2002 Hyundai Elantra

I just moved from Florida to Ohio. I have been really good about starting my car every day, until the other day. It would not start, just click one time. All the dash lights come on. I had the battery checked and it was low. I had the battery charged and the car still would not start. Also.... If it is the starter, how can I get my car started so I can take it to a service place?

One click usually means starter. If you can get close to the starter, to may tap the starter body as to "move" the bendix a little, it may help. If not, you have to tow it. You didn't say it, but if it is a manual transmission , you can push start.
