How to Donate a Car in California : Charity Car Donation Made Easy

There are about 19.5 million veterans in the United States as of the latest estimate (2016 U.S. Census’ American Community Survey). Although the number has gone down from nearly 22 million in 2010, the public funds allocated for their assistance by the government is still not enough.

They accept almost all car donations. They also accept donated trucks, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, trailers and recreational vehicles. Boats and planes may require a call to see if they meet minimum criteria.

Your vehicle does not have to be running, but it must be whole and have four inflated tires so it can be moved by our towing operators. You will be asked to explain the condition of the vehicle. In rare cases, we are unable to accept a vehicle donation when the costs of transport and processing fees exceed the auction value of the vehicle.
