A vehicle that no longer fits your needs still has plenty of potential. Turn it into something that benefits people throughout your community with Goodwill Car Donations.

The value of your donated vehicle helps support programs that give individuals facing unemployment, financial hardship and life-limiting disabilities access to opportunities that can change the direction of their lives.

Donating also gives you a practical way to simplify vehicle ownership. Rather than paying for insurance or registration renewal on something you rarely use, you can remove those ongoing expenses in one simple step. We coordinate the pickup and handle the entire process so you do not have to manage the details yourself.

Give back without the effort!

What Can You Expect During the Donation Process?

Everything begins with a quick phone call to (866) 233-8586 or a short online donation form where you provide basic information about your vehicle.

Once your information has been reviewed, we will work with you to arrange a pickup time that fits your schedule. Whether your automobile is parked outside your home or waiting at a repair facility, a licensed towing partner will retrieve it at no cost to you.

After pickup, our team manages the remaining steps, including processing the vehicle for sale and preparing your documentation. When the sale is complete, your tax-deductible receipt will be mailed or emailed for your records.

Why Does One Vehicle Make Such a Difference?

One donated vehicle can continue creating value long after it leaves your property. The proceeds help fund programs that provide:

• Employment resources
• Career guidance
• Job readiness training
• Educational support
• Mentoring opportunities
• And other services

There are practical benefits for you as well. You avoid the uncertainty of selling privately and eliminate future ownership costs. You can turn it into something meaningful while potentially receiving a tax benefit.

What Kinds of Vehicles May Qualify?

Many different vehicle types can qualify for donation, including:

• Cars
• Trucks
• Vans
• Minivans
• SUVs
• Boats
• Campers
• Motorcycles
• ATVs
• Personal watercraft
• Riding lawn mowers

Many vehicles that have mechanical problems, high mileage or emissions issues may still be eligible. If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, simply contact our team and we will review the details with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be present when my vehicle is picked up?

How quickly can my vehicle be picked up?

In many cases, pickups are scheduled within one to two business days, although timing may vary depending on your location.

What if I cannot find my title?

A vehicle cannot be donated without proof of ownership. If your title has been misplaced, our Title Department can often help you begin the process of obtaining a replacement.

If you still need clarification on our process or where proceeds go, learn more on our FAQ page.

Can inherited vehicles or vehicles with multiple owners be donated?

How Can You Prepare Before Pickup?

Before your scheduled appointment, verify that your title has been signed correctly. If you have questions about the paperwork, contact our Title Department before the tow truck arrives.

You should also remove anything you wish to keep, including personal belongings and other stored items. In many states, license plates should be removed and returned to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

When the pickup is complete, keep the towing receipt in a safe place. You can use it when updating your registration records and canceling your insurance coverage.
