3 Easy Steps

How to donate a car

No extra paperwork. No headache. No cost.
Our experienced team takes care of everything for you, from towing to ownership transfer. You just have to wave goodbye.
  1. 1

    Tell us about your car

    It takes 2 minutes to donate online or by calling . We’ll take some basic info about your car, including the year, make, model and condition. We can accept almost any vehicle regardless of condition, usually even if you don’t have the ownership documents.

  2. 2

    Schedule a pickup time

    Our local towing company will be in touch within 24 hours to schedule a convenient pickup time. Your car can be picked up as soon as that or the next day. You don’t have to be there for pickup – just leave the keys and signed ownership documents, if you have it, in the car. You’ll receive a temporary receipt as confirmation of pickup.

  3. 3

    Tax credit

    We get to work right away and issue you a receipt for the fair market value of your vehicle, as determined by wholesale auction averages. You will receive the receipt approximately 4 weeks after we pick up your car.
