Symfony class inheritance?

Im not sure if I need to use class inheritance but I'll explain what I'm trying to accomplish. Let's say I have two classes:

class Car
{
    protected $id;
    protected $make;
    protected $model;
    protected $price;

    public function getPrice()
    {
        return $this->price;
    }
    /* more getters and setters */

}

and another class:

class Order
{
    protected $id;
    protected $carId;
    protected $quantity;
    protected $price;

    /* getters and setters */

}

In my controller I have $carId and $quantity and I need to calculate the price of that order. To look from database perspective single order can have only one car but single car can have many orders. I know I can accomplish this by making another query to the database to get the price but I think there should be a better way to do it. Maybe with class inheritance I don't know. so I would really appreciate if anyone could explain me some other way on how to accomplish this.

You don't understand what you need. The case that you described is not about inheritance it is about relationship.

You need to add relation between Car and Order. If you use Doctrine as your ORM you can just follow instructions in the official documentation: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/doctrine.html#entity-relationships-associations

Then you can call $order->getCar() to get Car entity that is related to your order.
