Can you buy a car without a Licence in South Africa?
You can indeed buy a car without a valid driver’s license, as there is no law in SA that keeps you from doing so. As for car finance – no-one is going to finance nor insure you if you do not hold a valid driver’s license, so you had better pay in cold, hard cash.
Can I buy a car for someone else and put it in their name?
If you purchase a car for someone else, you have the option to have the loan in your name or to cosign with the individual you’re buying it for. The only way to buy the vehicle as a surprise is to put in the loan in your own name. The title may be registered under both names.
