Abstract

This study examines the development of CaRs, a comprehensive car rental system designed to enhance service delivery within Ghana's evolving digital landscape. The research focuses on the impact of fleet optimization, technological integration, and customer service enhancements, with a mediating role of user accessibility and a moderating effect of pricing models. By analyzing these interactions, the study investigates how they collectively improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction in the car rental industry. A quantitative approach was employed, incorporating system performance evaluations and user feedback from 500 participants via structured surveys. Data analysis was conducted using Smart PLS (Partial Least Squares) to assess system usability, fleet management efficiency, and service responsiveness. The findings indicate that technological integration and expanded fleet capacity significantly enhance the reliability and accessibility of car rental services. User accessibility emerged as a key mediator, demonstrating its role in streamlining booking and inquiry processes. Additionally, pricing models were identified as a crucial moderating factor, influencing customer adoption and service scalability. By leveraging a web-based architecture utilizing HTML5, CSS, Bootstrap, PHP, and JavaScript, CaRs offers a responsive, user-centric platform that efficiently manages bookings, customer interactions, and vehicle maintenance scheduling. The results underscore the system’s potential to redefine Ghana’s car rental industry, providing a scalable, technology-driven alternative that optimizes service delivery for both providers and customers.
