Have an unwanted vehicle taking up space in Newport News? Donating it can give you an easy way to let it go while helping support organizations that serve veterans. You will not have to pay for towing, and you may qualify for a tax deduction when you itemize. Below, we explain how vehicle donation works, what we accept, how free pickup works, and what happens after your vehicle is sold.
Your Vehicle Donation Can Help Support Our Veterans
When you donate your unwanted vehicle through Veteran Car Donations, you help support organizations serving veterans. You can also avoid trying to sell a vehicle you no longer want. We keep the donation process simple, whether your vehicle still runs or has stopped working. Getting started takes only a few minutes, and our team is here if you need help along the way.
No matter where you live in the area, whether it’s Kiln Creek, Bethel Manor, Acree Acres, South Newport News, or beyond, you can contact us about donating your vehicle. You do not have to figure everything out before you call. Tell us about the vehicle you want to donate, and we can answer your questions about the title, paperwork, pickup, and other parts of the process.
What Types of Vehicles Can You Donate in Newport News?
We accept most cars, trucks, boats, RVs, campers, specialty vehicles, and fleet vehicles. We can even accept many vehicles that do not run. However, you will need to contact us to determine if your specific vehicle qualifies. You can also learn more about the vehicles we accept before you get started. If you are unsure about your vehicle, simply give us a call.
Maybe your vehicle has been sitting unused for a while. Perhaps it stopped running along Interstate 64 (I-64), and you no longer want to deal with it. Whatever led you to consider donating, you can contact us and tell us about the vehicle. We will help you understand what comes next instead of leaving you to sort through the donation process on your own.
How Do You Start Your Vehicle Donation in Newport News?
Starting your donation takes only a few minutes. You can fill out our online form or call us at 877-594-5822. Tell us about the vehicle you would like to donate so we can determine whether it qualifies. You do not need to spend time wondering where to begin. Contacting us is the first step, and we can help with questions about the process from there.
If you want to know more about who we are before donating, you can read more about Veteran Car Donations. Our vehicle donation program helps support organizations that serve veterans. That means an unwanted vehicle can become a way for you to support veteran organizations while also taking care of a vehicle you no longer need or want to keep.
What Happens When Your Donated Vehicle Needs Pickup?
You do not have to pay to have your donated vehicle picked up. Pickup and towing are completely free. A local towing company can collect your vehicle from almost any location, and you do not even need to be there when it is picked up. This can be especially helpful when you have a vehicle that no longer runs and you do not want to arrange or pay for towing yourself.
Maybe your vehicle stopped running near U.S. Route 17, or perhaps it has been sitting after a problem along U.S. Route 60. You can contact us instead of worrying about how you will move it yourself. If you have questions about pickup before donating, our frequently asked questions can provide more information. You can also call us directly when you need help with the process.
Can You Donate a Vehicle That Does Not Run Anymore?
Yes, we can accept many vehicles that do not run. You will still need to contact us so we can determine whether your particular vehicle qualifies. A vehicle does not automatically have to be ruled out just because it stopped working. If an unwanted vehicle has been sitting because you were not sure what to do with it, donating may be an option worth asking us about.
Maybe your vehicle broke down around U.S. Route 258, and you have decided you no longer need it. You can tell us about its condition when you contact us. We will let you know whether it qualifies for donation and help you with questions about the next steps. If it does qualify, pickup and towing are free, so you will not have to pay to have the vehicle hauled away.
What Happens After Your Donated Vehicle Is Sold?
After your donated vehicle is sold, we mail you the receipt or IRS form you need to claim your tax deduction when you itemize. This gives you the paperwork related to your donation after the sale. If you have questions about that paperwork, you can call us. We are here to help you understand the steps connected with your donation and the documents you receive afterward.
Your donation also helps support organizations serving veterans. Newport News has its own visible example of how the area honors veterans: the Newport News Victory Arch on 25th Street and West Avenue in downtown Newport News. Donating an unwanted vehicle gives you another way to support organizations serving veterans while taking care of a vehicle that you no longer need.
