What happens if you delay
⚠ Liability Attribution
If you don’t surrender your vehicle before the registration expires, the state DMV will continue to assign liability to you, leaving you responsible for any incidents involving the vehicle.
⚠ Auto-Suspension of License
In many states, having multiple lapsed vehicles can lead to the auto-suspension of your driver’s license. Don’t risk losing your driving privileges just because of inaction.
⚠ Public Taxation Fees
Even if you don’t use the vehicle, the ad-valorem tax bill will still be invoiced to you. You could end up paying for a vehicle that is not being utilized.
⚠ Auto-Renewal Fees
Your registration will automatically renew, accruing unwanted fees that can add up quickly. Avoid these financial headaches by donating your vehicle now.
