Car Donation in Detroit, Michigan for Veterans
Donate a vehicle in Detroit and help a veteran. Towing is on us.
Donating a vehicle in Detroit takes about a minute of your time. A coordinator arranges free towing from wherever the vehicle sits in Detroit, and the donation supports veterans through Veterans Care Charity.

Donate Your Car — Free Pickup
✓ Takes 60 seconds • Free towing • Tax-deductible
Step 1 of 3
Free pickup in Detroit
Pickup in Detroit is arranged around your schedule, and the tow itself costs you nothing.
Coordinators cover Detroit and the surrounding area, including Grand Rapids, Warren and Ann Arbor.
What we accept in Detroit
Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Detroit 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.
What the Detroit donation process looks like
Donors in Detroit follow the same short path from first call to tax receipt.
- 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 Detroit.
- Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.
