Donating a car in Texas has never been easier

Simply choose a nonprofit from our partner list that ‘calls to your heart’. Next, fill out our donor form; within 24 hours one of our friendly customer service representatives will contact you to help you complete your vehicle donation. Of course, you could always try selling your old or unwanted vehicle on your own or take it to one of the many used car lots- but did you know with either of these options you’ll only wind up with only 30-40% of your vehicle’s true value. On the other hand, donating your vehicle to a Texas car donation program will not only provide you with an easy way to give back, but also may provide you with a nice tax benefit. Even better, you might be able to get a write-off for the entire sale price…instead of just a measly percentage. To learn more about DMV procedures for vehicle donation in Texas click here.

If you are ready to donate your car today, but don’t have a nonprofit in mind- we can help! CARS has partnered with a number of charities throughout the Lone Star State. From organizations that assist children and families in need, to animal shelters, educational institutions and public broadcasting, we are confident you’ll find a nonprofit you’ll want to support.

It goes without saying that our team at CARS and partnering nonprofits are both appreciative and thankful for your support!

An added incentive for your vehicle donation

In addition to giving your support to a local Texas nonprofit you may also claim a tax deduction for your generous donation. According to the IRS’ A Donor’s Guide to Vehicle Donations the maximum amount you are able to deduct on your income tax is the fair market value- which is the price a buyer would give you for it. Our goal at CARS is for our donors to receive the highest tax deduction for their vehicle donation. At all our sale locations across the country we evaluate each vehicle, making cost effective minor and/or major repairs to ensure that the maximum amount of money is received for each donation-for our donors this means maximizing the value of your tax deduction!
