Most charitable giving happens in cash, but an old car parked in a Endwell driveway is often the more sensible thing to give. The vehicle generates insurance and registration bills while it sits and depreciates the longer the decision waits.
Donating the car directly converts it into a tax deduction documented by IRS Form 1098-C, and the towing is on the receiving charity rather than the donor.

Generally only after the lien is paid off and the lender has released the title. Donating a vehicle with an active lien creates legal complications because the lender, not the registered owner, technically controls the title.
