What to Expect When Donating Vehicles

Goodwill accepts donations of cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, and boats, which are then resold
at auction to fund our programs and services for people with disabilities and other disadvantages. 

Donate your car in 3 easy steps:

1. Fill out the online vehicle donation form or call our 24/7 Goodwill Car Donations Phone Line at (866) 492-2770.

2. We arrange a time within 24 - 48 hours to pick up your vehicle at your convenience. Towing is always free.

3. We send you your tax deduction information in the mail.

How to Donate Your Car

To donate to Goodwill, your vehicle must be titled in your name and completely paid, although we will accept vehicles with proper lien releases from financial institutions. Title questions or concerns? Give us a call at (866) 492-2770 and we'd be happy to help answer any questions you may have.

Donating a vehicle to Goodwill is a donor-friendly process. You can either drop it off during regular operating hours, fill out our online donation form, or contact our customer service department at (866) 492-2770 to have your vehicle towed free of charge. Goodwill offers fast and free pick up. Please remember to remove your license plates and all personal items from the vehicle before it is donated. Finally, when donating your vehicle, please make sure to have your vehicle title with you. 

You will receive a donation receipt at the time of donation. Please take a copy of the donation receipt, your license plates, and vehicle registration to the Department of Motor Vehicles to de-register the car as soon as possible. Once the vehicle is de-registered, contact your insurance company to cancel coverage (they also may want a copy of the donation receipt). You will also need your documentation to claim your donation as a charitable contribution on your federal income taxes.
