Give My Car to Charity is a for profit organization that helps raise money for charities through the sale of donated vehicles. Their sole mission is to raise support for 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations nationwide, primarily through the solicitation of donated vehicles.

3. What kind of vehicle donations do you accept?

We accept ANY car in ANY condition! We accept all types of vehicles, from cars and trucks to fleet vehicles, boats, vans, motorcycles, trailers, RV's, and even snowmobiles. Basically, if it has an engine we’ll take it (even if it no longer runs!) Yes, we’ll push, pull or drag it in! Your chosen charity will benefit from the donation, regardless of the condition.

4. Do I have to pay any charges, like for the towing?

No! There is zero expense on your part.

5. How do I know if you tow vehicles from my area?

We service all 50 states with very few restrictions.

6. Who will pick up my car?

We have a network of towing agencies throughout the United States. You will be contacted to arrange a pick up time that is convenient for you, free of charge.

7. How long will it take to pick up my car?

The average pick up time is between 24 and 72 hours after your initial contact with us.

8. When do I receive my tax receipt, and what is my deductible amount?

If the sale value exceeds $500, we provide you with a form 1098-C no later than 30 days after the sale of the vehicle, verifying the exact amount you can deduct from your taxes. If the value doesn't exceed $500 then we send you a Vehicle Donation Confirmation indicating "$500 or less" in value. In this case you, the donor, is able to deduct $500 from their taxes.

9. What happens if there is a problem with the vehicle after it is donated?

You are liable for all previous charges and fines for the vehicle. After we have it in tow we take full responsibility.

10. Will my car be crushed or used for parts?

It depends on the condition of the vehicle. Every car is assessed shortly after intake and sent to the location where it will retrieve maximum value so the charity receives more proceeds and you, the donor, get a bigger tax deduction.

11. Do I have to be home when you pick up my car?

No! After the car is cleaned of any personal belongings and you have removed the license plates, just leave the keys and title in the glove box and our tow driver will pick it up during the assigned window of time.

12. Will I get a temporary receipt at the time of pick up?

Not unless requested. We will send you a Vehicle Donation Receipt within 2 weeks after our tow driver has picked up your vehicle.

13. What do I need to know about signing my title?

Before signing the title, your live operator is waiting to assist you with all in-state and out-of-state titles. The live operator will have you MAKE CERTAIN to print and sign your name EXACTLY the way it appears on the face of the title as the SELLER (the place and verbiage to sign as seller frequently varies and that’s why we are trained to help keep you from voiding the title).

14. What if I don't have a title for my vehicle?

We can pick up a vehicle without a title in Colorado. Just give us a call in the Denver area at 303-423-2277, or Nationwide toll free 866-701-2277, to see if we can pick up your vehicle. You can also provide us with this Bill of Sale and the registration to the vehicle. Understand that the vehicle is then subject to being parted out and crushed. We require a title in all other states.

15. Can I donate a vehicle that belongs to a person who has died?

In most cases a copy of the Death Certificate and a Personal Representative Form or Power of Attorney showing that you are the official representative of the deceased’s belongings will work.

16. Can I donate an abandoned car?

Unfortunately we cannot accept abandoned vehicles. Try contacting a local junkyard for information.

17. What if the car doesn't pass Emissions?

We’ll take it! We take ANY car in ANY condition.

18. What should I do with my license plates after I donate my car?

Remove them prior to the tow. Then you can either cancel them with the DMV or reissue them to another car or destroy them.

19. Why should I donate my vehicle?

It is an easy, hassle-free way to get rid of your unwanted/unneeded vehicle.

It is easier than costly auto repairs, and helps to un clutter your life and your driveway.

It is a great way to help fund the missions of charities you support.
