In most states, it is illegal for an interviewer to ask if you have a car, which can create bias against your socioeconomic status or cause the interviewer to unfairly question your reliability. However, this rephrased question seeks to reveal the same information without asking it directly. There is no need to over-share by explaining how you plan to get to and from work. Simply tell the interviewer that you have the means to get to work consistently and on time.

"I have reliable transportation. I have a well-maintained vehicle, and I am comfortable with the amount of travel required to get to your office every day."

"I take public transit; however, I find it very reliable. I was late to work only once last year, and that was due to a snowstorm that stalled all of our employees' commutes, including those with personal vehicles. Rest assured, I am reliable and will always come to work on time."

I do have reliable transportation. I have a good car, and I live less than half an hour from IKEA, and I strive to be on time.
