Louisiana Vehicle Donation

Car Donation in Louisiana — Support Veterans

Statewide Louisiana pickup at no cost, and every donation is tax-deductible.

If there is a car, truck or camper taking up space at your Louisiana address, donating it is simpler than selling it. Pickup is free everywhere in Louisiana, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette, and the paperwork is handled for you.

There is no charge for towing, no repair required before pickup, and no obligation after you fill out the form.

Paperwork and tax deduction in Louisiana

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.

Keep the receipt handed to you at pickup with your Louisiana tax records; Form 1098-C follows by mail when it applies.

What we accept in Louisiana

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

A failed inspection, body damage, a dead battery or years parked in the same spot will not disqualify a donation. If you are unsure, note it on the form and a coordinator will confirm before pickup.

Free towing throughout Louisiana

Pickup in Louisiana is arranged around your schedule, and the tow itself costs you nothing.

Coordinators cover Louisiana and the surrounding area, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport.

Three steps to donate your vehicle in Louisiana

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