ABSTRACT:

This project is simple to sign up for the user and customer have logged in to the website for bookings by entering their
user’s name and password. Every bike has information available. Details provided by clients, such as the booking dates,
for reservations. Features and an overview are also included in the bike information. One more feature Simple to pre-
return and return for the bicycle. The reservation's return date has passed Give a daily fine of 200 rupees each day. All
control is with the admin. The admin has the ability to add bikes and view their details. Administrators can easily operate
and comprehend it. When an administrator views the bike's details and detects a problem, the vehicle is deactivated.
Check out the booking details and report any issues (such as a misaligned mob name or a customer license image). An
admin cancelled a reservation. The user won't have any trouble understanding, using, or navigating the relatively
straightforward design.
