- 1). Research charitable organizations. Many organizations claim to donate vehicles to disadvantaged people but are actually scams. You can find many reputable charities online, for example, 800charitycars.org. Determining what organizations are legitimate and most suited for your donation will help get your vehicle to those in need.
- 2). Prepare your vehicle's title. Whether you are donating a car or selling it, you have to transfer the title. Your local DMV can provide you with the necessary information to transfer your title to the organization of your choice.
- 3). Determine the vehicle's value. The IRS requires that the donor provide the value of the vehicle. This can be done with the help of Kelley's Blue Book online. By entering your vehicle's information, they will determine the value of the vehicle according to industry standards.
- 4). Schedule a pick up. Most vehicle donation organizations offer towing service. Once you have chosen the organization to donate to, call them, and they will schedule a tow or tell you a place to drop off the vehicle.
