Can I donate my car if I still owe money on it?

Yes, it is possible to donate a car even if there is still money owed on it. However, the process may be a bit more complex than donating a vehicle that is fully paid off. When a car has an outstanding loan, the lender typically holds the title to the vehicle. This means that the donor should first contact their lender to discuss the options available. In some cases, the lender may allow the donation to proceed as long as the loan balance is paid off at the time of the donation. It is important to understand that the charity receiving the donation may have specific requirements regarding the condition of the vehicle and the title. Therefore, it is advisable for donors to clarify these details with the charity and the lender beforehand. Additionally, donors should be aware that the tax deduction they may receive from the donation could be influenced by the loan balance and the vehicle's value. For those interested in donating their vehicle with an outstanding loan, it can be beneficial to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor for guidance.
