Can I donate a Nashville vehicle that is in storage?

Yes. Vehicles are collected from storage lots, self-storage facilities, workplaces and residential streets in Nashville, not only from home driveways. Mention the location when the coordinator calls.

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.

What happens to my vehicle after it leaves Nashville?

The vehicle is sold or recycled through the charity's process, and the proceeds fund Veterans Care Charity's programs for veterans, including meals, clothing and shelter assistance.

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Nashville?

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

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

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

Who do I call about a donation in Nashville?

Nashville, Tennessee Vehicle Donation

Nashville Car Donation — Free Pickup, Tax-Deductible

Nashville pickup at no cost — any condition, full tax receipt.

Nashville donors give cars, trucks, SUVs and more in every condition. Pickup is free, the paperwork is handled, and the proceeds go to work for veterans.

If the vehicle is parked closer to Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga than to Nashville itself, the pickup still works the same way — Tennessee is served statewide.
