Are you thinking of owning your own vehicle for your travel nursing assignments? Consider the following three factors.

<div>
  Getting ready for a travel nursing assignment requires a lot of preparation in
  completing all necessary paperwork, securing housing accommodations and
  packing everything you&rsquo;ll need. However, many travel nurses (even
  veteran ones) often forget the importance of having a safe, reliable vehicle
  on a travel assignment. Are you thinking of owning your own vehicle for your
  travel nursing assignments? Consider the following three factors.
</div>

<h2>Cost</h2>

<div>
  Many travel nurses do not end up living within walking distances of their
  travel assignments and often need to rent a car for the duration of their
  stay. Car rentals can be expensive, especially if you take several travel
  assignments per year, which is why it may be more cost-effective to own your
  own vehicle. However, there are many things to consider regarding costs of
  vehicle ownership, including car insurance and ongoing maintenance.

<h2>Easy Shopping &amp; Transportation of Items</h2>

<div>
  As you think about transportation, it&rsquo;s important to remember that your
  travel nursing assignment is not a vacation. As a temporary resident in a new
  city, you&rsquo;ll have to run all your day-to-day errands yourself - such as
  grocery shopping, picking up dry-cleaning, or dropping a pet off at the
  veterinarian&rsquo;s office. Having your own vehicle makes your daily routine
  much more manageable. Rather than lugging items (or pet!) on a bus or train,
  you&rsquo;ll be able to get your errands done more efficiently and with less
  stress.
</div>

<h2>Convenience</h2>

<div>
  While many travel nurses have assignments in cities with readily available
  public transportation, you may not enjoy always relying on trains and buses to
  get around. Travel nurses who enjoy exploring the cities they are visiting
  often want the flexibility to commute to places at their leisure. Having your
  own reliable vehicle can give you security in knowing you always have your own
  transportation throughout your travel assignment. Many travel nurses enjoy
  having their own vehicles so they have the freedom to explore cities on their
  own terms.

<div>
  These are just some of the many reasons why having your own vehicle can be
  very beneficial during a travel assignment.

<div>
  While vehicle ownership comes with some ongoing expenses, you&rsquo;ll likely
  find that the freedom and flexibility it affords is well worth the investment.
