Donating cars to charities is something that has been done for well over a decade now, but it is still not as widely popular as it ideally should be.

By donating a car to charity, you are doing something genuinely kind, something that will make a positive difference to those in need. So long as a car is roadworthy, or just a little repair work away from being so, then it can be donated to charity. A car that is of little or no value to you can really make a big difference to the lives of those less fortunate than yourself.

Different charitable organizations do different things when you donate your car to charity, but there are three main options that will generally be available to the charity when a car is donated - all have substantial benefits.

Auctioning off the car and investing the profits into the development of their programs is one option. This is generally the preferred way of dealing with donated cars as charities always need more hard cash. Auction houses generally waive their fees for donated cars, and buyers are willing to pay a little extra, and so the final amount that goes to charity would be significantly more than they would get if you auctioned off the car yourself and just gave the money to a charity.

Other charities will use the cars donated to them for their members to perform charitable work, such as taking old or disabled members of the community out. Although the car may be old and not in pristine condition, as long as it runs and can get a person from point A to point B without any problems, it can provide a lifeline to someone who has a serious mobility issue.

The third option, which is generally only used if the car is beyond repair, is to pass it onto a car recycling scheme. This involves stripping a car of its valuable parts, and then selling them off, and selling the remaining shell of the car to a junkyard. A fair amount of money can be made from doing this, and you can be sure that, as it is a charitable organization involved, all the buyers will be as generous as possible.

When you donate car to charity, you can always ask the organization what they plan on doing with the vehicle. Most groups will be happy to tell you all the details of what they will do and how your donation will benefit others. If you do not care for their plans, you can always find a different organization to donate your car to.

So, should you happen to have a car that you feel you can do without, and you would like to make a real, positive difference to the lives of some people that are in need of a car, and would greatly appreciate it, then please put a little time and effort into donating your car to charity.
