How to Gift A Car

If you’re gifting someone their dream car, you need to do it right! Not only will you want to plan a grand reveal, but you have to make sure the vehicle is logistically ready for them to call their own. Here’s how to gift a car:

  • Purchase or pay off the car in full. You have to own the car to transfer the title or gift it.
  • Make sure the new owner can pay ongoing expenses. This includes paying for car insurance, gas, repairs, maintenance, and more. If they can’t cover ongoing costs but you’d still like to gift the car, you’ll need to plan to cover them yourself.
  • Be prepared to pay gift tax. Requirements change yearly, but you may need to pay gift tax after gifting the vehicle.
  • Create a bill of sale. This will ensure legal responsibility for the car is with the person you gifted it to. A bill of sale should include the make and model of the car, the odometer reading, the purchase price of the vehicle, and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
  • Transfer the title. You can do this at your local DMV.
  • Make sure the giftee is insured. To legally drive the car, the giftee will need to add it to their current insurance policy. Or, if they’re a dependent, add them to your own policy.
  • Plan the big reveal. What’s the fun of gifting a car without a big reveal? At the very least, slap a bow on the car and bait the giftee outside to see it. Then, sit back to watch them react to their best Christmas present yet!
