Since 2005, Goodwill Car Donations has helped communities grow stronger by turning donated vehicles into life-changing support. On this page, you’ll learn how your car donation in Alabama creates real local impact, what types of vehicles we accept, how easy the process is and why donating through Goodwill ensures your gift directly benefits neighbors across the state.

With Goodwill Car Donations, we’ll gladly take that unused vehicle off your hands and put it to good use through charitable programs. It’s a win-win! You can stop spending on insurance, registration and repairs, and support a mission while earning a tax deduction to make a real difference for people throughout the Yellowhammer State.

Instead of donating to an organization where you don’t know the results, your Alabama car donation directly supports people in your state. You’ll feel great knowing you’re helping individuals and families in places like Montgomery, Birmingham, Mobile and beyond through our proven community programs.

Why Do So Many Alabama Residents Need Support?

Alabama, the “Heart of Dixie,” is rich in history and hospitality. It’s home to notable landmarks like Fort Morgan, the USS Alabama and the Alabama State Capitol. But despite its charm, Alabama faces real economic challenges. Hundreds of thousands of residents live below the poverty line, with Perry and Sumter Counties among the hardest-hit areas. That’s why Goodwill Car Donations works hard to support these communities through our vehicle donation program.

What Kind of Cars Do We Accept?

No need to worry about your vehicle’s condition when you donate to charity. We accept both working and nonworking cars. Through our Alabama car donation program, we accept everything from sedans, trucks, and vans to RVs, boats and even jet skis. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, just give us a quick call and we’ll be happy to help.

How Do You Donate Your Car for Charity?

When you’re ready to share with those in need, we make it simple from start to finish.

Here’s how the process works:

It all starts with just one step. Call us at (866) 233-8586 or fill out our online donation form. That’s it.

Once we hear from you, we’ll schedule a pickup time that works for you. We handle everything else.

Our team will tow your vehicle, auction it and use the proceeds to fund local community programs. After the sale, we’ll mail you a tax receipt you can use when filing your return. It really is that easy to donate to a cause.

Why Choose Goodwill Car Donations in Your State?

While many charities accept car donations, giving to Goodwill means your contribution goes toward job training and life-changing services for people in Alabama. When you donate to us, you’re helping your fellow Alabamians move toward brighter futures.

With Goodwill Car Donations, your car is in good hands. You’ll enjoy a legitimate tax deduction and avoid the hassle of towing or paperwork because we manage the entire process. That means less stress for you and more impact for your community.

Can I Donate Even If My Vehicle No Longer Runs?

Yes, absolutely! Goodwill Car Donations accepts vehicles in almost any condition, including those that no longer run. Whether your car has mechanical issues, flat tires or has been sitting unused for years, you can still donate it. We even provide free towing, so there’s no need to worry about transporting a nonworking vehicle yourself. If you’re unsure about your specific situation, just give us a call and we’re happy to help.

How Soon Can My Vehicle Be Picked Up?

We aim to make pickup quick and convenient for you. In most cases, vehicle pickups are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours after you contact us. Once you complete the donation form or call us, our team will coordinate with you to set a pickup time that fits your schedule. Weekend and after-hours pickups may also be available in some areas.

What Documents Do I Need to Donate My Vehicle?

Typically, all you need is the vehicle’s title to complete the donation. If you’ve lost the title, let us know. Our team can often help you obtain a replacement or guide you through your state’s process. We’ll handle most of the paperwork and make the process easy from start to finish.
