CarConnectDZ :Development of a car rental platform between individuals in Algeria

Abstract

In Algeria, the peer-to-peer car rental sector remains underdeveloped, facing several major obstacles such as user mistrust, the absence of rigorous identity verification, insecure financial transactions, and an underdeveloped digital ecosystem. International platforms do not sufficiently address local specificities economic, cultural, and regulatory thereby limiting their effectiveness in the Algerian market. This thesis proposes CarConnectDZ, an intuitive local platform specifically designed for the Algerian market. The solution integrates advanced user verification based on driver’s licenses, a secure payment system tailored to local financial infrastructure, and a user and vehicle rating mechanism to enhance trust and transparency. Additionally, digital, automated, and paperless rental agreements compliant with local laws are offered to simplify the rental process. The technical architecture of CarConnectDZ is based on an API developed with Node.js and a web application built using React. This technological approach is intended to effectively meet the expectations of the Algerian market while promoting digital transformation in the car rental sector.
