Because we truly value you and your generosity, we've designed our process to be as simple and hassle-free as possible, and you can always check our donation FAQs for quick answers. Here's what you can expect when you join our Elgin, Illinois, car donations program:

  1. Step 1: You reach out to us.

    When you're ready to donate a car, just call us at (866) 540-5069 or fill out our quick online donation form from your phone or computer. Share a few basic details about the vehicle you want to donate, including its make, model, VIN, year, mileage, title status, and current working condition.

  2. Step 2: We collect your car.

    We'll contact you to schedule your free vehicle pickup. You choose the date, time, and place that work best for you to hand your car over to us. We'll then arrange for a licensed towing company to come out and collect your vehicle on the day you selected.

    Remember, our towing service is completely free for you. You also don't have to be present during the pickup if your schedule is tight. Just let us know ahead of time that you can't be there, and we'll give you simple instructions on what to do instead.

    Before we take your vehicle, we'll hand you a towing receipt. You can use this receipt to de-register your vehicle with your local DMV and to cancel your insurance coverage without any confusion.

  3. Step 3: We deliver your tax-deductible receipt.

    Once we receive your vehicle, we'll send it to a trusted auction house in our network to get the best possible selling price. Within about 30 days of the sale, we'll mail you a 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. Keep this receipt so you can claim your tax deduction when you file your itemized federal income tax return for the next tax season.

No matter where you live in the area - whether it's Cedar Grove, Parkwood, Summerhill, Williamsburg Green, or anywhere in between - we'd love to hear from you.
