In most states, it is not legal for an interviewer to ask if you have a car, but they can ask if you have reliable transportation if it is a job requirement. The interviewer wants to ensure that if they hire you, you will be dependable and show up to work on time. Describe your means of reliable transportation, which might be a reliable vehicle you own, taking the bus, carpooling with coworkers, riding a bicycle or motorcycle, or calling an Uber or Lyft ride.
