Renting a Car.
Sometimes we need to rent a car because ours isn’t working, or we’re away from home and don’t have a car available. It could be a short-term rental or a long-term rental.
Do you know what to say in English when you rent a car? What are the sentences and words that you’ll use? We’ll learn that in this lesson. By the end of it, you should be able to confidently speak in English when you rent a car.
In this lesson you will learn phrases that you can use when you need to rent a car.

Vocabulary

Garage : A garage is a what is specifically built for parking cars and other vehicles. Your house may have a garage for your personal car, and the airport would have a much larger one for all the rental cars.
Hiring : Hiring a car means renting a car. When you rent a car, you pay to use it for a temporary period and you will have to return it after that.
Commuting : Traveling from one place to another repeatedly is commuting. If you’re staying in a hotel and going back and forth to an office, you’re commuting from the hotel to the office and back.
Reservation : When you make a reservation something’s set aside for you. It means nobody else will be able to use it. A rental car can be reserved so that if you want the red BMW, no one else can take it first.
