Managing an aging or surplus fleet of vehicles is expensive and inefficient. When you donate surplus cars, vans, trucks, and buses to Goodwill Car Donations, you support men and women facing poverty, unemployment, and disabilities that impact their daily lives.
By donating your company’s vehicles to Goodwill Car Donations, you eliminate the burden of maintenance, repairs, registration, and insurance – all while making a direct impact on people facing poverty and employment barriers in your community. We handle the entire donation process for you, from pickup to paperwork, so your company can focus on what matters most.
How The Donation Process Works
Goodwill Car Donations makes it easy to donate your surplus vehicle inventory with a quick, 3-step process.
1. Reach Out by Phone or Online
Call (866) 233-8586 or fill out our online form with basic details about your fleet vehicles. We’ll ask for information about their years, makes, models, and general condition so we can verify eligibility.
2. Schedule Your Free Pickup
Once we confirm your vehicles qualify, we arrange a towing time and location that works for your business. Whether you prefer to arrange pickup at your facility, warehouse, or another convenient spot, you choose what fits your schedule best.
3. Let Us Handle the Rest
Our team manages the sale of your fleet vehicles and all the paperwork involved. The proceeds from the sale benefit our nonprofit partners, while you receive a tax-deductible receipt for your records.
Why Your Fleet Vehicle Donation Matters
When you donate your fleet vehicles, they’re sold at auction and the proceeds from their sale fund job training, career counseling, and employment placement programs that help people overcome barriers to work. That funding:
- Enables someone with a disability to find stable employment
- Helps a person experiencing homelessness access housing support
- Opens doors for countless others facing economic hardship
Your donation directly transforms lives by providing the services and opportunities people need to build better futures.
Benefits to Fleet Donation
Fleet vehicles consume significant budget allocation due to maintenance and repairs in addition to registration fees and insurance costs. Donating eliminates these recurring expenses and frees up valuable facility space. It’s a cleaner, faster alternative to the complexity of selling aging vehicles individually and also eliminates disposal costs.
Beyond the operational advantages, vehicle donations generally qualify for tax deductions based on each vehicle’s fair market value. These deductions can provide real financial relief for your company while supporting community programs. It’s a practical way to improve your balance sheet while creating meaningful change.
What Fleet Vehicles Can You Donate?
We accept a wide range of fleet vehicles. This includes cargo vans, box trucks, sedans, pickup trucks, SUVs, passenger vans, shuttle buses, motorcycles, and utility vehicles. We also accept vehicles in poor condition or those that have failed emissions tests. Even if your fleet vehicles are outdated or need significant repairs, we can still work with you.
Check our accepted vehicles page to learn more about what qualifies.
What to Do Before We Pick Up Your Fleet Vehicles
Prepare your fleet vehicles for pickup by following these simple steps:
- Prepare the paperwork. Make sure all titles are signed correctly prior to vehicle pickup. If you’re unsure where to sign, call our Title Department for support.
- Clear out your belongings. Remove all personal items and company materials from each vehicle before pickup.
- Remove license plates. In most states, you’ll want to remove your license plates so you can return them to the DMV.
