Here’s what our Delaware donors had to say about how donating went for them.
P.S. we didn’t make these up! They're all real donors, with real experiences.

The pickup and follow through was excellent

By William C., Frederica DE (I donated a 1991 Toyota Camry)

Overall, I am not sure, though in general, the pickup and follow through on the receipt for donation purposes was excellent. I was told that the price my car sold for would be make known to me rather than just taking a maximum 500dollar deduct. . .

I got rid of my car and got a great deduction

By John R., Wilmington DE (I donated a 1998 Toyota Camry)

You guys did great. I got rid of my car and got a great deduction

Very simple operation

By Timmy H., Camden DE (I donated a 2002 Chrysler Sebring)

Made the donation on line. Very simple opertion. The car was pickedup on time and as scheduled. No problems. Driver was very efficient and friendly. Got the receipt on time and am now ready to include donation on my taxes. Very fair good operation. . . .

How big a tax deduction will I get for my car donation in Delaware?

The amount you can claim from the IRS as a tax deduction depends on the category applicable to you:
The IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction of:
a) The value of your vehicle up to $500. It is up to the donor to determine the fair market value.
b) The amount we sell your vehicle for - if it is more than $500.

Kars4kids is a classified 501(c)(3) charity organization. You can check with your tax advisor or accountant to determine the amount of your benefit. The deduction is of value only if the donor itemizes his or her deductions. For a more detailed overview the IRS publishes a Donors Guide to Car Donation.
