We accept all types of vehicles donations!
You can donate a car, truck, boat, motorcycle, RVs, & more!
You may be thinking that your vehicle to donate is a little rough or perhaps is simply a “junk car,” but to these outstanding partner charities your generous junk car donation can be a life changing contribution.
To get started, simply review the partners recommended, and select the car donation charity who’s mission and program purpose best fits your criteria. Then fill out our fast and easy vehicle donation form or call to talk directly with one of our expert customer service team members.
By supporting only qualified nonprofit charitable organizations who will use the proceeds when you generously donate a car properly. You can rest assured the proceeds will go to making the biggest difference to those in need and you will get the maximum tax benefit when donating a car.
We have vetted our partners to make sure every dollar raised is actually going to its intended cause.
Unfortunately, in the car donation space, there are so many organizations that claim to donate to charity and don’t even contribute 50% of the net proceeds.
DonateACar carefully reviews each partner and their program to ensure your car donation is benefiting those in need. Visit our donation tips, FAQ, or Comparisons Charts for more information and resources.
LET’S DO MORE THAN JUST MAKE A CAR DONATION… MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE’S LIFE TODAY!
In most cases we will need the title to the vehicle, but each state has its own requirements. Check out our vehicle donation title FAQ for more information. Even if you do not have title papers, call us anyway; other arrangements can be worked out in most cases.
We appreciate your car donation, and we want to help make that possible for you. If you have any other questions, you can look at our car donation FAQ. Our representatives are standing by on the phone, ready to help you identify any paperwork you need to donate your vehicle.
We will tell you what is required in your state. Most states do require that you have a clear title to the vehicle to be able to donate. If you have other questions you can go to our vehicle donation title FAQ to get your vehicle title questions answered.
On the day we receive your vehicle, our insurance provides coverage. We will handle all transfer documents according to your local state Department of Vehicle Services guidelines, and provide you with receipts and information for your tax deduction.
Yes, we will pick up the vehicle running or not for free, from a location that is convenient for you. If you fill out our online donation form we will call you the same or next business day to schedule your vehicle pick-up.

We accept most cars, trucks, vans, fleet vehicles, trailers, boats, motorcycles, and RVs, subject to approval. We have representatives standing by to answer any question you might have such as: “what you can donate?” and “what condition of cars are accepted?”
Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles whether they run or not. Even if your car hasn’t run for years, you can donate it to charity.
Donating your car that doesn’t run versus trying to sell it is typically less stressful and more beneficial. You will still receive free vehicle pick-up when you donate a car that no longer runs. In most cases, non-running cars are recycled. Regardless of whether your car runs or not, the proceeds from its sale benefit your selected charity.
Yes, vehicles donated to registered nonprofit organizations are tax deductible. Because we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your car donation is completely tax deductible. After we receive your car donation, we will mail you a receipt that states your tax deduction amount.
In general, if the car you donate sells for less than $500, you can claim the fair market value of your vehicle up to $500. If your donated vehicle sells for more than $500, you will be able to claim the exact amount for which your car sold. Learn more about how the IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction for your car donation on our IRS Tax Information page.
