Car Donation - Donate a Car to Your Charity of Choice

Donating a car (or more than one) is an excellent way to get rid of old vehicles you don’t want. The biggest problem most people face when buying a new vehicle: what to do with the old one. There are 3 basic options. You can trade it in. This usually always means you get less than what it’s worth.

You can sell it, which means dealing with a lot of inconvenience. Many people are just not in a position to to fix the vehicle themselves. There’s the Department of Motor Vehicles paperwork. In some states, you have to get a smog inspection. And then there’s all the time and effort in trying to sell it. You buy advertising in the paper. You wait for the phone to ring. You wait for people to come over and decide whether to buy. You haggle with them over the price.

However, there’s the third option: donating your vehicle. This means getting an itemized tax deduction for its full, true value and helping a favorite cause. And now, with Charitable Auto Resources, vehicle donation just became faster and easier.

No wonder many people who would never consider donating hundreds of dollars in cash to a charity gladly turn over the title of their auto to us, saving themselves the hassle and expense of selling it on their own.

There’s no hassle with a dealer over the trade-in value. You’re entitled to a tax deduction. You can feel great about helping a worthy cause. And, give us a call to arrange towing your automobile at no charge. These are just some of the many reasons why people give their vehicle to us.

Making a vehicle donation (including just about any motor vehicle: trucks, sport utility vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, boats, airplanes, go carts, scooters, mopeds, golf carts, dune buggies, forklifts, trailers, snow mobiles, and more) makes a positive difference to donor and charity alike. With Charitable Auto Resources, you choose which cause to benefit. Your charity helps these organizations substantially increase their contributions to the public good. And many of them depend on this type of giving to keep going. Donate a car to charity – it’s the right thing to do.

You’re probably not surprised to find that people don’t always unload junk when they make an automobile donation. Not only do they donate used cars, but some even make a new car donation. All makes of automobiles are good candidates when you donate cars to charity - even luxury autos, like BMWs. In fact, we’ve processed hundreds of luxury vehicles - including Rolls Royce, BMW, Mercedes, and Cadillac - from people like yourself who want to make a charitable car donation. (Even if you want to donate used car parts of higher value, we appreciate the gesture. We’d like to help you donate these automobile parts. Please check with us by phone to make this easier for you.)

Our experienced staff will guide you through each step of the process, making sure you get a high value for your vehicle. See our New or Used Car Donation section to learn more about how to donate your vehicle (or use our vehicle donation form below).
