Best Cars for College Grads
When leaving college and off on your own for the first time, you’re likely stressing about finding a first apartment, first job, and making that first student loan payment. One first that doesn’t have to cause added stress is your first car out of school. You can find an affordable used vehicle that won’t eat up your budget at a Hertz Car Sales location near you.
What Transportation Options Are Available?
While many cities feature public transportation systems, and plenty of alternatives like ride-sharing apps, cabs and even car-sharing programs, you may not be living in one of those cities.
