Can I Donate a Car Without Current Insurance?

Yes, You Can — If You Donate It to Kids Car Donations!

Do you have a no-longer running car that’s been in your garage for as long as you can remember? It won’t surprise anyone if its last insurance coverage has already lapsed. Perhaps you’re now wondering if you can dispose of that clunker by donating it to charity even without current insurance.

In most cases, an insurance coverage on a vehicle being donated is needed to protect both you and the charitable organization receiving the donation from potential liabilities. This is because the organization will want to ensure that the vehicle is properly covered during the donation process.

Donating a car without insurance may expose you to certain risks and liabilities. If you want to donate a car that doesn’t have current insurance, you’ll need to contact the specific organization or charity you’re interested in donating it to and inquire about its requirements and policies. The organization will be able to provide you with accurate information and guide you through the donation process.

 

We Will Gladly Accept Your Uninsured Car!

Some organizations may decline to accept a vehicle being offered for donation if it doesn’t have current insurance. Others, however, do not have such a stringent policy. Take Kids Car Donations for instance. If you decide to donate your old and uninsured car to us, we will gladly accept it!

Before picking up and towing your vehicle away, we will issue you a towing receipt that releases you from any and all liability on that vehicle from that point onward. At that point, your vehicle will be under our own insurance coverage.  We will also handle all transfer documents according to the requirements of your state. With Kids Car Donations, you can count on our team to handle everything for you!

 

How Your Donation Will Benefit Your Community’s Ailing Kids

We’ll auction off your vehicle and use the proceeds to support the pediatric healthcare programs of our IRS-determined 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners. These charities cater to children and adolescents from low-income families who are suffering from serious illnesses, injuries, and disabilities.

Our charity partners use the funding they get from us to provide their young beneficiaries with comprehensive medical assistance, including free treatments and therapies, emotional support, relief of pain and trauma during hospital confinement, and other vital healthcare services.

They likewise provide deserving pediatric patients with access to free social services and educational resources. These charities are also active in promoting child health care, advocacy, research, and education.

 

The Outstanding Rewards You’ll Get and Other Important Things You Might Want to Know

When you donate a vehicle to us, you’ll also be helping yourself. Besides getting our free professional towing service anywhere in the country, your charitable contribution will also entitle you to claim the maximum tax deduction in the next tax season. What’s more, we’ll handle all the paperwork for you.

More than anything else, you’ll experience the priceless satisfaction of knowing that your donation will be used to help restore the health of ailing kids in your area, giving them a brighter and happier future.

We accept almost all types of vehicles whatever their ages or working conditions — as long as they’re not abandoned or stolen. To make it possible for us to sell a vehicle at auction, we need its title or proof of ownership, which abandoned or stolen vehicles do not have.

However, in case you’ve just misplaced your vehicle’s title, call us at 866-634-8395 and we’ll gladly help you secure a duplicate copy of your title quickly so you can proceed with your donation.
