[quote=Anonymous]We never charged our au pairs for any personal car usage, but we did ask them to discuss with us prior to taking the car. The expectations we set upfront is going to movies, the mall or the metro station is perfectly fine, but we would not say yes to long distance travels or to less desirable locations. My first au pair was actually very gracious about it and put in some gas ($5 or so) a week to share the cost, even though it was not asked.

And I must say, wow, a couple of people in this thread are so angry. These girls/boys are not mistreated by host families by any stretch of imagination. Host families are not obligated to provide a car for their personal use. You only see poor little "me"s getting $200/week you don't see the close to $10k annual program fee and many other financial resources host families provide to these au pairs to allow them the opportunity to live here for a year.  Why create an unnecessary conflict while most families just work it out between the host family and au pairs? Why even judge with such a nasty tone? Unbelievable.
