Are you planning to get rid of a rusty old car that’s been with you for ages? Do you think it’s time to let go of it once and for all? Go ahead and donate it to a reputable nonprofit organization that offers a car donation program and champions a cause that is close to your heart.
By doing so, you’ll give the beneficiaries of that nonprofit plenty of reasons to be grateful for. At the same time, you’ll also reap multiple benefits. To give you an idea of what we’re talking about, here are our top 5 reasons to donate your car:
- No need to spend a single dime.
Most, if not all, charitable vehicle donation programs offer free towing service. As such, you no longer need to trouble yourself looking for a reliable licensed towing company. You also need not worry anymore about paying for the towing service. All you have to do is call the charity and make your vehicle donation offer. They’ll be the one to arrange for the free towing of your vehicle.
- Avoid the hassles associated with selling a vehicle yourself.
An old vehicle can be a tough one to sell, especially if some parts need replacements. Apart from spending huge bucks to improve its appearance, you’ll also need to deal with pesky prospective buyers and expose yourself to potential privacy concerns since you’ll have to advertise your contact details. By choosing to simply donate your vehicle to a trusted charity, you need not go through any of these nuisances.
- You get to save a lot of cash.
After donating your unwanted car, you don’t have to worry anymore about paying for its repairs, maintenance, registration, and insurance. Finally, you can free yourself from the financial burden of owning a clunker.
- Enjoy a top tax deduction.
To get tax deductions from your own donation, be sure to pick a charity with a certified 501(c)3 status. Consult with a tax professional or contact your local IRS office for more information on tax deductible car donations.
- Transform the lives of needy people.
Perhaps the best thing about donating an old automobile is the sense of fulfillment you’ll get from it. Knowing that your good deed will impact the lives of less fortunate people truly means a lot.
Touch the Lives of Our Veterans Today

If you knew the dangers and sacrifices that our veterans went through to be able to defend our liberties and protect our nation’s security, how could you not show them some kindness and generosity especially now that many of them are facing hard times?
Whatever we can give them won’t be much compared to the invaluable service they’ve done for our country. But you can at least show them that you care for them by donating to us your old and unwanted vehicle for their benefit.
Veteran Car Donations will sell your donated vehicle via auction and use the proceeds to support our nonprofit partners in providing them with numerous benefits including mortgage-free and specially adapted homes, free physical and mental health care services, educational scholarships, career development, and employment opportunities among others.
