This is where you can step in with a vehicle you no longer need. By handing it to Breast Cancer Car Donations, that vehicle can fund screenings, support programs, and research that change lives. One small action on your part can spark relief and recovery for someone struggling in life.
A Hassle-Free Process That Makes Helping Effortless
We’ve made it simple to give back – no stress, no cost, just pure impact. Here’s how to turn your vehicle into hope for women battling breast cancer in Hartford.
- Reach out to us – Fill out our quick online form or give us a call to tell us about your car. Once we confirm your details, our team will handle everything else.
- We’ll pick it up for free – Whether your vehicle’s parked in Downtown Hartford, near Bushnell Park, or along Albany Avenue, we’ll tow it at no cost. Expect our driver to arrive within 24 to 48 hours.
- Get your tax receipt – After your car sells, we’ll send you your IRS-approved donation receipt. Use it to claim a deduction that could trim your tax bill while knowing your gift made an impact.
Giving Back Has Never Been This Rewarding

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I still donate my car if it failed the emissions test?
Yes, we gladly take cars that didn’t meet emissions requirements. As long as you can provide proof of ownership, we’ll accept it and make sure it supports life-changing breast cancer services.
2. How fast can you send a tow truck over to my place?
Once you sign up, our drivers are dispatched right away. You’ll usually see your tow truck within 24–48 hours, depending on your location and schedule preferences.
3. Where do the proceeds from my Hartford car donation go?
The proceeds from your car’s sale go directly to our IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners. They help fund vital programs such as:
- Free breast cancer screenings and diagnostic testing
- Access to treatment and patient care
- Research for better therapies and prevention
- Emotional and financial support for patients and survivors
4. Are there any follow-up steps once my vehicle's gone?
Notify your insurer to cancel coverage and return your plates to the Connecticut DMV. Then, file a release of liability to officially transfer ownership and protect yourself from future responsibility.
5. How does the IRS calculate car donation deductions?
The IRS bases your deduction on your car’s final sale value. Anything over $500 qualifies for that exact amount, while cars selling below that threshold allow you to claim either fair market value or $500.
6. Is an incomplete title eligible for donation in Connecticut?
Unfortunately, no. The DMV requires all title fields to be properly filled out before a vehicle can be transferred. Our Title team will help you identify what’s missing and assist with the correction. You’ll finalize the update at the Wethersfield DMV, 60 State Street, Wethersfield, CT 06161.
