Are you one of the thousands of people that want to donate a car? If you are like the majority, you may have a few questions that you want answered. Although car donations provide funding to thousands of charities nationwide, many consumers want to do a bit of research before making a donation that at a minimum would provide over $200 to a charity. Lately, we have been getting a few questions and I figured, to make the donations process that much easier, I would give the answers to everyone. So, without further ado, here are the answers that you may be looking for!
Question 1: Where can I donate a car?
Answer 1: This is one of the most common car for donation questions that we receive here at Cars Helping Charities. Although, most people think that you have to tow your car or drive it to the nearest donations facility, this is a misconception. As a matter of fact, you can donate your car sitting on your couch at home or at your desk at work! Cars Helping Charities has nationwide contracts with elite towing companies. Therefore, if you have a car for donation, simply let us know where to pick it up and, running or not, we will come to get it!
Question 2: How do I donate a car?
Answer 2: Another very common question, however, we have made the answer very simple! If you have a car that you would like to donate, all you will need to do is look to the right. On every page, we have included our simple donations form! This form is designed to walk you through the entire process of donating a car within 5 minutes! We also understand that donating a car is a very personal experience to many people. Therefore, at the top right corner of our website on each page, you will find our toll free, customer service phone number! If you would rather speak to a representative to choose your charity and donate your car, give us a call 24-7, we are here for you!
Question 3: Does donating a car have any tax benefits?
Answer 3: Absolutely! Anyone who decides to donate a car is given a tax deduction receipt. The tax rule is like this:
- Consumers who donate a car that generates proceeds below $500 for charity, they will be given a tax deduction of $500.
- Consumers who donate a car that generates proceeds in excess of $500 will be given a tax receipt in the amount equal to the proceeds generated by the car donation!
