As your moving day approaches, the pressure is on to handle every last detail.

What happens if you delay

⚠ Title Transfer Complications

Delaying your donation can complicate title transfers across state lines. If not handled before your move, you may face headaches managing paperwork in your new state.

⚠ Emissions/Safety Inspections

Some states require emissions or safety inspections before registration. Waiting too long could mean facing unexpected requirements when you relocate.

⚠ Impound Fees

Leaving your vehicle after moving can result in it being towed or impounded, leading to additional fees. Protect yourself by donating before you leave.

⚠ Loss of Vehicle Value

If you abandon your vehicle, it may lose value or incur additional costs. Taking action now ensures you maximize your donation's value before your move.
