What happens if you delay

⚠ Escalating Ticket Fees

As tickets continue to accumulate on your abandoned vehicle, fines can skyrocket. Delaying your donation could lead to costs that become unmanageable, with some cities imposing fines of over $1,000.

⚠ Impoundment and Storage Fees

If your vehicle is towed, you may face immediate impound fees that can range from $40 to $100 per day. These costs add up quickly, making your vehicle donation more complex and expensive.

⚠ Complex DMV Procedures

If your vehicle is impounded, you may face bureaucratic hurdles when trying to resolve tickets and retrieve it. This can delay your ability to donate the vehicle and complicate paperwork.

⚠ Municipal Auction Process

If your vehicle is towed to impound, it may ultimately be sold at a municipal auction. This makes the donation process much harder and robs you of the opportunity to help your community.
