Before Donating Your Vehicle


#1 Find the Title to the vehicle you are donating

  • A Title is a non-negotiable for most states – reference your state’s DMV site

DMV aka Registry of Motor Vehicles, Secretary of State, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Department of Revenue, Department of Transportation

  • Each state has their own DMV
  • Each state has their own DMV regulations 

#2 Make sure there are no liens or loans against the vehicle’s Title (before donating)

  • A lien would be something a bank or insurance company would have against the vehicle.
  • A bank would have a lien if you took out a loan on the vehicle.
  • An insurance company would have a lien if there were open claims on the vehicle.
  • If you have a lien on the vehicle, get a lien release letter before hand

#3 Consider your vehicle’s condition – at least two inflated tires are needed

  • Tires are needed to tow a vehicle. Do not strip your car!
  • I repeat, do not strip the car.

#4 Get the vehicle in a location that is tow accessible 

  • No, a tower cannot retrieve a vehicle from the center of forest!

#5 Know the hours of operation for your local DMV
