Abstract : This abstract provides an overview of strategies and technologies aimed at improving car maintenance and rental operations to enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Effective car maintenance is essential to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of rental vehicles. Proactive maintenance practices, such as regular inspections and timely repairs, help prevent breakdowns and reduce repair costs. Implementing a preventive maintenance schedule based on manufacturer recommendations and leveraging real-time vehicle diagnostics can identify issues before they escalate. In rental operations, fleet management systems play a crucial role in optimizing vehicle utilization, reducing downtime, and enhancing customer experiences. Advanced telematics solutions allow rental companies to monitor vehicle location, performance, and driver behavior in real-time, facilitating proactive decision-making and efficient fleet allocation. Furthermore, data analytics and predictive maintenance algorithms can further enhance maintenance efficiency by identifying patterns and predicting component failures before they occur. Integrating these technologies into a centralized rental management platform streamlines operations and reduces costs. The integration of connected car technologies, such as IoT sensors and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, opens up new possibilities for remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and automated repair scheduling. These technologies enable rental companies to address maintenance needs promptly, improving vehicle availability and customer satisfaction. In conclusion, a comprehensive approach to car maintenance and rental operations, combining proactive maintenance practices, advanced telematics, data analytics, and connected car technologies, is essential for optimizing fleet performance and customer experiences. Embracing these strategies can lead to reduced maintenance costs, improved vehicle uptime, and enhanced rental service quality.
