It is rightly said that if
you are a resident of California and you have an element of altruism inside
you, Car donation in California is the best thing that you can do. California
is not better than Los Angeles in public transportation. You can see long queue
of elderly aged people, children waiting endlessly for a bus. The subways are
the best examples of traffic snarls, not allowing any public transport run
fast. The situation becomes chaotic in rush hours. In the morning and evening, the
commuting people want to reach their destination fast. But, the disgustingly congested
traffic adds insult to their injuries.
Car
donation California
is very propitious to help the hapless commuters combat this disgustingly
devious discomfort. If you have purchased a new car and hence the car that you
were droving hitherto, is no longer indispensable for your commutation, you can
certainly help one person, or rather I will say one family to feel better on
road of California.
You can opt for
Car donation California in so many ways. You may donate your car to the
man next to your door, whom you see quite often toiling hard to catch bus and
failing miserably to reach destination quite often, due to the heavy congestion
in the public transportation plying route. It will be quite heartening to see
your neighbor on the road with your car driving with ease and convenience, reaching
the destination on time, increasing his productivity and thereby contributing
towards his organization in particular and to the USA in general.
You can also
choose a charity to donate your car. You can either decide a charity that you
know for long time, the credibility of which is unquestionable. If there is no
any, you can ask for reference to your close friends, colleagues, long acquaintances,
etc. Most probably you will get a name of repute from any of these contacts. If
still your quest to find a suitable name based on your criteria is not
fulfilled, just Google it with suitable titles(keywords), such as car
donation California, car donation in California and the likes.
Onething that
I think is important to know about in Google page results is that you need not
get enamored by the top pages result. You may find your match in second page,
third page, or even seventh page. The charity that is surfaced in Google first
page may not necessarily be the most trusted. So, in your quest for car
donation California, you need to be carefully observant, circumspect and to
do extensive probe and thorough research. You may ask a charity that you prima
facie think, will be better for you to
show as to how much percentage of the proceed of your car will go to fund its
various welfare projects, its track record, philanthropic activities, so on and
so forth.
Important
things to know about car donation California
California
is the state that is known for providing hassle-free car donation procedure.
Nonetheless, I will like to enlighten you of some of the important things that you
should know regarding car donation in California.
Ø Some Special
Rules for the CA DMV(Division of Motor Vehicles): You will have to leave the license
plates on the vehicles and duly fill a Release of Liability Form. You can
either take it from the office directly and fill out on your own, or may
download from the website of CA DMW.
Ø Non-running
car is not a bar:
You may be thinking hundred times to donate your old car, but every time you
prevent yourself from speaking about your intention or making any effort in
this direction, for you believe how can your car be accepted, when it is not
even in running condition. But, from now onward, just stop entertaining these
kinds of thought, for even a non-running car is accepted for car donation in
California and it is rather accepted gleefully.
Moreover, if you donated the vehicle that is of more than $500, you can
even claim more than the standard five hundred bucks tax reduction.
Ø No
time-consuming inconveniences: Once you decide a particular charity for your car donation
in California, you might start thinking about some time-consuming
inconveniences, like towing away your car(if it is not in running condition),
freeing your parking space to accommodate your new car, so many formalities
that may kill your productive times, so on and so forth. But, you will be
happily surprised to know that you may send all these inconveniences for a
toss, as you are not going to face any inconvenience, no matter of what nature it is.
Right from the arrangement of vehicle to tow away your car, to make a foolproof
legal arrangement, you need not think a bit about any of these inconveniences.
Ø Beware of
Cunning Charities: The world is full of bogus
charities and California is of course not an exception. So many charities are
mushroomed in California and do only onething: hoodwink the credulous people
and capitalize on their ignorance. And you would rather like to make your old
car meet to its natural end than to donate a charity that does all things, but
charity. So, beware of these kinds of charity, opt for only trusted one, take
your time, and decide only when there is an iron-clad guaranty of the veracity
of the claim made by a particular charity, you are planning to donate your car
in California.
