Yes, your donation of a junk car to charity (in this case, Kars4Kids) is tax deductible. While higher-value vehicle donations typically see the biggest tax benefit, the IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value of your vehicle, up to $500. We’ll send you the receipt required to claim a deduction.
Here’s how the tax deduction works
Pickups happen within 24–48 hours, sometimes even the same day. We’ll work around your schedule to make it easy for you to donate your junk car, and you don’t even need to be there when we pick it up..

What is a junk car?
A “junk car” doesn’t have to be completely totaled. A junk car might still look okay on the outside, but is no longer safe, reliable, or practical to drive.
- Even if your car doesn’t start by itself every time
- Even if your car is unreliable and may break down on the highway
- Even if your car has been wrecked or severely damaged in an accident
- Even if your car’s repairs cost more than the car’s value
- Even if your car’s been sitting unused and has layers of rust
- Even if your car has a lost or missing title
...we can still take it!
Is my car worth donating?
Your car’s ceiling is held up with push pins and it sounds like a bulldozer when you start the motor, but it’s still worth donating. At Kars4Kids, we take the cars people no longer want and turn them into real help for kids who need it most. Maybe your kids were embarrassed you even owned such a noisy piece of metal, but we’re proud to take it. No matter the condition, we want your “junk.”
- Donate a non-working car that hasn’t run in years

- Donate a junk car to charity, no matter the condition
It may be junk to you, but to us, it’s a way to help kids become great.

Benefits of donating a junk car to charity
Convenient.
You don’t have to fix your car, figure out how to transfer it, or even be there when we pick it up. Once we approve your car for donation, we take care of everything for you.
Fast.
You can schedule a pickup any time, and we’ll tow your car within 24 to 48 hours. No waiting, no stress just quick results.
Free.
Towing doesn’t cost you a thing. Instead of paying a towing company to take your car, Kars4Kids picks it up from wherever for free.
Protect the enironment.
By reusing and recycling car materials, you're helping the environment. Instead of sending your car to a landfill, we transfer the parts and materials to be reused and recycled in responsible ways.
Proud donors. Powerful impact.
From coast to coast, donors keep choosing Kars4Kids because we make it easy to do good. Whether you want to donate your junk car to help others in need or you just need the hassle off your hands, we’re ready to step in.
