1. First, it is beneficial if you gather a couple pieces of information regarding the car before contacting a charity. At the minimum, you will need: to know the Year, Make and Model of the car; have the Title (in your name, with no liens or money owed); know whether the car is in driveable condition; and have a Phone Number and Email Address for contact purposes. It is helpful if you also are able to provide: the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN #); the Title State and Number; and any Condition Problems (flat tires, engine problems, transmission problems, body damage, etc.). You'll want to keep all this information in one place to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
2. Now you are able to contact a charity in your area. An easy way to find the contact information for your charity is to run a Google search. When you click on their website, look for their car donation contact information because not all accept car donations. If you are having trouble finding a charity with a car donation program in your area, try broadening your search for a charity that you know accepts car donations (even if it is not in your area), as they most likely will be able to point you in the right direction.
3. When you call a charity to donate you car, you will be asked to provide the information from Step 1, as well as: Your name; address; whether you are located at a house, condo, apartment or shop; where the car is parked (whether a street, driveway or other location); if the car is accessible by a flat bed tow truck; the closest cross street or highway; the color of the car; whether the car is a 2-door or 4-door vehicle; and finally, where you heard about the charity.
4. The next step of the process is to set up towing for your car. The charity will usually set this up with you while you're on the phone giving them the details about your car. Towing of your vehicle is free for you and should happen anywhere between 24 to 72 hours after talking with the charity on the phone, unless otherwise specified.
5. In the last step of the process, the charity will then send out a tow truck, on the day designated with you, to pick up your vehicle. You will receive two receipts for donating your car. The first you will receive when your car is picked up by the tow truck. This receipt is to be used as proof to cancel your tags or car insurance for that vehicle. The second receipt you will receive in the mail within 30 days and it is for tax purposes.
A couple of things to note about these procedures: You have the option to be, or not be, in attendance when your car is picked up by the tow truck. However, if you decide not to be there when your car is picked up, you need to specify so to the charity, as well as leave your keys and the title in the car. Also, make sure to remember to take your license plates off the car before it is picked up by the tow truck.
That's it - You're done! You now know the the exact step-by-step process to donate a car.
