San Jose Car Donation — Free Pickup, Tax-Deductible

Running or not: what qualifies in San Jose

If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. San Jose donors regularly hand over cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats.

You do not need to repair, clean or tow anything yourself. Tell us the condition as it is and the pickup is arranged around it.

Three steps to donate your vehicle in San Jose

Donors in San Jose 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 San Jose.
• Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

San Jose pickup and towing

Towing is always free. A licensed operator comes to your home, workplace or storage lot in San Jose at a time you agree on.

Coordinators cover San Jose and the surrounding area, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.

Where a San Jose donation goes

A vehicle you no longer need becomes practical help: food, warm clothing and shelter support for veterans, funded by donations like the ones we collect in San Jose.
