Managing Life's Battles

When you have a vehicle that you no longer need or use, you might wonder what to do with it. You may not want to list it for sale on social networking sites or in the newspaper. You may not have any idea of what kind of price to ask for it or know how to negotiate a fair sale.

Instead of leaving it to sit and rot in your driveway, you can donate it to an organization that can accept it readily from you. You can take advantage of what giving your car for charitable vehicle donations can offer.

Tax Deduction

Despite you giving your car for charitable vehicle donations, you still can benefit financially from this transaction. In fact, the organization that accepts it from you can give you a receipt for the car's estimated value that you can then use to claim on your taxes the next year. 

You can write off that amount on your taxes and lower your tax burden. The value of the car that you gave for charitable vehicle donations can zero out your tax balance or leave you with very little that you have to pay that year in taxes.

Free Towing

When you give your car for charitable vehicle donations, you also avoid having to figure out how to get it to the organization that is willing to take it from you. The organization will arrange for your car to be picked up and towed at its own expense rather than yours.

This courtesy saves you money that you may not want to spend on calling and hiring a towing company to remove your vehicle for you. You also avoid having to find a towing company that might be able to tow the car across state lines if the organization is not located in your local area.

No Repairs

Finally, the organization that you donate your car to may not require you to make any repairs to it. It may agree to buy the car from you in its current condition. You avoid having to pay out money for repairs for a car that you will not use and cannot get any return on the cash that you pay out for those repairs.

Charitable car donations can benefit you when you need to get rid of an unwanted car. You get a tax write-off, enjoy free towing, and avoid making repairs. If you want to donate vehicles to charity, contact local disability services.
