Donation was a very easy process
1) My initial call to “Vehicles for Veterans” was easy. Call operator took my information and promised I would be contacted by a towing company to haul my car away. I was told I could select my pickup time for my convenience. 2) Within 24 hours a tow service called to make arrangements for my car pickup at a repair shop. I didn’t have as much flexibility for my desired pickup time as promised but all worked out well and I met the tow truck driver at the repair shop a couple days later to give him my keys and a signed Title. He was very courteous and since the car still was operational he drove it onto the bed of his truck and drove off within 15 minutes. 3) I was kept informed with each step of the process by email and received a receipt for my donated car. I would receive notice of the actual auctioned sale of the car if it sold for more than the default $500 tax claim amount. 4) Within a month I received a letter in the mail that the car auctioned for $925 and if I wanted to claim this amount as a 2024 tax deduction instead of the default $500, I should send my social security number back to Vehicles for Vets. This I diid using the Vehicles for Vets stamped envelope. 4) Not long after, I received in the mail a Federal tax form 1098-C “Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes” confirming a donation of $925 for my donated car. I will use this when preparing my 2024 taxes. 5) I needed to inform my state of Minnesota that I had donated my car. By law the license plates had to follow the car and not be removed. I also needed to inform State Farm insurance t that I had donated the car and to let the current policy expire ( it had only a month left before renewal) 6) In summary my car donation process was simple and proceeded in a timely manner with no problems.
