking for a scalable and cost-effective solution. You can deploy this solution for under $5 monthly using cloud providers like [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/) or [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets).
This project emerged from a desire to build without boundaries – a fully customizable and operational car rental platform and mobile app where every aspect is within your control:

- **Own the UI/UX**: Design unique customer experiences without fighting against template limitations
- **Control the Backend**: Implement custom business logic and data structures that perfectly match the requirements
- **Master DevOps**: Deploy, scale, and monitor the application with preferred tools and workflows
- **Extend Freely**: Add new features and integrations without platform constraints or additional fees

Technical Requirements:

- **Payment Gateway**:
- Implement a secure, internationally supported payment gateway
- Ensure compatibility across multiple countries and currencies
- **DevOps**:
- Deploy using Docker containers for consistency and scalability
- Host on minimal infrastructure (1GB RAM server)
- Maintain monthly hosting costs under $5 using providers like [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/) or [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets)
- Optimize resource usage for efficient operation

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.
