That vehicle you no longer use can become something far more valuable than extra clutter in your garage or driveway. One simple decision can create lasting benefits throughout your community: donating it to Veteran Car Donations.
Instead of wondering what to do with an aging vehicle, you can turn it into meaningful help for the people who served our country. By donating it through our Goodyear vehicle donation program, you help generate funding for our nonprofit partners that provide veterans with food, housing assistance and other essential support.
You do not have to deal with selling the vehicle yourself or spend time coordinating every detail. We take care of the process from beginning to end, including scheduling complimentary towing and handling the necessary paperwork. Your donation supports veterans from every branch of the military while giving you an easy way to remove a vehicle you no longer need.
How Does the Donation Process Work?
Get started by reaching out. Call 877-594-5822 or complete our online donation form.
After you provide a few basic details about your vehicle, our team will review the information and walk you through the remaining steps.
Once everything has been confirmed, we will schedule a free pickup at a time that works for you. A licensed towing company will collect the vehicle, and you will not have to arrange transportation or find a buyer yourself. Your donated vehicle is then sold on your behalf, with the proceeds helping fund programs that benefit veterans and their families.
Most vehicles are accepted, including many that no longer run, although it is always best to contact us first to confirm eligibility.
Why Is Donating Your Vehicle Worthwhile?
A vehicle donation is one of the simplest ways to support veterans while also solving the problem of an unwanted vehicle. Our program helps you remove it from your property without the stress of listing it for sale or negotiating with buyers.
Your donation may also qualify for a tax deduction depending on your individual tax situation. More importantly, the proceeds help provide funding for programs that assist veterans with housing, health care, employment services, counseling other resources that improve everyday life after military service.
What Types of Vehicles Can You Donate?
Many people are surprised to learn how many vehicles may qualify for donation. Whether your vehicle is running well or has been sitting unused for years, it may still be accepted. Eligibility varies, so we encourage you to contact us with a few details before scheduling your pickup.
Examples of vehicles commonly accepted include:
- Cars
- Trucks
- SUVs
- Vans and minivans
- Motorcycles
- Boats and personal watercraft
- RVs and motorhomes
- Riding lawn mowers
- And many other vehicle types
If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, simply give us a call. Our team will gladly answer your questions before you move forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re unsure if vehicle donation is right for you, view some of our frequent inquiries below and on our FAQ page.
How Does Pickup Work?
After your donation has been approved, we will arrange complimentary towing at a time that fits your schedule. A licensed towing company will pick up your vehicle from your home or another agreed location.
How Does the Tax Deduction Work?
Many donated vehicles may qualify for a tax deduction. The amount generally depends on the vehicle’s sale price or, in certain situations, its fair market value according to current tax guidelines. After your vehicle has been processed, you will receive the documentation needed for your records.
What If I Do Not Have My Title?
Requirements vary depending on your location and individual circumstances, and not having your title does not always prevent you from donating your vehicle. Contact our team before your scheduled pickup, and we can explain the options that may be available in your situation.
What Should You Do Before Pickup?
Remove any personal belongings from inside the vehicle and gather your title or other ownership paperwork if you have it available. Depending on your circumstances, you may not even need to be present when the vehicle is picked up if everything has been coordinated ahead of time. Once the transfer is complete, you are no longer responsible for the vehicle.
How Else Can You Help Veterans in Your Community?
If you would like to support veterans beyond donating a vehicle, consider reaching out to the City of Goodyear Veterans Support, the Maricopa County Veterans Resources Portal or the Maricopa County Human Services Department to ask about volunteer opportunities. These organizations regularly connect veterans with housing assistance, employment services, community resources and other forms of support, making them excellent places to learn where volunteers can make the greatest difference.
Do You Want to Make a Difference?
You and your unwanted vehicle can be a valuable source of support for veterans throughout the Goodyear area. Put it toward programs that provide life-changing services for those who have served.
