Tampa, Florida Vehicle Donation
Donate Your Car in Tampa, Florida
Donate a vehicle in Tampa and help a veteran. Towing is on us.
That car in the driveway or garage in Tampa does not have to be sold, listed or repaired. Free pickup is available throughout Tampa, and every donation is tax-deductible.
If the vehicle is parked closer to Jacksonville, Miami and Orlando than to Tampa itself, the pickup still works the same way — Florida is served statewide.

Tax deduction details for Tampa donors
Your vehicle donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Veterans Care Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You will receive a donation receipt, and IRS Form 1098-C if your vehicle sells for more than $500. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific deduction.
You never have to chase the paperwork — the receipt comes at pickup and any additional IRS form follows once the vehicle is processed.
Three steps to donate your vehicle in Tampa
From the first form to the final paperwork, a Tampa donation moves in three steps.
- 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 Tampa.
- 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 Tampa
If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. Tampa 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.
