How Much Is My Junk Car Donation Worth

Have a junk car, non-running vehicle, or old beater taking up space? Cars for Veterans will pick it up for free — no matter the condition — and turn it into real support for veterans who served our country.

We Accept Junk Cars in Any Condition

Whether your vehicle has a blown engine, transmission problems, body damage, high mileage, or simply won't start, we want it. We accept cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and more.

• Cars that don't run or start
• Vehicles with mechanical or electrical problems
• Wrecked, flooded, or fire-damaged vehicles
• Cars with expired registration or failed inspection
• High-mileage vehicles over 200,000 miles
• Salvage or rebuilt title vehicles

How Junk Car Donation Works

1. Call 1-800-940-6416 to start your donation
2. Schedule free pickup — we come to your location
3. We handle everything — towing, paperwork, title transfer
4. Get your tax receipt — claim your deduction at tax time

Tax Deduction for Junk Car Donations

Even junk cars qualify for a tax deduction. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Cars for Veterans provides a tax receipt for every donation. The IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value or the sale price of your vehicle, whichever is greater.

How Your Junk Car Helps Veterans

Your donated vehicle — no matter its condition — funds programs that provide housing, job training, mental health support, and family services for veterans across America. What's junk to you is a lifeline for a veteran in need.
