# Ride Circle — Self-Drive Car Rental Platform Overview

## Introduction

Ride Circle is a comprehensive self-drive car rental marketplace designed to connect individual car owners (Hosts) with users seeking short-term rentals (Customers). The platform aims to merge the best features of leading services like Turo and Zoomcar and introduces advanced innovations such as biometric authentication, enhanced vehicle documentation through photos and videos, sophisticated damage assessment modules, and a robust CRM system tailored for hosts.

Ride Circle is built as a standalone, scalable web application intended to operate across unlimited cities and support both individual vehicle owners and franchise partners. It streamlines the entire rental journey from vehicle discovery and booking to payment processing, identity verification, vehicle handover, and post-trip incident handling, all within a secure and user-friendly interface.
