The interviewer cannot legally ask if you own a vehicle, as it can be discriminatory. However, they can ask if you will have an issue traveling to patients' homes if that is listed in the job description. The interviewer asks this question to determine if you meet their requirement and that there will be no issues with transportation to patients' homes.

Focus on describing the form of reliable transportation you will use to get to work if hired. Assure the interviewer that traveling to patients' homes will not be an issue and that you understand it is one of the job requirements.

Avoid saying you have an issue traveling within a 50-mile radius or that you have an old vehicle that is somewhat unreliable. If the interviewer feels that you will be challenging to work with or late to work because your car broke down, they will pass you over for another candidate.

"No, I saw in the job description that travel is required, and that will not be a problem. I enjoy driving, so I look forward to that aspect of the job. I have a 2018 Honda Accord that is in excellent mechanical condition. I perform the recommended routine maintenance and have never had an issue with it."
