The article will discuss how to get a car for free.
Which of us does not dream of a brand new car, comfortable, beautiful? But most often the purchase is hampered by the price with a not very high salary, and someone does not really want to get involved in car loans. But the thought of many people does not let go, and they wonder: how to get a car for free? And if a citizen has a disability, is there a chance for such a privilege? We will try to answer all these questions.
Ways to get a car without cash costs
You can try to look for interesting offers from charitable companies. There are several organizations that, under the guidance of foreign sponsors, provide assistance to large families or other needy citizens. Only for this, of course, it is necessary to prove their plight.
If you use bulletin boards on the Internet, such as Avito, Yula, etc., then on the pages of “Free / Give” you can find several announcements about the transfer of cars for free. Of course, it will not be an expensive foreign car, most likely, some kind of a used car of the Russian manufacturer and most often requiring repair work. But there is still a chance to get it for free. You can also search for information at auto forums, there have been cases when well-off citizens gave their old transport just like that.
There is another way - to buy a lottery ticket or take part in a TV show where a car is being played. Of course, this method is still costly and far from accurate. But there are miracles, so why not take a chance?
One of the easiest ways is to find work related to transportation and the provision of transport. Sometimes drivers are allowed to use the car for personal purposes. There are a number of companies that provide a machine with advertising images printed on it. To do this, you will have to work hard and go through a large competitive selection.
Investing in exchange for a car
There are ads related to investing in exchange for a car. Cars, of course, are not new. But you can purchase them for free, and if the borrower does not deceive you, then after the operation you will receive your money.
But what, is a car for a disabled person provided?
As for people with disabilities, then in our country a program has been operating for a long time to provide such citizens with a car. They not only received the car, but also could change it after the warranty.
So who should get a free car? Let's figure it out.
For invalids
Citizens with disabilities in our country have the right to various assistance. Indeed, one of the tasks of a developed society is to provide people with disabilities with comfortable conditions so that they can easily socialize, be able to actively participate in public life, and carry out labor activities. Of course, providing a car would make life easier for such people. Indeed, for them it is not only a means of transportation, but also a chance to feel like a full-fledged unit of society.
Law
Since 1995, a law has existed in our country, according to which the following privileges were granted to people with disabilities:
- a car was purchased at the expense of the FSS budget;
- Car repair was carried out;
- expenses for gasoline or other fuel and lubricants were compensated;
- technical inspection and minor repairs were also carried out free of charge.
Unfortunately, this law ended in 2004. Now, vehicles with manual control can be received by disabled people, who in turn became before 2005. And for other people with disabilities of groups I and II, compensation applies.
Getting a preferential car in 2019 from the state
How to get a car for free, it is important to find out in advance. In 2019, a preferential car for the disabled is available only for the category of citizens who managed to submit documents to the FSS before 2005.
If you are standing in this queue and you have to receive special vehicles, then you need the following documents:
- disability team confirmation;
- the decision of the medical and social examination, in which there is a conclusion on providing the wheelchair user with a preferential car;
- a medical certificate authorizing you to drive special vehicles;
- A driver’s license must be with the person with the certificate of a disabled person or with the person who is his guardian.
Not all people with disabilities apply for such a benefit, only:
- participants and veterans of the Great Patriotic War or equivalent to them;
- former prisoners of concentration camps;
- children with disabilities with congenital diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- citizens with disabilities due to radiation exposure.
What should be a car for a disabled person?
A car for the category of citizens with the inability to move independently must comply with the following parameters:
- Reliability - a special vehicle should not pose a threat to other road users. It must be safe, comfortable for a person with disabilities.
- Practicality - the person who will manage it should not have problems with movement, so that the person can easily fit inside, without discomfort.
This type of social assistance to people with disabilities was developed in the USSR, and then these points, unfortunately, could not be fulfilled. They were provided with Tavria or Oka cars, which by no means met the needs and requirements of wheelchairs. They tried to redo them, to make room in the cabin, in order to somehow create comfort for people. And when regulatory acts on the transfer of a car had already been developed and approved, they began to approach the selection of cars individually. Sometimes foreign cars were bought that were equipped with a mounted control unit. After that, of course, it was necessary to obtain a certificate from the traffic police for the installation of equipment. Of course, it took a lot of time, it was laborious, but there were excellent means of transportation. And after such alterations, the car did not return to the social security authorities. There was an opportunity to sell or issue a deed of gift for a loved one.
What awaits people with disabilities in 2019?
How to get a free car for a disabled person? For several years now, deputies of the State Duma have been discussing the issue of returning such social assistance, but they still cannot allocate funds for the implementation of the program. If you or your close relative did not receive the car, while you are standing in line, then contact the nearest FSS to resolve this issue.
In 2019, citizens with disabilities can only rely on the Social Taxi service. To use it, you must:
- apply to the territorial society of disabled people of Russia, which should be in the subject of residence or social protection bodies;
- fill out an application for a taxi service;
- present to the employee of the company the necessary package of documents;
- register in the "Social taxi" direction.
To receive such a service, you must prepare the following documents:
- passport of the Russian Federation;
- SNILS;
- certificate confirming the disability group;
- social card data.
When all the necessary documents are submitted and the application is considered, the disabled person is included in the general list of beneficiaries for using the taxi service. In a couple of days, a citizen can call himself a car. A special car will come that is equipped to transport people with disabilities. You can move on it both in the village and in neighboring regions. During working hours, you can easily get to the clinic or store. But such transport is not free, and you will have to pay for the trip at the lowest fare.
Other transport benefits for car owners
If you belong to a limited mobility group and you have your own car, then a number of privileges are provided for you:
- In each constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a local government regulates tax collection and reduction or provision of benefits. In more affluent regions, the transport tax is abolished for veterans of the Second World War with disabilities of groups I and II. In many regions, there are cases of providing a 50% discount for paying such a tax, only engine power is taken into account.
- Free maintenance of your own car. Moreover, this does not depend on the age of the disabled person. If a child lives in the family who is physically unhealthy, then his parents can take advantage of such a benefit.
- In large cities, there is a problem with parking, so citizens with disabilities are provided with a free parking space.
Of course, people with disabilities are waiting for decisions made by the federal authorities in 2019. The following issues were again introduced for consideration:
- provide free cars of Russian production, already equipped with manual control;
- to pay monetary compensation for the independent purchase of vehicles.
Conclusion
I really want to hope that the proposals made to improve the lives of people with physical disabilities will be able to accept and implement in the near future. Whichever option the officials choose, the main thing is that this program starts working again and benefit our compatriots.
