Question:
With the growing popularity of e-hailing there is a growing need for people who want to be able
to access convenient, affordable, and safe transport to and from wherever they may want to go.
Being a part of the driver community for an environment such as this is not always the easiest
thing as the drivers of these e-hailing vehicles are normally the owners of the cars, meaning their
car is for both work and leisure, which can take a huge toll on the car itself.
Because the maintenance of the car is also normally solely dependent on the owner unless they
have a motor plan or service plan, working everyday with their cars means this service period
comes quick and fast and the renewal of these plans can prove to be a little costly, which
sometimes makes it a whole lot harder to maintain a solid career as an e-hailing driver.
“The Ride You Rent” is a new start-up that hopes to solve that issue by providing drivers with the
ability to rent out a car for a specified amount of time to perform their regular e-hailing duties and
once done they can return the vehicle and not have to worry about the maintenance. At present
they have been capturing cars and tracking rentals using a paper-based flat-file system, which can
become very hard to manage on a day-to-day basis.
The Ride You Rent has sent out an RFQ to contractors who can develop a management system
where they can manage drivers, rentals and returns on all their rental vehicles, as well as track
any late fees that could be incurred should a driver return a car after the specified rental time.
They would like to be able to access this system from a desktop computer as well as a mobile
phone, as some of the Inspectors are normally sent out to collect the vehicles at pick-up points, if
the drivers are not able to return them straight to the depot. In the spirit of moving to a paperless
system they want the Inspectors to be able to log the return using a mobile phone as soon as the
vehicle is collected.
They do plan on expanding the system to add more functionality but for now they only need the
Driver, Inspector, Vehicle, Rental, and Return Management functionality designed and developed
