There are several alternatives to Give a Car, we list two which don't deduct a 25% administration fee and will if you want just pay you directly so you can give the money to whichever charity you choose.
One site is run by a Charity Refined Giving, it works it much the same way as Give a Car, but because its a charity they are able to arrange for donations from tax payers to benefit from Gift Aid, which means the charity receives a further 25%. You can find their dedicated car donation site at; www.giftmycar.co.uk
You can still give your money to any charity, together witha few promoted by Gift My Car.
If your car is repairable they sell it on your behalf to the trade, rather than to auction. This reduces the significant costs the auction sites charge for collecting and handling the car.
Gift My Car will tell you how much your car is worth before its collected, so everything is transparent.
They can achieve these significant advantages by working with Metal Monkey Recycling, who don't charge Gift My for using their services. Why would they, its no different from you contacting them directly to arrange for the collection of your car.

The other way of increasing the value of you car donation is to use Car Take Back's charity service, www.charitycar.co.uk. This service won't provide your chosen charity with the additional 25% Gift Aid you get from Gift My Car, but it will save you the 25% administration charge that will be deducted by Give a Car from your kind donation and as the largest collector of scrap cars in the uk, its te very same service as Give A Car uses anyway.
