Donate Your Car This Memorial Day With Vehicles For Veterans

If you have been putting off donating that unwanted vehicle, Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to act. Vehicles For Veterans makes car donation fast, free, and completely hassle-free — and every donated vehicle generates real funding for American veterans charity programs across the country.

Whether your car is sitting in the driveway barely running or taking up garage space you could actually use, donating it takes minutes to start and costs you nothing. Call 1-855-811-4838 or fill out our vehicle donation form right now and get the process started today.

Why Memorial Day Is A Great Time To Donate Your Vehicle

The long Memorial Day weekend gives most people a rare window of time to take care of things they have been putting off. Cleaning out the garage. Finally dealing with that second car. Deciding what to do with a vehicle that has been sitting untouched for months.

Donating your car to Vehicles For Veterans is one of the most productive things you can do with that time. The process starts with a single phone call or a quick online form. From there, we schedule free pickup at your convenience — often within 24 hours of the next business day. You do not need to wash it, repair it, or even make sure it runs. We tow most vehicles in most conditions, and the entire process is designed to take as little of your time as possible.

How Car Donation To Vehicles For Veterans Works

Donating your vehicle is straightforward from start to finish.

Step one: Call 1-855-811-4838 or complete our online vehicle donation form. Our knowledgeable representatives are available any time to answer questions and get your donation scheduled.

Step two: We arrange free towing pickup at a time that works for you — anywhere in the country, at no cost.

Step three: After your vehicle sells, we mail your tax-deductible receipt reflecting the final sale value. Keep it for tax time.

That is genuinely all it takes. No fees, no paperwork headaches, no towing bills.

What Your Vehicle Donation Supports

Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Vehicles For Veterans has donated over $200 million to worthy charities since 2010. Your vehicle donation generates flexible funding for American veterans charity programs — organizations providing housing assistance, mental health support, adaptive equipment, service dogs, and community resources to veterans and their families across the country.

This Memorial Day, your donated vehicle becomes direct support for the programs that serve the men and women who served all of us. That is a meaningful use of an unwanted car by any measure.

We Accept Most Vehicles For Donation

You do not need a pristine vehicle to make a worthwhile donation. Vehicles For Veterans accepts most vehicles in most conditions on a case-by-case basis, including:

  • Cars and trucks
  • SUVs and vans
  • Motorcycles
  • Boats and watercraft
  • RVs and motorhomes
  • Trailers and campers
  • And more

If you are unsure whether we can accept your vehicle, call 1-855-811-4838 and our team will let you know quickly. Older vehicles, high-mileage vehicles, and vehicles that are no longer running are often accepted — and even a vehicle that has seen better days can generate meaningful auction or recycling proceeds.

Your Car Donation Tax Deduction

If the sales price of your donated vehicle is less than $500, you can deduct $500 or your car’s fair market value, whichever is less.

If the sales price of your donated vehicle is greater than $500, you can deduct the sales price of the vehicle or the fair market value, whichever is less.
