The driver was very polite and accommodating when I had to delay pickup for a short while in order to get back to my house on time. The whole process was very smooth and efficient.

It ended well for me thanks to Stephanie. She agreed to accept a digital copy of my wife's death certificate along with the paper title and a paper copy of my wife's will as she and I were both named on the car title. Our local public TV and radio stations often ask for car donations. The process was daunting but well detailed and as I no longer need a car I was eager to get rid of the expensive maintenance, registration and insurance. I was pleased to learn of the refunds for unused registration and insurance from my state DMV and car insurance company, respectively. I expect over five hundred dollars combined, a reminder of all the incidentals of car ownership. For a twenty year old currently dead Prius, my dearly departed wife's last car, that's the best deal I could get anywhere.
