Indeed. BFOQ (bona fide occupational qualification) |

Only if driving your car was part of the job description (e.g.: delivery). Otherwise if it was their vehicle they could insist on a license.
But if a car has nothing to do with the job description, then no. That said, employers may use it as a test of sorts, even if it's illegal, because to own a car you usually have to be insurance-worthy, possibly credit-worthy, usually have a license, etc. But no, I don't see how owning a car could possibly be a requirement if the job description doesn't require driving a car.
Even so, if you make a big deal out of it, they might find another reason not to hire you. You probably don't want to work for them anyway if they're like that.
But short answer is no - for most jobs, it should not be a requirement. |

It depends on the employment laws in your area. In some jobs you are required to use your own car/van/or/truck for the company that you are working for; such as a delivery person. For such jobs the company does need to know that you are the owner of said car/van/or/truck. |

Yes, if performing the job requires a car.
Many companies have eliminated company cars and now give car allowances instead. |

That is a good question...I wanna know the answer to this cause I have been on interviews here in Georgia where I had to lie and say I had a car just to get the job. |

If you have to drive as part of the job and there is no company vehicle, they can require you to have a car that you can prove you have insurance on.
If it's just to make sure you can get back and forth to work, that is none of their business. |
