The first thing that you must do if you have already decided that you will donate your car is to determine what charitable agencies will benefit from your donation. I have noticed that there are numerous agencies in California that accept donations directly including organizations that raise fund for orphans, abandoned elderly, and sick individuals. After I selected which charity to give my car in California, I called the organization to learn more about the process of car donation. Although every charitable agency follows their own process for car donations, I guess there are several state policies in California that every agency should abide.
Car Transfer, Title And Plates, How To Donate A Car In California Based Charitable Agency
I highly suggest that you donate your car to any agency that accepts direct donations. However, you must be certain to transfer the title of the car to the agency. Since I have lost my copy of the car title, I went to California Department of Motor Vehicles and fill out forms 262 and 227. These forms must be filled out completely and must be endorsed to the person or agency picking up the car. I have learned that according to California law, all vehicle owners must keep the license plates on their vehicles at all times. Thus, when I donated my car I did not detached the plates.
