What happens to my vehicle after it leaves Alabama?

The vehicle is sold or recycled through the charity's process, and the proceeds fund Veterans Care Charity's programs for veterans, including meals, clothing and shelter assistance.

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Alabama?

Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats are all accepted from Alabama donors — any make, model or model year.

Is this a Alabama-only program?

No. Veterans Car Donation operates nationwide, but pickup for Alabama donors is coordinated locally so towing is scheduled around where the vehicle actually sits.

Do I need the title to donate in Alabama?

A title in your name makes the transfer simplest. If you cannot find it, choose "No" or "Not sure" on the form — coordinators handle missing-title donations regularly and will explain the options for your situation before pickup.

Which Alabama cities do you serve?

Every community in Alabama is served, including Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville and Mobile. If your town is not listed on the site, pickup is still available — enter your ZIP code on the form.

Do I have to be present for the Alabama pickup?

Usually someone should be there to hand over the keys and any paperwork, but if that is not possible, tell the coordinator when they call and they will go through the alternatives with you.

What the Alabama donation process looks like

Donors in Alabama follow the same short path from first call to tax receipt.

Tell us about the vehicle — the short form takes about 60 seconds, or call (855) 681-1155 and a coordinator will take the details by phone.
Schedule free pickup — a coordinator calls to arrange towing at a time that suits you, wherever the vehicle sits in Alabama.
Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

What we accept in Alabama

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Alabama arrive running, barely running and not running at all, and all three are useful.

Mechanical failure, missing parts and cosmetic damage are all common. Describe the vehicle honestly on the form and the coordinator will tell you exactly what to expect.
