What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Hartford?

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

Can I donate more than one vehicle in Hartford?

Yes. Submit the form for the first vehicle and mention the others when the coordinator calls; multiple pickups in Hartford can often be arranged together.

Do I have to be present for the Hartford 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.

Will you accept a vehicle in Hartford that does not run?

Yes. Non-running vehicles are accepted throughout Hartford. Flat tires, a dead battery, a failed inspection or years of sitting still are all fine — just describe the condition on the form.

Do I need the title to donate in Hartford?

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.
