How do I donate a vehicle?

You may either complete our online donation form or call us toll-free at 1-888-484-5563 seven days a week.  We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please contact us anyway and we can most likely make other arrangements.

 

What is the value of my car donation?

The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if we sell the vehicle for more than $500 we will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax purposes.

 

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property.  Here is a link to IRS Publication 4303 — A Donor’s Guide to Car Donations.  You need Adobe Reader to view this file - click here to download the free Reader.

 

Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.

My car doesn't run. Can I still donate it?

Yes! As long as the car has not been dismantled, we can probably accept it even if it is not running. We cannot take cars if the engine or other parts, such as tires, doors, or bumpers, have been removed. If we accept your car, we can make arrangements to have it picked up in a timely manner at no cost to you.

 

How long before my car can be picked up?

We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within three to four business days at the latest.  If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know as we are oftentimes able to accommodate rush orders as well.
