You live in New Braunfels, and you have the power to turn a vehicle you no longer need into real support for veterans. When you donate your car to Veteran Car Donations, you help make sure our nation’s heroes get the care, respect, and support they deserve. Your donation helps veterans and their families find food, shelter, medical care, and hope. You take action where help is needed most. You give with confidence, knowing your vehicle fuels programs that truly change lives. This is a simple way for you to stand up for those who once stood up for all of us.
Veteran Car Donations exists to serve veterans beyond basic help. Your donated vehicle helps fund training, life skills, and services that empower veterans to move forward with strength and dignity. You become part of a trusted mission that reaches farther than government support alone. Your generosity helps veterans rebuild, reconnect, and regain stability. From New Braunfels to communities nationwide, your vehicle creates impact that lasts. You don’t just donate a car. You deliver opportunity, dignity, and a clear message that our veterans are valued, remembered, and never forgotten.
How Does the Donation Process Work?
Making a vehicle donation for a tax deduction is simple. Veteran Car Donations handles everything for you; there’s no paperwork and no hassle. Here’s how our three-step donation process works:
You contact us. Call us or fill out our online donation form. We’ll request basic details about you and your vehicle and use them to determine eligibility.
We pick up your vehicle. If your car qualifies for donation, we’ll schedule a free vehicle pickup with a local towing company. This service is absolutely free to you. Then, depending on its condition and when it was received, we auction it to generate funds for local nonprofits.
We send you a tax receipt. A few days later, we mail you a tax receipt, which enables you to cancel your insurance and registration. You can also use the receipt to claim a potential deduction on your next itemized federal tax return.

We accept many types of vehicles, from cars and motorcycles to campers and limos, but we can’t take them all.
