What to Do If You Have a Driver's License but No Car?

If you have a driver's license but no car, you can choose to rent a car for practice. Below is relevant information about the driver's license: 1. License Issuance Period: If a motor vehicle driver has no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, the license will be renewed with a ten-year validity period. If the driver continues to have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, the license will be renewed with a long-term validity. 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Before each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances may allow for an appointment through the driving test green channel), and the test will be conducted after the appointment.

I have a driver's license but don't own a car at the moment, which is actually quite common. I opt for car rental services like Shenzhou Car Rental or Didi Chuxing, booking a car in advance for weekend getaways. It's affordable and allows flexible travel plans. For daily commutes, I use buses or subways, saving money for a future RV fund. When hanging out with friends, I occasionally borrow their cars but always prioritize safety and return them with a full tank. Not owning a car saves me parking fees and maintenance hassles. I regularly practice on driving simulators to keep my skills sharp, making it easier to buy a car if I decide to someday. Sharing car apps for short-term rentals are perfect for short trips and help reduce carbon emissions, which is a plus.

With a driver's license but no car, I rely on car rentals as my main transportation. Using mobile apps like eHi Car Rental, I can book a car anytime for business trips or road trips. The advantage of not owning a car is real savings: insurance, fuel, and maintenance are all free. For commuting, I use ride-hailing apps to avoid crowded buses and get work done. Occasionally, I carpool with friends to share costs and chat for fun. I'm considering buying a car in the future but first want to test drive different models to gain experience. I park my bike for free in public parking and walk to maintain my exercise routine.

I'm a student with a driver's license but no car, so I rely on the sharing economy. Shared cars like GoFun cost just a few yuan for half an hour, making weekend outings convenient. For daily classes, I take the school bus or ride a bike, which saves money and is eco-friendly. When with classmates, I carpool or hitch a ride, which is great for socializing. I have car rental apps on my phone for emergencies, allowing me to book instantly. Before my license expires, I practice on simulators to stay sharp. Without the pressure of owning a car, I save my allowance for hobbies, which makes me happier.
