Do I need the title to donate in Maine?

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.

What if I would rather give cash than a vehicle?

Veterans Care Charity accepts monetary gifts directly on its own site, and those donations fund the same veteran outreach programs.

Can I donate more than one vehicle in Maine?

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

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

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

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Maine?

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

Does towing cost anything in Maine?

No. Towing anywhere in Maine is free, and the cost is never passed back to you or deducted from your receipt.

Maine Vehicle Donation

Car Donation in Maine — Support Veterans

Any condition, any Maine town — free pickup and a tax-deductible receipt.

Maine donors give vehicles in every condition, and every one of them helps. Free towing reaches Portland, Lewiston, Bangor and Augusta and the rest of the state, and each donation supports Veterans Care Charity's work with veterans.

You never pay for the tow, never need to fix the vehicle first, and are never committed until you say yes on the phone.

Registered 501(c)(3) Nonprofit 100% Tax-Deductible Free Nationwide Towing Running or Not Supporting Veterans Since 2012

Free towing throughout Maine

Towing is always free. A licensed operator comes to your home, workplace or storage lot in Maine at a time you agree on.

Coordinators cover Maine and the surrounding area, including Portland, Lewiston and Bangor.

Running or not: what qualifies in Maine

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Maine 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.

How donating a car in Maine works

Nothing about the Maine process is complicated, and nothing costs you money.

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 Maine.
Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Your Maine donation is tax-deductible

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.
