Tips For Car Donations

While car donation may not be the most economical way to give to charity, it is still a good way to give to a worthy cause. If you are looking to donate a used vehicle, it is best to get an appraisal first. This will help you figure out how much your car is worth and the charity will receive the full value of your car. An appraisal can help you determine the value of your car. In some cases, it may also be beneficial to get an independent appraisal.


If you are giving a used car to a nonprofit organization, you will be able to receive a tax deduction for your contribution. If you're unsure of where to donate your car, check out Charity Cars


If you want to donate your car, you should make sure to transfer the title to the organization. Some organizations may require you to leave a blank assignment of ownership line on your title. While this can make the process easier, making sure to transfer the title is essential. Not transferring the title may put you at risk for liability for parking tickets and accidents. Don't forget to save copies of the title as well. 


Before you donate your car, you should make sure to check the IRS's website to make sure the charity is legitimate. Whether your car is old or new, it is still worth donating. In some cases, you can receive a tax deduction for donating your car. A nonprofit organization can even give you a tax deduction on your car. The more valuable the donation, the better.
