Transferring Titles During Car Donations
To simplify the title transfer process for a car donation, imagine that you're the seller and the charity of your choice is the buyer. Treat it like a regular car sale between two individual parties, minus, of course, payment.To properly donate a car you must sign over the car title by:
- Completing the title's odometer section.
- Adding the name of the charity (the buyer). Be sure to write the charity's exact name and not the name of an individual working for the charity.
- Signing and datin the title.
If you decide not to transfer, destroy the plates. If you receive a registration renewal notice for the vehicle you donated, don't panic. You do not have to respond. Ignore the notice and throw away.
Finding Vehicle Donation Charities
If you can't decide on a charity, go online and search under "Illinois Car Donations." Or, check with your local Better Business Bureau.When deciding on a charity, consider the following:
- What kinds of used cars will the charity accept?
- How will the money generated by your car donation be used by the charity?
- Will your donation translate into a tax deduction?
- Does the charity offer free pick-up service as part of its donate car process?
