Neither. You would say "I don't have a car." or "I don't have any cars."

Singular. I have no car. You can re-create the sentence with more parts of speech and the sentence will make more sense.
Brandon asked me to drive him to the station however, I told him that "I have no car".(I do not have....)

Singular: I have no car today.
Plural: Today I have no cars to lend you.

both are correct, it just depends on if you have more than one car or not. if you're only referring to one car... then "i have no car" would suffice. if you're referring to a number of cars "i have no cars" would be perfectly fine.
but ideally, the correct answers would be.
I don't have a car.
and
I don't have any cars.

It depends on the context. If you were an automobile dealer, and all you had on the lot were trucks, you could say "I have no cars."
But if you mean you aren't in possession of one car, "I have no car" would be correct.

so a options as i comprehend, the be conscious "thar" isn't an English be conscious contained in the first position. =/ you'll say in SLANG (nevertheless no longer perfect English) "Them horses are mine". a extra efficient way this is no longer slang English will be "those horses are mine" or "those horses over there are mine".

You can say, "I cannot go to the store because I have no car."
Depends on the context of the rest of your sentence.

Either is fine, it depends on how many cars you don't have. If you're only lacking in one car, though, you have no car. "I have no car" would be correct.

both are correct
if you are saying this as a a concept (e.g., I have no car so I must walk), then this is OK.
However, if you are talking reality, "I have no cars in my lot and that is why the lot has no tire marks," this is correct.

It really doesn't matter in this case. If you don't have any, then you don't have any. Plural or otherwise. For instance, I have no jobs. I have no job. Either way you cut it, you are without employment.

I do not have a car or I do not have any cars.
