Overview

The Cab Capacity Warning feature in Rentlz ensures that users select an appropriate cab type according to the number of riders added to a booking. This feature prevents cases where the selected cab cannot accommodate all riders, improving booking accuracy and reducing operational errors.

This feature helps maintain consistency and correctness in cab bookings.
It alerts users when the number of riders exceeds the selected cab’s seating capacity and guides them to correct the issue before proceeding further.

How this feature works

The warning message appears when the following condition is met:

Number of Riders > Cab Capacity

This validation occurs when a user attempts to proceed from the Trip Details page after selecting a cab type.
