You may qualify for a tax deduction while supporting a cause that is near and dear to your heart!

Vehicle donation pick-up is free to you and most vehicles can be picked up within 24-72 hours. You'll receive an initial car donation receipt upon pick-up and then the CARS team will work to turn your car into cash to support the animals in our care.

Once your vehicle is sold, you'll be provided with the proper tax forms in time to file your taxes. Friendly customer service representatives are available 7 days a week to assist throughout the process.
