There are also urban dwellers who can drive, hold a license, but don't own a car due to cost or space issues.

Undoubtedly more common in Europe - lots of Londoners don't own cars because there's nowhere cheap to park at either end of a trip, the traffic is bad, and the public transport is usable.

In my experience those people never use that phrase, they say “I don’t have a car”.
