If you want to get rid of an old car, you can do one of these four things. You can trade it in for a new car, sell it yourself, take it to a junk yard, or give it to a good cause.
Even though all of these options have benefits, the only one that doesn't is donating your car. When you sell or trade in a car, you will spend a lot of time for not much money. Imagine going to trade in your car and being offered a few hundred dollars for it. Sounds like a pretty bad deal, doesn't it?
But if you give your car to a good cause, like a non-profit, you'll get some benefits and the car will also be put to good use. These groups use old cars to give them to people who need them or just to make deliveries. They will take the car off your hands for free, and you can write it off on your taxes. It works out well for both of them.
You won't have to do much work at all to find an organisation that will take your car. Many people don't choose this option because they think it will take too much time and work.
Going online is a good place to start your search. You should be able to find groups from one end of the world to the other that will take your car in no time. From there, all you have to do is pick places that are close to where you live.
If you can't find what you need online, go to the phone book. The great thing about this is that you will be able to find a donation centre near you, so you know they will be interested.
Once you know who you want to give your car to, the next step is to get in touch with them and set up the process. They will tell you what they need from you and give you a date and time for when they will get the car. Most of the time, all you have to do is fill out a few forms. When they've taken care of all the little things, they'll tow your car away and you'll be good to go.
There are many benefits to giving away your car. If this sounds interesting to you, just look it up online and start right away.
