Vehicle
From SWG Wiki
Vehicles are incredibly beneficial to players as they are faster than mounts and are a great way of getting around. Currently there are more than 40 different player-controlled vehicle types known to exist in the game, but not every vehicle type is accessible to every player. While many of the vehicles can be crafted by engineers, others are available only through quests or as special rewards. Many vehicles offer a form of mounted protection that grants the player a bonus to ranged weapon avoidance while riding.
For all of their benefits, vehicle ownership can sometimes be a burden, especially if you own one of the game's rare vehicles. Vehicles can become damaged when combat is initiated on them. While both PCs and NPCs can cause vehicle damage, NPCs will usually only damage a vehicle if their attacks are grenade-based. In addition, creatures have also been known to cause damage to vehicles. Once a vehicle has become damaged (without being disabled), it can be repaired at any Parking Garage for a nominal fee. To repair a vehicle, select it and access the radial menu; a repair option will appear.
The amount of damage each vehicle can take is different for each type, but universally, when a vehicle reaches zero condition, it becomes disabled. A vehicle that has been disabled cannot be used again until it is repaired with a Vehicle Restoration Kit, or restored at a garage for specific vehicles. Restoration kits are often difficult to find and are usually quite expensive; they are mostly reserved for the repair of valuable or rare vehicles.
Some vehicles have the ability to hold multiple people. If a person is in the same group as the driver of a multi-person vehicle, they can enter the vehicle by selecting it, accessing the radial menu, and choosing the 'Enter/Exit Vehicle' command.
