Cars, SUVs, minivans, pickups, crossovers, wagons, hybrids, and most other titled passenger vehicles. Foreign or domestic, one owner or five, twenty years old or two. We accept vehicles that don't start, won't pass inspection, have body damage, or have been parked in a driveway since the last time anyone had the paperwork out.
We also accept trucks, motorcycles, RVs and campers, boats, trailers, and tractors — if it's titled and it's yours to give, it's worth a call.
What we need: a title in your name and any lien released. If the title is lost, your state DMV issues duplicates — that's a routine request, not a dead end.
Fill out the donation form with the basics — year, make, model, mileage, whether it runs, and where it's parked. We'll get back to you quickly to confirm the details and set up pickup. Prefer to call? Reach us at 1-888-324-2772.
Once your details are confirmed, pickup is scheduled at your convenience, anywhere in the country, at no cost to you. The vehicle doesn't need to run, doesn't need current tags, and doesn't need to be somewhere convenient. Driveways, back lots, storage yards, and repair shops are all routine.
After the vehicle sells, we send IRS Form 1098-C showing the sale price and date — everything your preparer needs for a vehicle donation deduction. Receipts are issued within 45 days of sale.
We aim to accept most vehicle donations, running or not. The one limit is economics: if towing and processing costs would exceed what the vehicle brings at auction, we may not be able to take it. We'll let you know early, so nobody wastes time.
Pickup is free and nationwide — every state plus the District of Columbia, cities and rural counties alike.
Driveways, apartment garages, storage lots, repair shops, impound yards, and back fields. The vehicle doesn't need to run and doesn't need current tags.
Pickup happens at a time that works for you. You don't need to be present in every case — we'll confirm what your situation requires when we set it up.
Titling rules vary by state, and your state DMV's site is the authority on what your transfer requires. We handle the transfer either way.
Insurance, liability, titles, taxes, and what your car is likely to be worth.
When to cancel coverage, and when your liability actually ends.
Dead engine, failed inspection, or years parked — still accepted.
How the deduction is actually calculated, and what Form 1098-C means.
Lost, never received, or in a deceased owner's name — usually solvable.
Trade-in, private sale, junkyard, or donation — compared honestly.
Every guide, plus contact and organization details.
