Online reservation help

[effigy4130]

Hello,

I'm working on a website for a bike shop, and they want online bike rental reservation. Does anyone know the best way to go about that, or if there is any good open source out there to handle something like that.

Thanks!

Can be as simple as a form to me e-mailed to you; including:

name
address
phone (s)
e-mail
hire from
hire to
bike type
to a database/php/java/ssl system similar to car hire firms that in addition to the above

show the bikes,
check availability,
add insurance,
collect the money (credit cards)
print confirmation slips.
Or anything inbetween.

It is all a function of need, skill, expense and time.

Egroupware has an "asset management" tool.

Else Sourceforge or Freashmeat should have a "reservation" script. I looked at a few for a site a couple years ago, but the project was dropped.

Just make sure you find one that people continue to work on and do security updates.
