Even though the regulations of car donation have been tightened and after adopting tougher guidelines, the number of people going for car donations is on rise. Here are few guidelines for all those who are want to go for this kind of donation:

Go to the Charity which Accepts Car Donations: You need not advertise, I want to donate my car to charity, when you want to do so. You can just go to few charities which can accept such kind of car donations. Remember, all the charities or trusts will not be ready to accept them. Only those which are authorized to receive can accept them. Special permissions are required from government to accept such donations.

Drive your Car to the Designated Spot: When you are donating your car, you shouldn’t ask the charity authorities to come and collect the car. It doesn’t prove to be good manners. If you have time, you should go out and drive your car to the designated drop off place. This will show your respect towards the cause and charity. There are many charities who advertise ‘donate a vehicle to charity’ slogan and hence finding the right charity should not be a problem for you.
