Abstract

In today’s fast-paced digital economy, efficiency and trust are crucial, particularly in financial transactions and resource-sharing services. The growing interest in car-sharing platforms and blockchain technology has paved the way for decentralized solutions that enhance security, transparency, and automation. This paper presents a decentralized car rental solution built on blockchain technology, using smart contracts to ensure secure, tamper-proof, and trustful transactions. The proposed system allows users to browse and rent available vehicles, select suitable options based on their needs, and set rental terms seamlessly. Furthermore, car owners and businesses can rent out their unused vehicles for rent while specifying features, images, and pricing. The rental process is governed by blockchain-based identity management and smart contract enforcement, eliminating intermediaries and reducing operational risks. A key focus of this work is privacy and data protection. The system incorporates cryptographic techniques, access control mechanisms, and smart contract security best practices to mitigate risks such as fraud, unauthorized access, and data manipulation. Using blockchain immutability, decentralized identity verification, and secure payment channels, the platform improves user trust and prevents common vulnerabilities seen in traditional rental systems. Through this blockchain-based approach, we provide a secure, efficient, and transparent alternative to conventional car rental services, fostering greater trust among users while minimizing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
