During the ground training portion, everyone has the same schedule, so not having a car then is not as big of a deal, but when you get to sims, you really need a car, though there are guys that made it through without having a car. That way you don't have to worry relying on someone else to take you to and from Flight Safety. If you get the 2200-0200 sim session, good luck finding someone to take you around at that time of the day. We used to take a van downtown so that we wouldn't have to leave our car there. Go with a group and it is cheap. You will really appreciate having your car while you are there for 2 months. You will get so sick of being at the Homestead, at least have the freedom of having your own car. But by all means, I wouldn't rent one if you don't have one. You don't get paid enough to do that, unless you have saved up some extra cash.
