Donating is an excellent way to get rid of a car without incurring towing/selling/fixing costs.
Often, the charity you chose to donate to will pick up your car free of charge, and you’ll get tax benefits and any other incentives the charity is offering as well as the satisfaction of knowing that your donation is going to a good cause.
Fixing your car
Sometimes, a damaged or old car can be worth fixing.
You’ll want to consult a mechanic to see what the problem is and how much it’ll cost to fix and make it roadworthy again.
But sometimes, it’s either beyond repair or just too expensive to repair.
And that’s where Kars4Kids comes in.
When should you donate your car?
- Your vehicle is junk (scrap metal)
- Car broke down
- Old cars
- Cars that were in accidents
- Flooded cars (water damage)
- Cars ruined in hurricanes
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 any other month!
Springtime
Part of your annual spring cleaning.
Before the new year
When it comes to filing taxes, you’ll want to contact us before January 1st in order to get your deduction for that year.
Even if your car hasn’t been picked up yet, you can claim your tax deduction as long as we have your donation in the system.
So…when is it the right time to donate your car to charity?
With each donation that we get, our team assesses the car to determine how to get the most value out of it, ensuring the biggest possible tax benefit for you.
No matter the season or the condition of your vehicle.
Kars4Kids takes cars in almost any state
