William C.
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. . .

John R.
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

Timmy H.
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 your car helps

Our charity programs are the essence of what we do. We are thankful to be able to give back to many local communities across North America and to bring educational opportunities to so many children, with the help of our sister charity Oorah. We're a registered nonprofit Jewish organization. Learn about what we do and see our charity programs here.

Kars4kids Mentor Program
The Kars4Kids Vision

Kars4Kids‘ vision is to give our children the ability to succeed in life. We focus on educational, mentorship and year-round programs for our children, their families and their communities, looking at the big picture of our children‘s development and the environment they grow up in. We rely on thousands of volunteers to help us change the world, one child at a time.

Packages for the Holidays

Our volunteers have a great time assembling fun-filled holiday packages that are sent to thousands of Kars4Kids families, making the holiday season a joyous one for them and their children. Edible goodies and other delights await in the beautiful packages that they find on their doorsteps.

Weekend Retreats

Throughout the year, we hold several weekend retreats for the children in our programs. It's an opportunity for them to get together with friends in a warm, upbeat atmosphere. They come back from the exciting weekend in the country refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to throw themselves back into their studies.

Still have questions?

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.

We accept the following donations: car, snow plow, boat, bus, jet ski, truck, RV (motor home), commercial, airplane, van, trailer, motorcycle, ATV, tractor, and fleet donations. Sorry no kids.

We can usually pick up a vehicle without a title in Delaware . We just need the registered owner to sign some paperwork for us.

In the following counties you may not need to sign any paperwork at all. Just provide a proof of ownership (such as copy of registration or insurance card): Kent, New Castle, Sussex

In almost all scenarios Kars4kids will apply for the new title for you. We'll handle all the paperwork and pay the title fees too.
If you'd prefer you may apply for a new title on your own. Here's how:
A MV213 Form must be completed, please include the tag number and expiration of tag.

Applications for a duplicate title can be made in person at your local DMV office or you can submit all documentation and fees, in certified form, by mail to:

State of Delaware
Division of Motor Vehicles
P.O. Box 698
Dover, DE 19903
