Pearl City Car Donation — Free Pickup, Tax-Deductible

Vehicles accepted from Pearl City donors

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Pearl City 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.

Paperwork and tax deduction in Pearl City

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.

The receipt you get at pickup is your first piece of documentation. If the vehicle sells above $500, Form 1098-C shows the gross sale amount for your return.

How donating a car in Pearl City works

From the first form to the final paperwork, a Pearl City 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 Pearl City.
• Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.
