Donating is an excellent way to get rid of a car without incurring towing, selling, or repair expenses.
Make sure the charity you donate to will pick up your car free of charge, and that you’ll get tax benefits and any other incentives the charity is offering. Of course, there’s always the satisfaction one feels when you know your donation is going to a good cause.
Fixing your car
Sometimes, an old or damaged car is worth fixing.
You’ll want to consult a mechanic to see what the problem is and how much it will cost for repairs to make your car roadworthy again.
But sometimes, a car is either beyond repair or just too expensive to repair.
That’s where Kars4Kids comes in.
When should you donate your car?
Here are some common issues that might lead you to say “bye” to your car:
- Vehicle is now junk (scrap metal)
- Car broke down
- Old car
- Car was in an accident
- Flooded car (water damage)
- Car ruined in hurricane
Different times of the year bring in different reasons for donation
Holiday Season
You can get rid of that old car cluttering up your driveway to make room for your holiday guests to park – in fact, we get more donations in December than in any other month!
Springtime
Part of your annual spring cleaning.
Before the New Year
The deadline for filing taxes is December 31st. But you’ll need a receipt to claim your deduction. So just let us know when your car’s been picked up, and we’ll send the receipt right out to you.
So . . . when is it the right time to donate your car to charity?
Every car we receive is assessed by our team, to determine how to get the most value from each donation while ensuring the largest possible tax benefit for you, the donor, no matter the season or the condition of your vehicle.
