How To Donate Your Car To Charity [PART 1]

Donating your car with Charity Car is easy. You don't have to pay a penny! And with branches across the UK and car collection available, there's no hassle when you donate your car!

Whether you have a scrap or used car to get rid of, we can help. If your car is ready to scrap, it will be responsibly recycled and your chosen charity will receive 100% of the car's scrap value. And, if there's enough life left in your old car, we'll raise the maximum donation value by auctioning it.

Do something really special and join the thousands of people who have already donated their car to charity. To give your car, start by choosing a charity that's close to your heart from any of the categories below:

Research the organisation
Before you decide to donate the car, make sure that you have your facts right.

If you do not want the car donation to go to a waste, ensure that the organisation to which you are donating the car to has credibility.

So, get yourself prepared for some first hand information collection about the charitable organisations that you can consider for a car donation.

Remember that your car donation is not only just giving up the car. It is something more. The implications of donating the car can have far fetched results. It is therefore an important decision and should be taken carefully. And there is reason enough to get scared because one might not know to which purpose the car is put to use.

Car donation scams are not new and there have been instances when the car owner does not take heed of what happens to the donated car after the process is over. Since prevention is better than cure, it is important that the car donation be made to a proper and licensed charitable organisation.

How are you going to find out about car donation organisations?

There are quite a number of ways to find out about car donation organisations that are not up to the mark. Check for the following to make your car donation meaningful.

Find out whether the charitable organisation is legitimate or not - it is important to find out about the legitimacy of the organisation. Only the ones that have credibility will be able to make right use of the car that you donate. It is better to donate the ones that are registered charities.
Find out about the organisation's work - just carry out some quick market research and weigh their work. If the organisation has some goodwill in the market, then that would be easy to locate. If possible, try and talk to the many car donors to make sure that such donations actually work out and the organisation has been able to handle such car donations without any glitch. Do not just believe what the organizations are saying. All sweet talks often do not work out.
