======================================================================

1. This scraper is to find the value of vehicle rental at 7 day, 14 day and 21 day hires for selected vehicles on selected sites

2. Note - these are **NOT** the real websites to crawl, so do not bid until you find out the name of the sites from me via private message.

3. Start Location: For form submission - the pickup location of the vehicle

4. End Location: For form submission - the dropoff location of the vehicle

5. Select Vehicle: Can select up to 4 cars - we can type the name of the vehicles we want to search (The name is unique; eg not Ford Fairlane, not 'sedan')

6. Select Website: Can select up to 4 websites to crawl - these will contain the selected vehicles above

7. Email Address: The final report is an excel spreadsheet sent to this email address.

8. Submit: This is where you work your Regex skills. You crawl the selected sites:

- grab the rates for a selected vehicle

- go the selected website

- get 7,14,21 day hire rates at the first of each month for the select vehicle for selected location

- get the rates for either the next 12 months after the current month, see spreadsheet

- repeat the steps for the next selected vehicle and next selected site

- the output should be in the format of the excel spreadsheet here.
