Rapid City Car Donation — Free Pickup, Tax-Deductible

Rapid City pickup and towing

There is never a charge to you for towing in Rapid City — not at pickup, and not deducted from anything afterward.

Coordinators cover Rapid City and the surrounding area, including Sioux Falls, Aberdeen and Brookings.

What we accept in Rapid City

If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. Rapid City donors regularly hand over cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats.

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.

Tax deduction details for Rapid City donors

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 Rapid City tax records; Form 1098-C follows by mail when it applies.
