The interviewer cannot ask you if you own a vehicle as it can be viewed as discriminatory, but they can ask if you have reliable transportation if it is a job requirement. They want to see that if hired, you will be responsible and show up to work on time and that transportation will not be an issue. Reliable transportation can be a personal vehicle, a motorcycle, public transportation, a taxi, carpool, bicycle, or walking. Describe how you plan to get to work if they offer you the job.

You want to avoid responding in a way that makes the interviewer question your mode of transportation. For example, if you answer that you have an old car that breaks down sometimes or has trouble starting in cold weather, the interviewer might not view your transportation as reliable. If you own an unreliable vehicle, describe an alternate method that will be more reliable, such as a taxi or bus.

"Yes, I have a two-year-old Ford F-350 that is very reliable. I bought it new and have never had any issues with it. I follow regularly scheduled maintenance and keep it in excellent condition."
