Have you dreamed of the transfer of a vehicle for free? Know that some do! Giving a car is a civic act, to allow RSA beneficiaries and those who cannot afford to buy one to be able to continue to live, move around and go to work. If you are interested in donating your used vehicle, you can contact an association that helps the unemployed without resources. Here they are.
The functioning of the association is based on donation and volunteering. An individual gives his Renault (or any other brand, it doesn’t matter, it’s just for example), another, who has mechanical skills, repairs it so that it works perfectly, in complete safety.
Vehicles accepted
The Car dealership only accepts vehicles registered from 2000. They must be less than 150,000 km for a gasoline vehicle, and less than 200,000 km for a diesel.
How much does it cost ?
Be aware that it will still be possible to contribute financially because there are costs such as technical control, or spare parts that had to be changed.
A contribution of between 1,500 and 3,000 $ is requested from beneficiaries. For this sum, the car given to you is checked, repaired, it has passed the technical control and is in perfect working order.
