FAQ: Vehicle Donation

What are the benefits of donating my car to RRISA?

RRISA benefits by receiving a cash donation to fund new and existing programs and increase community involvement in our organization.

You benefit by being able to reduce your taxable income when taxes are itemized. Plus you avoid the costs associated with selling your car. No need to pay for advertising, no loss of privacy and possible security risk, and no need to pay for vehicle registration, insurance, and repairs to keep your car in running condition while you wait for a buyer.

Does my car have to be running to donate it?

In some cases we can take your car, running or not. However, it must have an engine and be tow-able. Contact our office at 404-622-2235 ext: 243 to find out if your vehicle qualifies for pick-up.

Do you only accept cars for donation?

Many types of motor vehicles are accepted including boats, motorcycles, trucks, and cars. If you are uncertain as to whether or not your vehicle is eligible, please contact the vehicle donation program at 404-622-2235 ext: 243.

How long will it take to pick up my vehicle?

We make donating your car as simple and convenient as possible. Call our office at 404-622-2235 ext: 243.

Do I have to be with the vehicle at the time of pick-up?

No. Special arrangements can be made by calling our representative.

Do I pay for the towing?

No, there is no charge to you for the towing.

What paperwork do I need?

The only paperwork needed is a signed, clear title. Have your title with you when you call-in your donation. [Please note: a clear title indicates the title is in the name of the donor without a lien].

Do I need a smog certificate in order to donate my car?

For states that require smog certificates or safety inspections, you may donate your vehicle without these documents.

What if I receive legal notices?

In the rare event that you receive any notification of a lien sale, DMV actions or other activity related to your donated vehicle, please contact us at 404-622-2235 ext: 243 immediately for assistance.
