If you're looking for a way to support a great charity in your community, donate a car in Sacramento. Donating a vehicle is one of the most generous ways to give and it doesn't cost you anything — except maybe an old vehicle that you don't use anyway.
Are you looking to do something with that car you’re no longer using? Congratulations! You've come to the right place. Donating your car is a simple process that can significantly benefit the charity of your choice.

Are you still thinking, "Well maybe I can sell my vehicle instead"? Selling your car can be a time-consuming prospect. Not only will you deal will calls, emails, and appointments - but with buyers who may stand you up, not be serious, not be qualified, and then want to haggle. You'll need to get your car in shape to get the best price, visit the DMV, and deal with the paper work.
If you're looking for a fast, easy way solution - and a chance to do something good - a vehicle donation in Sacramento can provide tax value for you, while benefiting the charity of your choice.

In most cases, we accept donations of all types of vehicles, whether they are running or not. We process all makes and models of: cars, trucks, motorcycles, vans, RVs, boats, golf carts, and more!
Step 1: Preparing for the Process
You’ll start the process of donating your car to by collecting the vehicle's cleared Certificate of Title and Registration.
If you have misplaced your title or registration, don’t worry! We can help. Please find your vehicle's identification number (VIN) and together we can determine which supplementary paperwork you will need to complete at the time of pick up.
Step 2: Scheduling Your Pickup
Give us a call at (855) 520-2100, or complete an online donation request. Our friendly donation coordinators will gather your vehicles information, and together, we will decide the most convenient time, date, and location for the pickup. Then we will send you an email that gives you step by step instructions to prepare you for the pick-up.
Before arriving, our tow truck driver will call you one hour before to give you time to collect paperwork and prepare the vehicle for towing. At the time of the pick-up, make sure your title is signed and clear of any lien holdings. You will hand over the title and registration to the tow truck driver.
Step 3: Maximizing the Donation
We take the reins at this point to maximize the donation for both our donors and charities. We do this by assessing the vehicle and adding value to increase the selling price of the car.
It’s a situation many people dream about – a successful way to support a cause you care about without the work involved.
Here at Cars2Charities, we work with hundreds of charities. If you have a passion for helping animals in need, your vehicle donation proceeds can go to an animal rescue like- Westside German Shepherd Rescue, California Wolf Center, or Boston Buddies of Southern California. Maybe you would rather supprt veterans through charities like: Wounded Warrior Project, USO, Working Dogs for Vets, Support The Enlisted Project (STEP), or Veterans Helping Veterans Foundation.
If you would rather have your donation go towards children and families in need, your donation can go towards: A Place Called Home, Breast Cancer Awareness, or Teen Cancer America. Whatever your focus, we make it easy.
Now, if deciding on just one charity is too hard, we can help. You can just say, “Cars2Charities, you choose for me." Simply let us know.

Charities are not the only ones who benefit. Your reward for being kind is a sweet tax deduction. By donating a car in Sacramento, you’re part of a win/win proposition. Our value-enhancing service doesn't cost you a thing and allows you to deduct the full sale price off your taxes as a charity donation.

The simple reason people donate cars is they don't need them anymore. Choosing to donate a vehicle to charity can be as personal as finding an easy way to support a cause close to your heart. Or maybe your car is not worth much and you just want it off your driveway.
There are countless great reasons for giving your car to charity in Sacramento. Some of the reasons we hear most often are:
-It’s a huge hassle to sell it yourself or the trade-in offer you got from CarMax or a dealer is laughably low. Your time may be more valuable than the energy needed to fix it up and sell it yourself — and just imagine the nightmare of finding the vehicle registration documents or title if it's an old car, or something that's in the family. When you donate your vehicle in Sacramento through Cars2Charities, we handle the details and tow your car – whenever and from wherever it's convenient.
-You need your vehicle off your property. Your neighborhood CC&Rs aren’t going to like an extra vehicle parked on the street or sitting in your driveway through multiple seasons. The easiest way to avoid that scenario is through a car, truck or SUV donation in Sacramento.
-Your repair bills are too high. You may be handing yourself free money when you donate a vehicle in Sacramento to benefit charity. You might as well have that repair money go toward a car loan and drive something newer and nicer.
-You want to benefit the environment. It’s more than just trending – everyone’s thinking about their EV options. There are charging stations everywhere and you save money on gas. From Chevy to Tesla, every manufacturer has a car you’ve probably looked into.
