8. Do you have reliable transportation?
How to Answer
The interviewer is not allowed to ask if you own a vehicle, as it can be discriminatory. However, they can ask if you have reliable transportation if it is part of the job requirement. Reliable transportation can include a private vehicle, bicycle, bus, train, subway, carpool, taxi, walking, or a motorcycle. The interviewer wants to know that you will show up to work on time and that transportation will not be an issue if they hire you. Describe your means of travel and a backup plan if the other mode seems unreliable.

Answer Example
"Yes, I have several means of reliable transportation. I have a motorcycle and a truck, both of which are less than five years old. They have both been reliable, and I have never had an issue with either. I perform regularly scheduled maintenance and have AAA if I ever need roadside assistance."
