Motor Vehicle Donations

Motor vehicle donations are on the rise as people realize the many wonderful benefits they provide to givers and recipients alike. Surprisingly, many people are still unaware of this wonderful opportunity to give and still others are confused about what kind of vehicles make acceptable donations. If you've got an old or extra car or truck that you just don't want or can't afford to keep anymore, then maybe it's time to consider making a motor vehicle donation of your own.

Many people worry that their cars will be inadequate or ineligible for donation. Maybe you've let your old truck sit all winter, and now it won't start up. Or maybe you've had the same daily driver for a decade and the mileage has gotten pretty high. Whether you're looking to be rid of your now adult child's first car, your elderly parent's last car, or any other vehicle you don't have a real need for, there's a very good chance that a charity would be more than happy to take it off your hands.

Does your car need more maintenance than it's currently worth? Not a problem. Is your car not running? Not a problem. Is your car old, rusted, dented, or dirty? Charities take these cars too. While there is a real need for reliable transportation, charities that take motor vehicle donations don't discriminate against lemons or clunkers either. If your car has any value, then it can be of use to someone; whether it will help a single mother get her kids to school and herself to work, or whether it will be resold as a project for an eager teen or able mechanic will be determined on a case by case basis.

The single requirement that all charities have for motor vehicle donations is that they must be accompanied by a clear title. Obviously a charity can't take on old liens and a car that is undriveable (either by them or by a new owner) holds very little value. But as long as you've got your title in hand, then car charities will accept most any kind of motor vehicle. Ready for some more good news? You won't have to clean your car, tune your car, deliver your car, or pay the transfer fees. These charities have the skills and resources to handle it all. Many car-based charities operate on a national level, meaning that no matter where your motor vehicle donations are located or what shape they're in they've got the manpower and equipment to come and get them. Likewise many of these charities have cooperative partnerships with generous mechanics who give a discounted rate on necessary repairs. Your car could be on the road again with a grateful new owner in less than a month!

Clothes, food, and money are all wonderful, useful things to give to charities, but motor vehicle donations are the kind of thing that can single-handedly change a person's life. If you've got an unwanted car, truck, van, etc then contact your favorite charity today to find out how you can make your first motor vehicle donation.
