DONATE YOUR CAR
There are just 3 simple steps!
1. Contact Us
2. Schedule Pickup
3. Tax Deduction
Your unused vehicle can become a powerful source of support for people in your community who are facing impoverished situations. Instead of letting an unwanted car continue taking up space in your driveway or garage, you can turn it into funding that helps people gain job skills, career support, education opportunities and other services that help them move toward greater independence and stability. Your donation creates real opportunities for individuals and families working hard to improve their lives.
The process is designed to be quick and convenient for you. You do not have to deal with the stress of trying to sell your vehicle. We handle all the logistics from start to finish so you can focus on making a meaningful impact in your community. Your vehicle can continue helping others long after you no longer need it.
Donating your vehicle can also help simplify your life. You may qualify for a tax deduction while eliminating the ongoing costs connected to a vehicle you no longer use, including maintenance and insurance expenses. Instead of continuing to invest money into an unwanted vehicle, you can transform it into support that helps strengthen your community and provide better futures for people in need.
How Does the Donation Process Work?
Getting started is easy. You can call (866) 233-8586 or complete the online donation form with a few basic details about your vehicle. We will ask for information such as the make, model, condition and location of the vehicle, along with your preferred pickup time and contact information. The process only takes a few minutes and is designed to make donating as simple as possible for you.
After your information is verified, we schedule a free towing pickup at a location that works best for your schedule. Your vehicle can often be picked up from your home, workplace, repair shop or another convenient location. We work around your availability to make the experience stress-free from beginning to end.
Once your vehicle is picked up, we take care of the heavy lifting for you. Our team handles the sale process. After the vehicle is sold, you receive a tax-deductible receipt for your records. Every part of the process is handled carefully and professionally so you can enjoy a simple donation experience while supporting programs that create lasting change in your community.
Why Does Your Vehicle Donation Matter?
Your donated vehicle helps fund programs that support people who are working toward a better future. The proceeds from your vehicle’s sale help provide services such as career training, job placement support, mentoring, education assistance and other resources that help individuals overcome barriers to employment and financial stability. Your donation can help someone gain independence and create a stronger future for themselves and their family.
Donating also helps you save both time and money. You no longer need to continue paying for repairs, maintenance, registration fees, storage costs or insurance coverage for a vehicle you no longer want or use. You also avoid the hassle of advertising your vehicle, negotiating with buyers or arranging a private sale on your own.
There may also be financial benefits available to you. Depending on the vehicle’s final selling price or fair market value, you may qualify for a tax deduction. Your donation allows you to support meaningful community programs while removing the stress and expense connected to an unwanted vehicle.
What Vehicles Can You Donate?
We accept a wide range of vehicles, although some limitations apply. Common donations include cars, vans, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, campers, golf carts and ATVs. If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, our team is happy to answer your questions and help guide you through the process.
Your vehicle does not need to be in perfect condition to make a difference. We often accept vehicles that no longer run, have cosmetic damage, mechanical issues or failed emissions tests. Even older or heavily used vehicles may still qualify for donation and help support valuable community programs.
Examples of commonly donated vehicles include:
- Cars: sedans, convertibles, hatchback, coupe, hybrid or luxury cars, SUVs, vans, crossovers, family minivans
- Specialty vehicles: RVs, campers, ATVs, 4x4s, trailers, riding lawn mowers, snowmobile, motorized wheelchair
- Motorcycles: cruisers, scooters, big bikes, choppers
- Fleet vehicles: trucks, vans, bus
- Non-commercial boats and planes: yachts, sailboats, pontoons, private jets, personal aircraft
If your vehicle type is not listed or if you are considering multiple donations, visit our FAQ page or contact us directly to find out whether your vehicle qualifies.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. You do not need to be present during the pickup process. We can provide simple instructions for a contact-free pickup if needed.
Most vehicles are picked up within one to two business days after scheduling, although pickup timing may vary depending on your location and availability.
Proof of ownership is required, and abandoned vehicles cannot be accepted. If you have lost your title, our team can often help you request a duplicate title so you can continue with the donation process.
Inherited vehicles and vehicles with multiple owners can often still qualify for donation. Requirements may vary by state, so contact our team for guidance specific to your situation and paperwork.
What Should You Do Before Pickup?
Before your vehicle is picked up, make sure your paperwork is signed correctly. If you are unsure where to sign the title or what information is required, contact our Title Department before completing the paperwork to help avoid delays or mistakes.
You should also remove all personal belongings from your vehicle before pickup. In many states, license plates should also be removed and returned to the DMV. Preparing your vehicle ahead of time helps make the process easier and more efficient for everyone involved.
At pickup, the tow truck driver will provide you with a towing receipt for your records. You can use this receipt to help cancel your insurance coverage and registration after the donation process is complete.
Beyond Donating, How Else Can You Help Your Community?
If you want to support people in need beyond donating a vehicle, consider contacting local organizations that connect residents with volunteer opportunities throughout Washington County. The Washington County Department of Human Services helps connect low-income residents with food assistance, emergency shelter, housing support, mental health services and other essential resources. Because the department works directly with people facing financial hardship, it can often help direct volunteers toward meaningful opportunities that support individuals and families in need.
You can also contact the Washington County Department of Human Services Housing and Homeless Services division, which provides emergency shelter, transitional housing and homelessness prevention services for residents facing housing instability. In addition, the Redevelopment Authority of the County of Washington works with affordable housing and home improvement programs that support low- and moderate-income residents. These organizations can help connect you with volunteer opportunities that make a meaningful impact throughout your community.
