Please be ready to provide your vehicle’s year, make, model or vehicle identification number (VIN) and current mileage. The vehicle does not have to be running, but you will need to describe the condition of the vehicle and disclose any structural damage.

Yes, non-running vehicles can also assist those in need.

After completing the form a confirmation email will be sent to you once you select “Submit Now.” You will print, send, and sign a copy of the confirmation email/odometer statement and send it with the signed vehicle title and any other pertinent documentation as required by your state to the Processing Center and once we receive your paperwork we will start the vehicle donation pick up process. Your vehicle automatically qualifies for the Rush program and we will immediately coordinate the pickup/drop off of your vehicle. Our average pick up time is 1-2 business days from the date of assignment. After your vehicle is sold you will receive a receipt by mail for tax purposes. Please contact us at 800-322-8284 if you have any questions or special needs during the donation process.

Auto-Donation.com employs an exclusive process called Best Venue to ensure that each donated vehicle generates the maximum donation for the charity. Most vehicles are sold at live auctions to licensed dealers, recyclers and exporters from around the world. This competitive marketplace of buyers generates the greatest return for the charity while ensuring that your vehicle is sold in an efficient, environmentally friendly and legally compliant manner.

The guidance of the rating agencies concerns programs where the charity receives a flat fee for the use of their name by a third party, versus program management by a third party. There are some questionable companies who contract to use a nonprofit’s agencies name and logo to raise funds and then just give them a flat fee unrelated to income or performance. This is frowned upon by rating agencies and the government. However, a percentage return program is viewed positively if the nonprofit receives more than 50% of the generated income. The SVdP NVDP vendor’s performance in this area is exemplary, with 70-80% on average being returned to the nonprofit; and is one of the nation’s most trusted and respected vehicle donation firms.

You will receive a tax receipt within 45 days after your vehicle gets picked up.

You can deduct the value of your vehicle only if you itemize deductions when filing your taxes. Under the current IRS law, you may only deduct the ACTUAL sale price of your vehicle or $499 which ever is greater. A receipt indicating the sale price and date will be sent to you within 30 days from the date of pick up.
