Donate Before Parking Tickets Pile Up in Hawaii!

Don’t let your vehicle become a burden—donate today to avoid mounting parking tickets and potential impound!

Time is running out! If your vehicle is abandoned or stationary in a public space, parking enforcement is already on the lookout. You have only 72 hours before it falls under the abandoned-vehicle ordinance, leading to potential impounding and hefty fees. Without action, existing parking tickets can accumulate, making the situation even worse.

Your solution is simple: donate your vehicle to Island Wheels today! We offer same-day or next-day pickups in most metro areas across Hawaii. We’ll handle the ticket history separately from your donation, ensuring a smooth process that gets your vehicle off the street. Don’t wait—act now to avoid additional complications!

What happens if you delay

⚠ Accumulating Fees

Delaying your donation can lead to accumulating tickets and additional fees. Each day can cost you between $40-100 for storage fees, adding up quickly.

⚠ Increased Difficulty of Donation

If your vehicle is towed to impound, donating becomes significantly more complex. You will need to navigate municipal auction processes, which can delay your donation.

⚠ Potential Fines

In some cities, an abandoned-vehicle fine can be as high as $1,000. Avoid these fines by acting quickly and ensuring your vehicle is donated before it’s classified as abandoned.

⚠ Loss of Release-of-Liability

Without a timely donation, you risk losing the ability to file for a release-of-liability with the DMV, potentially leaving you liable for future tickets and fines.

Have these ready before you submit

Hawaii specifics

In Hawaii, it's essential to be aware of the local DMV regulations regarding abandoned vehicles. The typical response time for towing operators can be quite fast, which means your time to act is limited. State laws dictate that vehicles must be moved within 72 hours of being flagged, or they risk impoundment. Save yourself from the headache of impound fees and fines by contacting Island Wheels today!
