How To Donate A Junk Car To Charity

If you have a junk vehicle sitting around on your property, you may have more options than you realized for getting rid of it.

But what if there was a way to have your junk car removed for free and help a charity all at the same time?

With Wheels For Wishes, you can do just that! You can donate your car in just about any condition. In most cases, your vehicle doesn't even need to run in order for it to be donated. By donating your junk car, you will receive so many great benefits that you wouldn't get otherwise. You can't donate a car for cash, but you can donate to benefit kids and get a great tax deduction!

Should You Scrap Your Old Car?

Places that buy junk cars for top dollar might seem great, but there are a few drawbacks you may not have considered. If your old car doesn't run, scrap car buyers aren't going to come pick it up for free. After paying a tow truck to come get your junk car, you might break even when you sell the car for scrap.

A better option is car donation. On top of the free towing you will receive, donors also get to enjoy a great tax deduction for their car donation! Free towing and a tax deduction make car donation one of the best options for any unwanted vehicle.
