Car Donations Made Easy!

Car donations have traditionally been a cumbersome process for nonprofits and donors due to the complexity of towing cars, selling them at auction, and providing the donor and nonprofit with proper DMV and IRS support throughout the process. However, with the advancement of technology, donating your car to charity has never been easier!

At CARS, our secret sauce for efficient processing is technology and service! Our NAV database technology is an innovative platform that simplifies the entire donation process and makes it more convenient for donors and nonprofits alike. Now, anyone can easily donate their vehicle entirely online in just a few simple steps without ever having to speak with a representative (unless they prefer to work with a donor support representative).

Our secure and user-friendly system ensures that all donated vehicles are handled quickly and efficiently while ensuring maximum impact for the charitable cause of their choice. By leveraging technology to make car donations easy, we can help charities raise much-needed funds while providing donors with a hassle-free way to support their favorite causes.

Car Donation Wizardry

It might seem like magic, wizardry, or sorcery, but really it's just a lot of data! After four years of development, our in-house NAV database system is responsible for routing and supporting over 100,000 car donations and donors each year. Our system evaluates each donated vehicle compared to our database of over 1 million vehicle donations and finds the right buyer for that specific vehicle. Our car donation algorithm calculates several factors, including service standards, sales prices, and the timeliness of the sale.

If the donor has all the required car donation information and fills out the online donation form in its entirety, then the vehicle is evaluated and bids are requested from all viable auto auction vendors. This means that we can schedule and pick up a donor's car faster, while also maximizing the vehicle's value and the donor's tax write-off.

In addition to a fast and seamless process, our NAV database and car donation wizardry is the most secure and comprehensive platform in the industry. We ensure the professional and secure handling of donor's and nonprofit's information throughout the entire process.


Higher Car Donation Sale Prices

Did you know that CARS donated vehicles are sold for 13% or $96 more than other providers? That's right! Our car donation wizardry gets your nonprofit more money for your vehicle donation! Our NAV technology was designed to ensure each donor and nonprofit gets the best sale prices for their donated cars, through careful evaluation, bid requests, and auto remarketing. We issue bid requests and counter bids seamlessly through the NAV system, so you know each donation's value is maximized.

What Is Auto Remarketing?

Auto remarketing is the process of reselling a vehicle that has been donated to charity or acquired through other means. It involves evaluating the condition of the vehicle, marketing it to potential buyers, and negotiating sales terms. The goal of auto remarketing is to find the right buyer and the best price for each vehicle.

The auto remarketing process is complex and tedious, but our comprehensive technology and sustems makes it effortless and efficient! We have the technology and expertise to ensure that each donated vehicle gets the highest sale price possible, maximizing your charity's return on investment and the donor's tax benefit.

Our NAV system uses advanced remarketing data and technology to ensure that each donated vehicle gets the best sale price. We work with over 400 auto auction vendors in order to maximize the donor's tax benefit. We also handle all aspects of auto remarketing in-house, so our nonprofit partners don't need to worry about the added costs of outsourcing.

Some groups outsource their auto remarketing services, which is an added cost to the program. Our in-house team of specialists handles auto remarketing services for over 8,000 nonprofits and over 100,000 donated vehicles each year. With over 20 years of experience, our advanced remarketing programs are known for getting the best prices for our charities and their donors!

Why Choose A reputable Car Donation Program

Not all car donation programs are the same. Some programs are tied to a single reseller and send all their donated vehicles to a single buyer. Other programs outsource their entire vehicle donation operations to another organization or auto remarketing services. One of the most important aspects of a car donation program is donor support. There are many things that could go wrong with DMV car title transfers, IRS paperwork, or insurance releases for vehicles. These are not easy agencies to deal with, but at CARS, you have support with any issue which may arise, 7 days a week.

So what are you waiting for? Simply choose your favorite nonprofit and rest assured that we'll do the rest!
