Having your own car is very convenient as you won't waste the precious little time you have to travel between the hotel and training. Scheduling the hotel van and waiting can be very time consuming.
Chances are, there will be many people in your class who do have their own cars that you can ride with and get to/from the grocery store and class.
You have a lot to prepare for as class is very fast paced, so using those extra two days studying can be very useful.
I hope this helps. Good luck and welcome aboard.
Lol. You don't need those extra 2 days. Training has changed a lot. It's gotten easier and they kind of help you more now than they used to. They had some training issues with guys not showing up prepared and needing remedials. So they changed the training up to make it a bit "easier" so to say. Before you start class, you'll get a schedule with your partner. Find him on Facebook or linked in and ask if he's local with a car. If not. Drive yours. He will most likely help you with gas and whatnot when you're there. Unless you have a big diesel truck, I wouldn't rent a car. Take the 2 day road trip and jam to music and enjoy the scenery. It'll get intense the next 6 weeks.
