What happens if you delay

⚠ Mounting parking tickets

Each day your vehicle remains in violation may incur more tickets, potentially increasing your financial burden. Ignoring this can quickly add up, leaving you with unexpected fees.

⚠ Impound fees

If your vehicle gets towed, you could be facing daily storage fees of $40-$100. These costs can rapidly accumulate, making it far more expensive than donating your vehicle outright.

⚠ Complicated donation process

Should your vehicle be towed, reclaiming it becomes a complex process. Municipal auction procedures could complicate your ability to donate later, making a quick decision critical.

⚠ Abandoned vehicle fines

In some cases, being flagged for abandonment could result in hefty fines—up to $1,000. Promptly donating your vehicle circumvents this risk entirely.

Have these ready before you submit
