Car Rental System (Native WordPress Plugin)

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 Car Rental Theme (live demo), 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.

Is scalable
It’s source code is fully object-oriented, clean & logical, based on MVC architectural pattern
with templates engine, compliant with
strict PSR-12 coding standard
and PSR-4 autoloaders,
and easy to understand how to add new features on your own.

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.

Works well with big databases
We created optimal BCNF database structure.

Is ready for high-traffic websites
We tested it on live website with 1M customers database and 500,000 active daily views.

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.

• Code, that is nice to read, modify & extend. Based on OOP MVC architectural pattern for plugin code with Templates support. Controllers load templates via views, and use models to prepare the view in the controller. All templates (html), all assets (js, css, img), demo gallery, and all sql data (import demo, install and reset) are now only in extension folder. And only template defines which assets it needs to load (not register, as assets registration happens in front/admin loaders), except for global css styles (not shortcodes css), which is used out the plugin shortcodes scope
• Separated deactivation, activation, activation with install, network activate with install, uninstall, network uninstall processes. So data won’t get deleted on disable or re-activation
• Informative messages and debug. All okay/error/debug messages engine. Each model has it’s own okay/error messages stack, and debug setting ON/OFF. Plus only controllers are taking care of printing stacked okay/error/debug messages from models, and they depend on WordPress WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY settings only
