Car Rental Conversation Practice

Renting a car can be a common but sometimes tricky conversation. In this video, we demonstrate a simple and practical car rental dialogue, where you can practice essential phrases that are useful in real-world situations.

Start by requesting a rental: “Hi, I’d like to rent a car for the weekend.” When you’re asked about the type of car, be prepared to specify your preferences. For example, “Something small, like a compact car” helps convey your needs clearly.

Next, you’ll discuss additional services like insurance. A typical question is, “Would you like insurance coverage with that?” The cost of insurance is often given separately, so you’ll need to confirm the details: “How much will that be?”

Don’t forget to have your documents ready for inspection. When asked for your driver’s license and credit card, you can simply respond with “Here you go.”

Finally, once all is set, you’ll receive your car details, like: “Your car is parked in lot 3.” This dialogue is a great way to practice common vocabulary and phrases you’ll need when renting a car abroad.
