Give Your Unwanted Vehicle a New Purpose in Aurora Today
An unwanted vehicle can keep costing you money long after you stop using it. Registration and insurance bills still arrive. Repairs may cost more than you want to spend. Donating gives you a way to let it go without finding a buyer or paying to have it towed away. You can also avoid sharing your contact details with strangers who respond to a private sale listing.
We sell donated vehicles at auction. The money helps fund programs and services offered by military and veteran nonprofit groups. You don’t have to sell the vehicle yourself or handle the auction. We arrange the pickup and send your tax receipt after the sale. Your part starts with a form or phone call.
Can You Donate a Vehicle That Has Not Run in Several Years?
Yes, we accept most vehicles, including those that run well and those that haven’t run in years. You’ll need to contact us to find out if yours qualifies. Tell us what you have and what shape it’s in. There’s no need to assume an old vehicle won’t be accepted.
Our accepted types include cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, RVs, campers, trailers, snowmobiles, golf carts, riding lawnmowers, fleet vehicles, airplanes, and farm equipment. Have more than one to donate? There’s no limit to how many vehicles you can give at once. Just let us know about each one when you reach out to begin your donation.
How Do You Start Your Vehicle Donation Without the Hassle?
Fill out our quick, secure online form or call 877-594-5822. We’ll ask for your contact details, the vehicle’s make and model, and its current location. Those details let us begin arranging pickup. You won’t need to find a towing company on your own. We work with local companies to handle that part.
We accept donations throughout Colorado and all 50 U.S. states. Check our vehicles accepted page or learn more about us and how donated vehicles support military and veteran nonprofits. If something is unclear, ask. We’re here to answer your questions, whether you’re ready to donate or still working out what to do with your vehicle.
How Will We Pick Up Your Vehicle at No Extra Cost to You?
Maybe your vehicle broke down on Interstate 70, Interstate 225, or E-470, and you’ve decided you’re done paying for repairs. Tell us where it is now. We can arrange pickup from your home or another location, so you don’t have to move it home first. Our towing service is always free.
Pickup usually takes place within 24 to 48 hours. We’ll work with you to set a date and time that fits your schedule. Need it sooner? Ask about special arrangements for faster service. You don’t have to be there when the tow truck arrives. Our frequently asked questions cover pickup and other donation details.
What Happens if You Have Questions About Your Vehicle Title?
A missing title doesn’t have to leave you guessing about your next step. Call our Title Department for help. We can also discuss titles in a deceased person’s name, name changes, and titles that list more than one person. Tell us what’s going on so we can help with your situation.
Our team can explain title transfers, license plate rules, and state requirements for notifying the DMV. Ask us before you make changes to your paperwork. You’ll receive a tow receipt at pickup, too. Keep that receipt with your donation records, and let us know if you have questions about any documents. You do not have to figure out those state rules alone before calling us for help at any time.
How Does Your Donated Vehicle Affect Your Tax Deduction?
After pickup, your vehicle goes to auction. We’ll mail your official tax receipt within 30 days of the sale. That timing starts with the sale, not the day the tow truck comes. Keep the letter for tax time so you have the donation details when you prepare your return.
You may claim a tax deduction if you itemize. Your letter will explain the maximum deduction based on the auction sale or fair market value. The amount you can claim depends on your situation, so speak with your tax professional. Donating also lets you stop carrying the ongoing costs of a vehicle you no longer need.
