What happens if you delay
⚠ Accumulating Fines
If you delay, each day your vehicle remains parked can add to your financial burden. Parking fines can accumulate quickly, resulting in extensive costs that could have been avoided.
⚠ Impound Fees
Failing to act can lead to your vehicle being towed and impounded, accruing daily fees of $40 to $100. These costs add up rapidly, further complicating your donation process.
⚠ Missing Donation Opportunity
Once a vehicle is towed to an impound lot, the donation process becomes significantly harder. You might miss out on a quick and easy donation that helps you while benefiting others.
⚠ DMV Complications
Delaying your donation may lead to complications with the DMV. Resolving existing tickets could be necessary before a release-of-liability is filed, adding more steps to an already complicated process.
