Donating a car in Texas has never been easier

Our partnering non-profits and the team at CARS are so thankful for your support- especially because we know you could try to sell your old clunker on your own or try trading it in. Yet, donating your car really is the smart decision. Why? Sadly, these other options will only get you about 30-40% of your car’s’ true value. That’s not very much when you think about it. Donating, on the other hand, will allow you a tax benefit for the ‘real’ value of your car- which is a big Texas bonus when you can write it off at the end of the year.

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.Once you’ve chosen a non-profit and are ready to ‘donate my car’ -let CARS show you just how easy it is to give back! Simply fill out the form and one of our friendly representatives will contact you within 24 hours to help you complete your donation.

A Texas-sized incentive for donating your car

Donating your vehicle to a nonprofit or cause you are passionate about is such a benevolent gift; and, in return you are rewarded with a tax deduction for your generosity. According to the IRS’ A Donor’s Guide to Vehicle Donations, the highest amount you can deduct on your income tax is your car’s fair market value- which is actually the price someone would give you for it. Our team at CARS wants you to get the highest deduction possible for your donation. We evaluate each vehicle at our sale locations and when cost effective, will make minor and/or major mechanical repairs. This ensures your vehicle is sold for the maximum amount of money-which ultimately increases your car donation value. This allows you with a terrific deduction at the end of the year!
