These services include:

• Job placements

How Does the Car Donation Process Work?

Unlike other organizations with car donation programs, Goodwill has a 3-step process that’s seamless, easy, and stress free.

Here’s how our Tucson, AZ car donation process works:

1. Contact us 

Provide some basic details either over the phone or online about the car you’re donating, such as its make, model, and condition.

2. Coordinate pickup

We will send a professional towing company to haul your car away at a time that’s convenient for you. The driver will issue you a towing receipt, which you can use to cancel your car’s registration and insurance coverage.

3. Receive your tax-deductible receipt

We will promptly put up your car for auction. Within 30 days after its sale, we’ll send you a tax-deductible sales receipt. You’ll need this receipt to claim your deduction when you file your next itemized federal tax return.

What Types of Vehicles Can You Donate?

You can donate most types of vehicles through our Tucson, Arizona car donation program. Even if your vehicle won’t start anymore, chances are we can still accept it.

A title is required to donate your car. If you don’t have the genuine vehicle title, we may not be able to accept it. If you’ve lost or misplaced your car’s title, you can still move forward with your donation. Call us at 866-233-8586, and one of our title experts will assist you in getting a duplicate copy of your title right away.
