To initiate a voluntary automobile surrender is risky, at best. The procedure is to take your car , which is not completely paid for, back to the company who is financing the car note, and to permanently leave it, with no plan to make another payment.

. owner. This could also negatively affect the owner's credit rating. see more details at http://www.bills.com/blog/voluntary-surrender-of-vehicle/.
