What happens if you delay
⚠ Escalating Parking Tickets
Each day your vehicle remains in its current location increases the risk of more parking tickets. Delay in action can lead to significantly higher financial penalties.
⚠ Impound Fees
If your vehicle is towed, daily storage fees can quickly escalate to $100 or more, adding a financial burden on top of existing fines and complicating the donation process.
⚠ Complex Donation Process
Waiting too long to donate can result in your vehicle entering a municipal auction process, making it much harder to complete a donation and affecting your eligibility for tax deductions.
⚠ DMV Release-of-Liability Delays
Inaction may require resolving existing tickets before filing for a DMV release-of-liability. This process can delay the donation and put your vehicle at further risk of penalties.
