Donate Your Junk Car

Breast Cancer Car Donations turns your old, damaged or non-working scrap vehicles into hope for people battling breast cancer. Whether your car won’t start, has major mechanical problems or is simply no longer useful, donating it supports lifesaving care and research. When you donate your junk car, we make the process fast and stress-free. Here you will learn how your donation helps patients, what types of salvage vehicles we accept, how our easy donation process works and how you can get free towing and a tax deduction. Donating your car has never been easier or more meaningful.

Do you have an old car that’s just sitting in your backyard, unused and gathering dust? Are you searching online for phrases like “donate my junk car,” unsure about what to do next? Maybe you’re torn between selling it or hauling it off to a junkyard, but neither option feels right. Selling can be frustrating and time-consuming, and junking it means paying for towing and getting little to no value in return.

There’s a better choice and it’s easier, more rewarding and makes a real difference. You can donate your junk car to charity through Breast Cancer Car Donations. Trying to sell your clunker often takes a lot of time and ends with disappointment and expenses. Junking it is no better, as you still have to pay for removal and gain nothing. But by donating it, you skip the stress and help save lives in the process.

Since 2015, Breast Cancer Car Donations has turned unwanted vehicles like yours into critical funding for underserved breast cancer patients. When you donate to our cause, you get something valuable in return, too. That old car in your garage or driveway has more potential than you realize. It could help save lives across the country and bring hope to those who need it most.

The funds raised from your donation go directly to powerful programs that:

• Provide financial aid for breast cancer patients who are uninsured or underserved
• Advance breast cancer research in prevention, diagnosis and treatment
• Increase awareness through public campaigns about breast cancer’s symptoms, prevention and early detection
• Fund outreach events and services that directly support breast cancer patients

Do You Accept Junk Cars for Donations?

Yes, we do! In most cases, we accept junk motor vehicles no matter their condition. Whether it’s been sitting idle for years, covered in dents or no longer running, we’ll likely accept it. Our focus is on helping, not judging. The only exceptions are vehicles that are abandoned with no proof of ownership or those so damaged they hold no remaining value. If you’re unsure, just reach out. We’re happy to assess your situation.

What Types of Vehicles Do You Accept for Donation?

Although we commonly receive cars, pickup trucks and SUVs, Breast Cancer Car Donations accepts a wide variety of automobiles. Here are more examples of what you can donate:

• ATVs
• Campers
• Farm equipment
• Fleet vehicles
• Golf carts

How Does the Donation Process Work?

• Call us at (866) 540-5069 or fill out our online donation form. Share basic information about yourself and your vehicle. Then, schedule a free pickup at your convenience.
• A local licensed towing company will arrive to collect your car and give you a receipt. This will allow you to cancel your car’s insurance and registration.
• We’ll auction your vehicle and work to get the highest possible sale price. All proceeds go to our nonprofit partners who provide essential support services to breast cancer patients.

Once your car is sold, we’ll send you a tax-deductible receipt by mail within days. This document allows you to claim a deduction on your federal tax return.

How Do I Prepare My Car for Donation?

Here’s how you can prepare your car for donation smoothly and efficiently:

• Return your license plates to the DMV as required by your state.
• Transfer your car’s title to Breast Cancer Car Donations and fill out the required paperwork completely and accurately.
• Remove all personal belongings and clean the car. A clean vehicle helps us speed up processing and allows your donation to make an impact faster.
• Cancel your registration and insurance to avoid ongoing fees and liabilities.
• Always ensure you’re donating to a reputable charity like Breast Cancer Car Donations to maximize the positive impact of your gift.

How Do I Transfer the Car Title for Donation, and What If the Title Is Missing?

To donate your car, you’ll need to sign and transfer your car title to Breast Cancer Car Donations. Our team will guide you step-by-step to ensure everything is filled out correctly. If you’ve lost your title, many states allow for a duplicate title request through the DMV. We’ll even assist you in securing that replacement so your donation can move forward without delays.

How and When Do I Cancel My Car’s Registration?

You should cancel your vehicle’s registration right after the donation process is completed. After your car is picked up and you receive the towing receipt, contact your local DMV to cancel the registration. This prevents you from being liable for any future fees or penalties associated with the vehicle. Your towing receipt serves as legal proof that the car is no longer in your possession.

When Should I Cancel My Car Insurance After Donating?

You can cancel your car insurance immediately after the donation pickup is complete and the vehicle is no longer in your care. Make sure you’ve received the towing receipt first. Then, contact your insurance provider to inform them of the donation and provide the receipt as verification. This ensures you’re not billed for coverage you no longer need.
