5 special occasions to give someone a car as a gift

If you're one of the lucky people on Earth that could give away a car just like that, wouldn't you wonder when the best times would be to do so? Philkotse.com have here a list of the best occasions where it's most appropriate to give a car as a gift. 

1. Wedding

A wedding is one of the most memorable events in a couple's life. This is when close friends and family members from both parties come together to wish the new couple a prosperous life ahead. Naturally, the bride and groom are showered with wrapped gifts and cash.

As Filipinos, we often give home appliances and practical household items as gifts to aid in the couple's new life together. However, if you have a sky-high budget and you want to give the new couple something they're sure to use and love - you can give them a car.

Our superstitions do say that receiving luxurious gifts on your wedding day means that you'll have a prosperous life ahead. So if you have the monetary capability, then why not get the happy couple a  new car they can ride to the honeymoon location?

You may find it hard to pick a vehicle for a newly-wed, but we're sure they're then happy to accept whatever unit you can afford! However, if you're picky and determined to send your best wishes to the couple, you can get them a hatchback or a crossover.

2. Birthday

A birthday celebrant would be grateful to receive any thought of appreciation from you on his big day. However, if he or she is a special person in your life and you believe they deserve it, why not get them a car?

Just make sure that the celebrant is at a legal age or already has a valid driver's license or you might want to get them that first before an actual car. If you want to give your gift early to an underage celebrant, you can also consult the dealership of your choice if they offer long-term purchased reservation.

This is a common offer in other countries that some dealerships in the Philippines are applying to their service list to accommodate the needs of their clients. The offer mainly lets you buy a car for someone who is underage. So instead of giving the car to the recipient, you can gift the certificate of ownership for the meantime.

The car will remain at the dealership (or in a safe location as stated in the contract). This will only be until the recipient reaches the legal age or as written in the certificate of ownership. Then, the car can now be awarded to the recipient after meeting the age requirements in the contract.

3. Graduation

Graduating definitely is the sweet reward at the end of a stressful four-year (sometimes longer)  adventure in school. It is often a heartwarming and tear-jerking event for students,  especially to their parents. This is also one of the best times to give a car as a gift to the proud graduate!

Why? Well after graduation, there's the pressure of getting a job and tracing where and what you want to be. Before that, one would need to run errands regarding post-graduation concerns and a car would really be useful.

The recipient would also need a good mode of transportation when he goes on a job hunt and starts working. Assuming that most fresh graduates are not perfectly great drivers, a sedan is what we can recommend as a gift.

The controls are easier on this type of vehicle and the dimensions are also easier to estimate around turns and tight parking areas. The seating capacity is also accommodating since most sedans can sit up to five people and the best part? It's less expensive than SUVs, hatchbacks and other big vehicles!

4. Newborn baby

Getting a new addition to the family is one of the most exciting news a person can hear. Top it off with the excitement of wondering if it's a boy or a girl and the parents really got a handful of things to think about!

Unfortunately, one of these things is the fact that they need to make a plus-one on everything to make room for the coming baby. This is where a new car might just be the perfect gift that can lighten their worries from their growing family.

Depending on the number of family members, we can suggest a regular sedan or if they're more than five members after the baby, you can gift a vehicle with more seating capacity like an SUV.

While you're at it, why not throw in a few extra bucks to your total spend by making your gift more functional? Surprise the lucky family by adding an infant baby carrier into the vehicle! Now they get a new car for the starter families that can fit and even the baby can safely come along to trips too!

5. Overcoming life-problems

Getting through the troubles that life throws at a person is harder than it looks. Whether it's an annulment, a medical operation, a project proposal or even finally getting that promotion after months of work - it's definitely a great feeling to overcome whatever problem it is they're facing.

Reaping the hard-earned reward after the problem is sweet, but getting a car as a gift is more than motivational. If you know someone who could use a car as a reward from you or maybe just because you want to give them one, then why not!

The choice of vehicle will be entirely up to you and your budget. You can always pick something according to the recipient's lifestyle. If he has a small business, he would appreciate a pickup truck to take goods here and there.

However, it all comes down to how much you're willing to spend. If you can't afford a pickup, we're sure he'll appreciate whatever it is you could get for them.
