CARS works with a very large network of nationwide and independent suppliers to sell the vehicle and maximize donation proceeds. This includes analyzing vendor pricing and performance on a regular basis to improve the process and ensure the best possible return for our nonprofit partners and to maximize their donors’ tax benefit. For unique or specialty items that have been donated, we may use other means to sell the vehicle to help ensure the maximum funds are received for each donation.  \nWhat type of paperwork will I need to donate my car?  \nYou will need a current and clear title. Any lien holder listed on the title must be cleared and/or released by the bank. This law varies by state.  \nWhat types of vehicles do you accept?  \nAll vehicles are considered! We strive to accept all types of donated vehicles (running or not) including cars, trucks, trailers, boats, RVs, motorcycles, campers, off-road vehicles, planes, heavy equipment, farm machinery, and most other motorized vehicles. To find out if we can accept your vehicle, please complete our secure online vehicle donation form, or call us toll-free at 855-500-RIDE (7433) during regular hours of operation.  \nAre there any costs?  \nThere is no cost to the donor. All expenses are deducted from the gross sales price, and if the costs ever exceed the price, those costs are covered by CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) .  \nWhen can I schedule my pick-up?  \nWhen you are contacted by the towing/vendor company, you will most likely be given a time period to choose from for your pick-up window. These windows are based on your needs as a donor and what fits the realities of the traffic and volume in the geographic area of the vehicle.  \nHow long is the entire process from the vehicle pick-up to when the nonprofit receives its funds?  \nThe entire sale process can take approximately four to 12 weeks. The net cash proceeds from your generous vehicle donation are sent to Post 291 within five business days upon the receipt of the sale proceeds from CARS auction or direct buy vendors.  \nHow will my vehicle be picked up?  \nOnce you have provided us with all necessary information via the online vehicle donation form or over the phone with one of our Vehicle Donor Support Representatives, we will arrange to have a licensed tow company pick up your vehicle at a time convenient for you. The vehicle will be picked up and taken to one of our many sale locations where it will be sold—all at no cost to you.  \nHow quickly can I have my vehicle picked up?  \nIn many cases, once the donation record has been created, we can arrange to have the vehicle be picked up on the initial call. In other cases, within two to three business days, our tow vendor representative for your donation will be calling/texting and/or emailing you using the information you provided on the donation form to schedule a convenient appointment time for your vehicle to be picked up. If you need your car picked up sooner, please let one of our Vehicle Donor Support Representatives know during your initial call.
