As leaders in the industry with over 14 years’ experience and steadfast commitment to customer service, we’ve designed a donation process every donor will appreciate. We make donating fast, easy and efficient for San Antonians everywhere- whether they have a car, boat, truck, motorcycle or any other type of vehicle they want to gift to charity.

Donate a car today and make a Texas-sized impact in your San Antonio community!


Our partnering non-profits truly appreciate every donation they receive. At CARS, we are always grateful for your support; especially because we realize you could try selling your old vehicle on your own or bring it to the many used car lots in the city. The thing about these two options is they will only get you about 30-40% of what your car is actually worth. That’s why we wholeheartedly believe that donating your unwanted vehicle to a San Antonio non-profit is a much better option because you’ll receive a tax benefit of your car’s true value- not just a paltry percentage. When you are able to write-off the entire sale price at the end of the year, it just means more money in your pocket!

If you are ready to donate your car today, but don’t have a non-profit 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 non-profits 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 non-profit you’ll also get 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!
