We’re proud to offer one of the most flexible and comprehensive vehicle acceptance programs in the nation—because every generous donation is an opportunity to make a real difference in veterans’ lives.

Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about what vehicles we accept, what to expect from the process, and how you can get started today.


We Accept Vehicles Of Nearly Every Type—Case By Case

We Accept Vehicles Of Nearly Every Type—Case By Case

Our program is built on convenience and flexibility. We work hard to accept as many vehicles as possible, regardless of age, condition, or type. However, each donation is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Factors like location, towability, and vehicle value may affect what we’re able to accept at any given time.

While we strive to include a wide variety of vehicles, certain types may be easier to process depending on where you live. For example, some regions are better suited for accepting boats or specialty vehicles. When in doubt, just ask—our experienced donation team is happy to talk through your specific situation and help you find out if your vehicle can be part of our mission for veterans.

Passenger vans, cargo vans, mini-vans in any condition are often gladly received and turn into essential funding.

Motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and pop-up campers—we often accept RVs in a variety of conditions, depending on location.

7. Boats

From small fishing boats and sailboats to larger powerboats and personal watercraft (like Jet Skis), many of our locations can accept watercraft. Acceptance depends on region and accessibility for towing.

8. ATVs, UTVs, Four Wheelers & Snowmobiles

Have off-road vehicles taking up space? Many of these vehicles can be accepted, based on location and assessable condition.

Utility trailers, boat trailers, horse trailers, and cargo trailers can often be donated—even if they need some repairs.

Restoration projects, classics, or antique vehicles may be considered for donation—even if they haven’t run in years!

12. Non-running or Damaged Vehicles

Got a vehicle that’s been wrecked, flooded, or simply doesn’t start anymore? Don’t hesitate to reach out. In many cases, we can still accept it, especially if the frame and towability are intact.


How The Process Works: Case-By-Case Acceptance

How The Process Works: Case-By-Case Acceptance

We know every vehicle and situation is unique. That’s why when you reach out to donate your car or another vehicle to Vehicles For Veterans, our experienced team will ask a few simple questions.

We may inquire about the make, model, year, condition, and where the vehicle is located. Based on those answers—and our ability to pick up and process the vehicle in your area—we’ll let you know right away if we can accept your donation. Our goal is to maximize our impact for veterans by making the process easy and transparent for you.

Some donations, like boats or RVs, may have additional requirements for pickup or location; in those cases, we’ll work with you to find the best possible option.


What If My Vehicle Isn’t Running, Registered, Or Fully Complete?

What If My Vehicle Isn’t Running, Registered, Or Fully Complete?

Don’t worry! We often accept vehicles that don’t run, are missing parts, or haven’t been registered in some time. Salt damage, body rust, or mechanical issues are rarely a deal breaker.

If you’re unsure, just ask us. If we can pick it up and there’s still value to be unlocked for veterans’ programs, we want your donation.
