Overview:

The Parking Spot Rent Platform is a web application that allows property owners to rent out their unused parking spaces (in homes, apartments, or offices) to people looking for short-term or long-term parking in congested areas. This platform works like Airbnb but specifically for parking spots — offering map-based search, booking, timing control, and payment processing.

Perfect for students interested in real-world logistics, location-based services, and booking systems.

Technologies Used:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript (or React.js for advanced UI)

• Backend: PHP / Node.js / Java (Spring Boot)
