Buying or renting a car can be the most stressful time in a person’s life as the buyer is left in the dark on plenty of information while likely facing hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in risk. All on one transaction, one choice, one evening.

While international students often have to learn the harsh realities of differing cultures quickly and first-hand, this might be most noticeable in interactions with local car dealerships.
