That old vehicle sitting in your driveway could do more than take up space. It could help provide meaningful support for veterans in Hilton Head and nearby communities. When you donate through Veteran Car Donations, your vehicle helps generate funding for programs that assist veterans and their families with everyday needs, from housing and transportation to medical care and other essential services.
The best part is how easy it is. There’s no need to spend weekends creating listings, negotiating with buyers, or dealing with paperwork. Just reach out to us, and we’ll take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most.
Whether your vehicle runs perfectly, needs repairs, or hasn’t left the driveway in years, it can still be put to good use. A single donation can help fund programs that provide valuable services for veterans and their families.
How Does the Donation Process Work?
Donating your vehicle is quick and straightforward. Start by calling Veteran Car Donations or completing our online donation form. We’ll collect some basic information about your vehicle to determine eligibility. We’ll also answer any questions you may have.
If your vehicle is eligible for donation, we’ll schedule a free pickup at a convenient time. Our towing partners will pick up your vehicle and transport it at no cost to you.
After pickup, we sell the vehicle on your behalf and send the proceeds to programs that support veterans. You’ll also receive the documentation you need to claim your tax deduction.
We accept most vehicles, including some that no longer run. But not all of them qualify. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.

What to Do Before We Pick Up Your Vehicle
Preparing your vehicle for pickup is easier than you might think. All you need to do is remove your belongings from the vehicle and gather any available paperwork, including the title.
You don’t have to worry about transportation arrangements. We provide pickup and towing services for free. And you don’t even have to be present for the appointment.
After your vehicle is picked up, you’re no longer responsible for it. The pickup driver will leave a document that you can use to cancel your auto insurance and registration.
