Do you have an old car just sitting in your driveway in Massachusetts ? If you do, you might want to consider donating the car. You can write this off on your taxes and you will be helping out those less fortunate than yourself. It will also cost you absolutely nothing. If you decide you want to donate your old car, there are a few steps you need to take before doing so.

1. Find the title for the car. If you have this lying around, you will need it when they come to pick it up. If you do not have the title anymore, you need to file for a lost title at the DMV and get it back before you donate. If your vehicle was purchased before 1972 however, you are not required to have a title available for it. 
2. Sign the title. If you donate the car to charity without signing the title, it will not be able to go to another person.
3. Call the car donation number and they will pick up your car for you. The number to call is: (877) 505-5775. Pickup is limited to major cities only.
