Does my car have to be running to donate it?
We can take your vehicle running or not. However, it must be in one piece, have an engine, and be towable. Contact a CARS representative at 855-500-RIDE (7433) to find out if your vehicle qualifies for pick-up.
How quickly can I get my vehicle picked up?
You will be contacted within 24 hours of receipt of the donation to schedule a pickup. Typically we can pick up your vehicle within 2 to 3 business days. If you need your vehicle picked up sooner, please call us toll-free at 855-500-RIDE (7433) as we may be able to make those arrangements.
Do I need a smog certificate in order to donate my car?
For states that require smog certificates or safety inspections, you may donate your vehicle without these documents.
Do I need the title to donate my vehicle?
You will need the title to the vehicle. If you do not have it, it is possible that other arrangements can be made. Please call us toll-free at 855-500-RIDE (7433) seven days a week, for more information.
What do you do with donated vehicles?
Vehicles are sold through private auction. The funds from vehicle donations are used to support the programs and services of the nonprofit of your choice.
