Let’s Go for a Ride!

So you’d like to take the family for a drive in the country. A train might take you there, but it’s so much easier to see the sights by driving around in a car. Maybe it’s time to rent a car.

It’s always a good idea to check many car-rental companies to find the best price. You can search on the Internet or call the company’s 800 number.

What kind of car do you want? You’ll need to decide on a type: economy, midsize, or luxury. You can choose the car that fits your needs.

Be prepared to pay more for larger cars. You’ll also need to buy insurance, just in case a bear in the country decides that your compact car is lunch!

Hello. I’d like to rent a car for the weekend.

Do you have your driver’s license with you?

Yes, I do.

If you want an economy car, we have a nice compact outside.

Is it a four-door?

No, it isn’t. It’s a two-door, but it has a hatchback. And it has a sunroof!

Do you have anything bigger and faster?

Well, we have a midsized convertible, but the compact is more economical.

How about a big van? I have a large family.

Sure, we have a van. It’s very roomy. It’s the biggest and most expensive of the three.

Well, I’d like the convertible for myself, but I guess I’ll take the van. Maybe next time…
