"No ~ means no ~"
「～が無ければ、～できない・もない」という意の言い回しです。日常会話で比較的よく用いる上、自分で話す際も便利な言葉なので是非とも覚えましょう。
この場合は車についてですので、前部分にcar後部分にgetting anywhereで
"No car means no getting anywhere."
→「車が無ければどこにも行けない。」
となります。「なにも～ない」「どこにも～ない」の場合は、everywhereではなくanywhereですので注意しましょう。

hard to get around - hardはdifficult（困難な）の同義語です。to get around somewhereとは、いろいろな場所を訪れることという意味です。
"someone gets around"と言うこともでき、これは全然会わなくなるほどよく旅行に行く人を表す、あるいは複数のセクシュアルパートナーを持つ人という否定的な意味合いで使われることがあります。

When you do not have a car of your own is very inconvenient, it means you always have to rely on other people or on public transport to get around.
Examples;
- I don't have a car. Sometimes it's a bit inconvenient because I have to take the bus and its always full.
In America, you can't function normally without a car.
In America, you need a car to get around.
In America, you are totally incapacitated, without a car.
If places a person has to get to are far between, he/she needs a car to get to those places, especially if there is no public transport going to those places. Such situations do exist in America. So, one would definitely need a car to get to the places that are far between and there is no public transport going to those places.
The verb to 'function' used in the first caution means to operate or work properly.
The phrasal verb 'to get around' used in the second caution means to travel to travel to various destinations without hindrance.
The phrase 'totally incapacitated' used in the third caution means to be absolutely hindered from operating as one would like to.
So, you may caution the other person as follows:
In America, you can't function normally without a car.
or
In America, you need a car to get around.
or
In America, you are totally incapacitated, without a car.
例：In America, you can't function normally without a car.
「アメリカでは、車なしでは何もできません。」
例：In America, you need a car to get around.
「アメリカでは、そのへんに出かけるのにも車がいる。」
例：In America, you are totally incapacitated, without a car.
「アメリカでは、車なしでは何もできません。」
電車などの公共交通機関が発達していない地域では、車がどうしても必要になってきます。
そういったところはアメリカでは沢山あり、どこへ行くにも遠いので、車は必須です。
"function"という動詞は「適切に行動する」という意味です。
また、慣用句"to get around"は支障なく「場所から場所へ行く」というような意味です。
"totally incapacitated"は「（何かするのに、）明らかに支障がある」です。
It is very inconvenient if you do not have a car in America.
It is very distressing if you do not have a car in America.
To not have a car in America will cause some disruptions for you.
When we say something is "inconvenient", we mean that it causes you unnecessary stress. You can replace the word "inconvenient with a number of other words, such as "distressing" or "disruptive/disruptions" etc depending on your level of stress. For example:
- If you are just mildly irritated by the fact that you do not have a car, you could just say "Having no car in America is very inconvenient" and then just go on with your day.
- If not having a car causes you some trouble and having have to find other sources of transport on a daily basis, you would say :"Not having a car is very distressing, I do not know how I will go on without one!"
Hope these answers help! Thank you for your question.
