Your vehicle has the power to change a local veteran’s life. When you donate to Veteran Car Donations in Port St. Lucie, the proceeds support programs and provide essentials for veterans and their families right here at home.
Veterans from every branch of service, from the Air Force to the Marine Corps, benefit from your donation. Many of them return home facing real challenges, from finding housing to accessing mental health support and job training. Your contribution helps fund the programs that make a lasting difference in their lives.
How Does the Donation Process Work?
Donating your vehicle to Veteran Car Donations in Port St. Lucie is quick and straightforward. Start by calling us at 877-594-5822 or filling out our online donation form. You share a few basic details about your vehicle, and we handle everything from there.
Once we confirm your donation, we schedule a free pickup at a time that works for you. A trusted local towing partner will come to your location and haul away your vehicle at no cost. After your vehicle sells at auction, you receive a tax-deductible receipt by mail.
We accept most vehicles, including those that are not running, but there are some eligibility requirements. We encourage you to check whether your vehicle qualifies before reaching out.
Why Does Your Vehicle Donation Matter?
Donating your vehicle to Veteran Car Donations is one of the most meaningful and simple ways to support local veterans and their families. After you donate your car, we take on the responsibility of selling it and use the proceeds to fund veteran programs in Port St. Lucie.
There are also benefits for you. Finding a new home for an unused vehicle allows you to shed the hassle of repairs, ongoing insurance costs, wasted storage space, and the time-consuming process of finding a buyer. Your donation may also qualify for a tax deduction based on your vehicle’s sale price or fair market value, giving you a financial benefit in return for your generosity. Most importantly, the proceeds go directly toward programs that improve the lives of veterans who have earned every bit of support they receive.

What Types of Vehicles Can You Donate?

While many vehicles qualify, there are some exceptions that may impact eligibility, so the best first step is to share a few basic details with our team. Visit our vehicles accepted page to learn more, or give us a call and we will help you determine whether your vehicle is a good fit.
What Should You Do Before We Pick Up Your Vehicle?
Getting ready for pickup is quick and simple. Start by removing all personal belongings from your vehicle, including items in the trunk, glove compartment, and back seat. If you have your title available, have it ready and accessible.
You do not need to be present for the pickup if that is more convenient for you. Just let us know where to find the vehicle and where to find your keys. Once our towing partner picks up your vehicle, you are no longer responsible for it. You can then cancel your insurance coverage and update your registration accordingly.
