Do you need a car while working abroad? It depends.
Things to consider:
- How far away from your work place do you live?
- Is is the distance between work and home walkable or is there even public transportation?
- Do you prefer driving a car over using public transportation?
If you eventually decide that you want to use a car, go through the following questions:
- Is youe company offering you a company car or can you negotiate one?
- Is there an option to share a car/carpool with e.g. co-workers or neighbors?
- Is it worth buying a car and selling it after your stay?
- Do you want full flexibility and just rent or lease a car?
