Car donation is truly a noble deed and it becomes very important for any one to keep certain things in mind before going ahead and doing it. There are so many charities and so many organizations dedicated to car donations that you should be rest assured you do not end up in any scam or fraudulent organization. When you request details from a charitable organization, being the first step see their responsiveness and their willingness to clear your doubts. If they do not give you clear details it is always better to check somewhere else. Before you call in for your donation you will need to locate the title to the car and ensure that your name has been removed otherwise after the car has been sold and the new owner ends up in a traffic rules violation, it should not be your name coming up.

First, get the forms from the concerned charity and after filling them up keep them handy for the person who comes to tow your vehicle. There are certain exceptions in the tax law especially with regards to the fair market value of the car i.e. you can base on deduction on the fair market value if the charity sells it to someone in drastic need at a discounted price or if the charity uses the car for its own use. In case your car is in running condition you can drop it at the charity organization that would save them towing costs. Be sure to keep these things in mind while making your car donation.
