When it's time to find a new car, it is often time to do something with your old car. Auto donations are becoming an increasingly popular way to give to charity while getting rid of an old car you do not use any more. Many non-profit groups, including children's charities and medical societies, are now accepting used car donations.
Why give?
Some people wonder why auto donations are better than selling or trading in their car. In some cases, older makes and models of cars simply do not have enough demand to make them worth selling. Other times, a car's condition can prevent it from being easy to sell or trade in. Many charities will accept auto donations no matter what the car's condition is. Charities often accept cars which are in non-running condition, and a number of charities will provide towing services if needed. You may not wish to sell or trade in your vehicle due to problems with the car's title. Again, it is easy to find a charity which will accept pledges for cars with title problems.
What's in it for me?
In addition to the personal satisfaction of helping a charity, there can be more tangible benefits to donating your car to charity. When April 15th comes around, car donations are tax deductible. Some charities also offer additional incentives for auto donations, including free vacations or vacation and cruise vouchers.
Donating to a non-profit group can be a great way to get rid of a car that you might otherwise be stuck with. In some cases, the tax deduction will be significantly higher than what you could get by selling or trading in your car. Before you sell your car for less than what you want, consider the benefits of donating it to charity.
