1. What can I donate?
A: We accept most vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks,
trailers, boats and RV's.
2. My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?
A: Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions include
older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing). To find out if
we can accept your vehicle, please complete and submit our online donation
form.
4. Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states?
A: Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in the continental U.S. and
Hawaii.
5. How will my car be picked up?
A: We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally
licensed, bonded and insured towing company.
3. What do I need to donate my vehicle?
A: We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us
anyway. It is possible that other arrangements may be made. Please call us toll-
free at 1-800-237-5714 seven days a week.
6. How long will it take to pick up my car?
A: We will arrange for a towing company to contact you via telephone within
three to four business days at the latest. If you need your car picked up sooner,
please let us know as we are oftentimes able to accommodate rush orders as
well.
7. Is my donation tax deductible?
A: Yes, vehicle and vessel donations made to bona fide charitable
organizations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. We have verified
that DARE America is listed classified with the IRS as non-profit charitable
organization. However, individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax
professional to determine what if any tax benefit you may receive from a tax
deductible donation.
8. How does my tax deduction work?
A: The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the
value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if we sell the vehicle for more than
$500 we will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax purposes.
