Speed through any type of car line!

Zip through the DMV

Aim for the middle of the week and the middle of the month, when there are the least number of customers, suggests time management expert Janet Bernstein. The worst times to visit the DMV? Mondays and the day after a holiday when the office has been closed.

Get fast car-rental service

The most efficient way in and out is not to wait in line at all. Most companies (like Hertz, National and Enterprise) offer apps that allow you to input your information in advance so you just have to show up and grab your keys!

Save time on auto repairs

Go early in the month for the speediest repairs, says Bernstein. “Service centers fill up toward the end of the month with people who waited to get their car inspected.” Schedule your maintenance for the beginning of the month at the first time slot available.
