New Orleans, Louisiana Vehicle Donation
Car Donation in New Orleans, Louisiana for Veterans
Donate a vehicle in New Orleans and help a veteran. Towing is on us.
Donating a vehicle in New Orleans takes about a minute of your time. A coordinator arranges free towing from wherever the vehicle sits in New Orleans, and the donation supports veterans through Veterans Care Charity.
If the vehicle is parked closer to Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette than to New Orleans itself, the pickup still works the same way — Louisiana is served statewide.

How donating a car in New Orleans works
From the first form to the final paperwork, a New Orleans 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 New Orleans.
- Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.
Vehicles accepted from New Orleans donors
Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from New Orleans 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.
