Question 2

What Is Required To Donate My Car?

Accepted Answer

We need basic information about your car. Some of what we ask for includes: your contact information, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), year/make/model/color of the vehicle, address of the vehicle, if the car is running or not, and if you have the title in your possession. Your signed title is required at time of pickup, as well as the car key. If you have lost your car title, please call us toll-free at (866) 392-4483 and we can give you instructions on what to do based on your state.

Question 3

Is My Car Donation Tax-Deductible?

Accepted Answer

Our charities are non-profit organizations and a vehicle donation on their behalf is completely tax-deductible for taxpayers that itemize. Individual tax situations may vary so please check with your tax professional. (Please be aware that to qualify for a tax deduction, you must not receive, in exchange, any goods and/or services from the 501 (C)(3) nonprofit organization receiving your car donation.)

Question 4

How Is The Tax Deduction Amount On A Car Donation Determined?

Accepted Answer

The amount of the tax deduction is based on the sale price of your vehicle. Vehicles that sell for over $500 entitle you to a deduction equal to the sale price. If your vehicle sells below $500 you may take the greater amount of either the sale price, or the fair market value of the vehicle (up to a maximum of $500). This means that in most cases, your minimum tax deduction amount will be $500.nnYou should consult your tax professional if you have further questions. (Please be aware that to qualify for a tax deduction, you must not receive, in exchange, any goods and / or services from the 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization receiving your donation.)

Question 5

Can You Estimate What The Sale Price For My Car Will Be?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can give you an estimate, but will need the basic information requested on our donation form. We are upfront and transparent about pricing for your vehicle, and will have a conversation with you prior to assigning the vehicle to be picked up.

Question 6

How Will The Car Be Picked Up?

Accepted Answer

You will be contacted by a licensed and insured towing company. They will arrange for pickup at a mutually acceptable time. We strive for you to be contacted by a tower within 24 hours of the vehicle being assigned.

Question 7

How Should I Prepare For The Vehicle Pick Up?

Accepted Answer

Remove all personal belongings.

Question 8

Are There Restrictions On Where You Will Pick Up?

Accepted Answer

We pick up from almost any location in all 50 states. However, if your vehicle is in a remote location we might not be able to get a buyer for your vehicle, due to the cost of towing from a remote location being higher than the sale’s price of that vehicle. We always exhaust all our vendor resources in trying to assist our customers who live in a remote area.

Question 9

Must A Car Be Operational When I Donate It?

Accepted Answer

No. Vehicles do not have to be running in order to be accepted for donation.

Question 10

What Happens To My Donated Car?

Accepted Answer

Your vehicle will be picked up and sold to either a licensed car dealer or a licensed vehicle recycler.

Question 11

Do You Take Older Cars?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is yes, we do. A car is defined as older if it is more than 10 years old. If you are concerned about what your older car will sell for, please see the question “Can you estimate what the sale price for my car will be?”.

Question 12

Do You Accept Boats And RV’s?

Accepted Answer

Yes we do! However, we suggest the donor either drive them to our Auction Facility, or pay for the tow. Unfortunately, towing these types of vehicles can be cost prohibitive at auction.

Question 13

Shopping Around? Please Do.

Accepted Answer

We are confident that we utilize business practices that are as honest and transparent as any company in this business. Are we perfect? No. But, we are constantly making improvements. If you are shopping around, be sure to ask at least a few questions:nnWhat percentage of the sale of my car will go to the non-profit?nIf a company tells you 100% of the sale’s dollars goes to the non-profit, that person is misinformed. Neither the auction company, nor the tower, volunteer their services.nCan you give me a sales price estimate for my car?nOf course they can!nWhat is that company’s advertising budget?nSome donation companies literally spend millions of dollars on advertising, instead of channeling those funds to nonprofits.nIs the donation company its own nonprofit? If so, why?nMany of these companies are their own nonprofit. You can easily pull up a recent IRS 990 filing to get a better idea of how their vehicle donation money is spent.

Question 14
