Four steps. Zero burden on you.

From the first call to your tax receipt, our coordinators manage every detail — so generosity never feels like an errand.

Submit the make, model, year, and condition in our two-minute form — or call. Any vehicle with a title qualifies, running or not.

Schedule free pickup

We arrange a convenient time with a licensed, insured towing partner — at no cost to you, anywhere in the country.

3

We collect & handle the title

Sign one simple release form. We take care of the title transfer and DMV notification — no complicated paperwork on your end.

Receive your tax receipt

Once your vehicle is processed, your IRS-compliant donation receipt arrives by mail and email — ready for filing time.

I had an old truck sitting dead in my driveway for two years. One call, they towed it for free, and a few weeks later my tax receipt showed up in the mail. It couldn't have been easier — and it actually helped someone.
