Legally, the interviewer cannot ask if you own a vehicle, as that can be discriminatory. However, they can ask if you have reliable transportation if it is a job requirement. The interviewer wants to ensure that getting to work on time will not be an issue if hired. Reliable transportation includes public transit, personal vehicle, carpool, taxi, motorcycle or bicycle, or walking. Describe what reliable transportation you will use if hired, assuring the interviewer that transportation will not be an issue.

You want to avoid answering that you do not have a plan of how to get to work if hired. If you do not have reliable transportation figured out in your interview, the interviewer may think you are unprepared and may not be a dependable employee.

"Yes, I do have reliable transportation. I own a 2020 Toyota Truck and have never had a mechanical issue. I keep up with the regularly scheduled maintenance and have roadside assistance if I ever need it. I have never been late to work because of transportation issues."
