It's easy to donate your car in Chicago, a city originally founded in 1833 over half a century before automobiles became common place in the United States.  Donate A Car 2 Charity processes hundreds of car donations each year from this metropolitan area which has been home to many influential politicians, including the current President of the USA, Barack Obama. While Chicago residents obviously love to drive and eventually donate cars, Chicago is also a major air transportation and telecommunications hub, with the O'Hare International Airport being the second busiest airport in the world.
