Donating your vehicle can make a significant impact on the causes you care about. It provides you with a hassle-free way to get rid of an unwanted vehicle while supporting charitable organizations. Additionally, you may qualify for a tax deduction based on the value of your donation.
Nonprofit programs and services that make a difference in communities globally greatly benefit from the sale of donated vehicles in the used-car markets. VEHICLES4FREEDOM collaborates with an extensive network of nationwide and independent suppliers to sell these vehicles, aiming to maximize the donation proceeds. This involves regularly assessing vendor pricing and performance to enhance the process and ensure optimum returns for our nonprofit partners and maximize the tax benefits for their donors. If the donated items are unique or specialized, alternative methods may be employed to ensure the highest possible funds are obtained for each donation.
You will need an up-to-date and accurate vehicle title. If you have a lien holder, the title must list them and be released by the bank. This requirement depends on which state you live in.
No! If you’re a vehicle donor, you don’t have to pay for towing. Towing expenses are covered once the sale is complete. Any additional costs will be covered by VEHICLES4FREEDOM.
A representative from VEHICLES4FREEDOM will contact you via phone, email, or text with the information you provided. Also, if you receive a call from a number you don’t recognize, be sure to answer it. This could be the vendor trying to contact you.
Make sure you have the keys and title ready to give the tow truck driver at the time of the pick-up, and remove all personal items from your vehicle. During the pick-up, you’ll need to sign the title and the driver will most likely provide you with a receipt. If you don’t get a receipt, call us at (301) 799-8900 we’ll obtain it for you.
After the tow truck driver picks up your vehicle, you’ll need to notify your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles that you’re no longer in possession of the vehicle. You may also have to cancel your vehicle registration, turn in your license plates, and submit a record of sale. The requirements vary from state to state. If you need help with this process, call us at (301) 799-8900.
Once you notify your state that you’ve completed your donation, you’ll be released from liability of your vehicle. This includes having to keep the vehicle insured or paying registration fees. Additionally, state notification allows your state to create a record that you no longer possess the vehicle.
You should only cancel your insurance after your vehicle has been picked up. In states that require a notification of your donation, you should always wait until after you’ve notified your local Department of Motor Vehicles.
The title transfer process varies by state. If you’d like to know more about this process, a representative at VEHICLES4FREEDOM would be glad to assist you. Call us at (301) 799-8900.
