Tennessee Vehicle Donation
Car Donation in Tennessee — Support Veterans
Free towing anywhere in Tennessee. Running or not. 100% tax-deductible.
If there is a car, truck or camper taking up space at your Tennessee address, donating it is simpler than selling it. Pickup is free everywhere in Tennessee, including Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga, 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.

Who your Tennessee donation supports
Veterans Car Donation is the vehicle-donation program of Veterans Care Charity, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012 and based in Las Vegas, NV.
A vehicle you no longer need becomes practical help: food, warm clothing and shelter support for veterans, funded by donations like the ones we collect in Tennessee.
"Veterans Care Charity is committed to improving the lives of our American heroes, the Veterans. Through outreach and advocacy, we can make a difference."
What we accept in Tennessee
If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee tax records; Form 1098-C follows by mail when it applies.
Tennessee pickup and towing
There is never a charge to you for towing in Tennessee — not at pickup, and not deducted from anything afterward.
Coordinators cover Tennessee and the surrounding area, including Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville.
What the Tennessee donation process looks like
Donors in Tennessee 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 Tennessee.
- Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.
