Welcome to speed learning English your podcast for a smarter and more professional English hi Richard how are you today has been fine and you everything is great. I'm always fine when I'm talking to you because I can always learn something new, not only in English but also about life and business. Asking today let's talk about car rentals in the last episode last week we spoke about conversation and dialogue in the airport now that we have arrived at the airport at our destination. We would like to pick up our our car so we had to the car rental. What do we need before we go there. So in our assumption we have traveled to another country and finds nation a foreign country so freshly before you start start your vacation or your business should be sent to them have alliances for that country motor so in Germany this Thursday. They have agreement with different countries where you can go to come pick up your generalized driver's license for different countries thing at 4200 with minimal trouble", so, and that allows you to drive in this country, so you should already have the documentations in order your documents in order for for order to drive in the country and that if you want to rent the car should often times there and rental car services at the airport already there. Quite expensive than the others out of town all of the airport and then you go there. We should have their currency if you're not in the user car currency in them up good to go to Rentacar well most car-rental stations. According car-rental stations, so I would say pickup locations. I guess I'm something that they normally are for your credit card so if you don't have a credit card, you can hardly Rentacar and also you need to depose it. Mostly, which is also put on your credit card so if your for example, if you don't have a credit card because you are not you are a cash man or you're not I don't know things happen that you don't have a credit card, then it might become difficult to Rentacar. Even if you've got somebody else's credit card and this person is not there, it might become difficult to have a contract with the company even if you booked in advance online. For example, let's assume, as soon as you can see my age last time I was in the process of renting a car and were able to see the process of renting a car where they used hot currency time. Also having very old Ridge real variable. Nowadays they indeed there was only a mostly use credit cards as so if you have a lot of money and you don't use credit cards you have to buy a car. That's the other option them or just some come back to public transportation, the total annual area. You can have a taxidriver for four weeks and I can see how Yancey uses platforms as the lift for their several car-rental platforms that you can use to rent or to Randall hi Erica, that's right. Okay, now let's imagine we got the cup that we have to we have to make sure that everything is okay with the car if the car is fully insured, we can more or less just take the car as it comes. But of course we have to make sure that all the security devices work so that we have. For example, in some countries you need those emergency requests that you have in the car to of been in Austria for example, while people want to speak English and are traveling to Austria about other countries you might need today's emergency triangle and your first aid kit, but also you should make sure that there are no damages of the car because if you return the kind you're not completely or fully insured, then you have to pay for damage that you might not have course by yourself to not when you take the car you have to make sure that it's either fueled completely or that you know how much fuel you have to put in before you return it, or you also have another I don't care about anything package where you can just return the cultivators and imparts okay and then driving on the left side and some countries might be a very interesting challenge question. Have you ever driven a car on the left side have to be honest. No I don't I don't feel as comfortable driving on the left side a strain on the right side so I kind of avoided because I can put myself in certain situations we have to take a decision on this second and where can tell myself of that. I know myself well enough to say I could not make that decision in a split second. So just stick to what you know and learn that started in the right hand side okay no I have to do to shorten the uncertain environment. It takes about one day to get used to it. From my experience, but I mean within this, they were extremely tense. Just because your brain just has to switch. And as you say you are not reacting. Let's say Ralph and Erin every reflex you are. You have to think about your activity or action so and so this will smooth normally when you're driving. Everything is more or less something you know automated know the term AdSense weight when you start to think about something that you normally do without thinking about it, you kind of hesitate to do it right together. Like you feel like driving the first week after having your driving license. Now imagine your invitation you're putting yourself in the stressful situation so we come back to renting a taxidriver for four weeks as I think I recommend to take an automatic car menus will have this gear drive still in a lot of countries, but automatic drive makes it much easier because you just have to focus on the steering wheel because the indicator and German blinker and light etc. there at the same side you've got the windscreen wiper on one side and the indicator on the other side and also light, etc., and also using automatic costs are much easier and I'm not sure how much happiness will appear. If you have a electric car like a Tesla. For example, not sure how the infrastructure in England in the UK or in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. while in Africa, is if you have a car like this. So let's imagine you. You take your own car, which is a car with the steering wheel on the left and you're driving that say to to the UK, then it might be difficult if you have got a Tesla are not aware of that to your translation about this in the infrastructure so as always did the northern countries, Sweden and Norway are the best, considering the infrastructure of the drive charging stations for electric cars, electric vehicles, so I think I'm not Germany's third or fourth place, but the UK is not far far behind that because they had their law that was making it easier to buy electric vehicles for consumers solely on the other hand, the state and obviously kind of build up the infrastructure for the charging stations but is not as well, as they say, Sweden or Norway but it's it's it's it's it's quite good and you also have to see to think about the EDD rate range angst or the fear that is the range is not sufficient that you have not sufficiently attached. Your electric vehicle is not Happens often with the drama but if you going to the evidence drivers do not tend to drive that long distances. So what is the last time you drove I don't know hundred kilometers will function want with an electrical now with Monica my normal, as yesterday while can you are not well as I have admired my cause my office and I enjoy. I enjoy my spare time I take my car for the good. Very nice car with all the comfort that I like the little space for my activities. So I enjoy driving somewhere and spending time in a nice place and you will recording this unlocked tone time look down times, but it's all your authority on time and left. I'm not imprisoned and the first is still the safest place to be. So Yeah okay but normally if I'm on on a vacation and I need a car there. I have to be flexible. I want to to drive around and also if I have business meetings. For example, it's not that uncommon to have 100 km or so AS soon as okay so once we have arrived where we want to be. Then we have to ask for several directions. Maybe ask restaurants, supermarkets, bookstores, pharmacies, etc. museums or brass. So let's talk about this next time comes for today I want to thank you for chatting with us for having this conversation with me, and yet talk next week.
