Donate Your Car in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Three steps to donate your vehicle in Chattanooga

Nothing about the Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga.
• Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Veterans Care Charity and your Chattanooga donation

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.

Proceeds from vehicles donated in Chattanooga support the charity's outreach for homeless and struggling veterans — meals, warm clothing and shelter assistance.

"Veterans Care Charity is committed to improving the lives of our American heroes, the Veterans. Through outreach and advocacy, we can make a difference."

Running or not: what qualifies in Chattanooga

If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. Chattanooga 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.

Chattanooga pickup and towing

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

Coordinators cover Chattanooga and the surrounding area, including Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville.
