Car Donation in Austin, Texas for Veterans

What we accept in Austin

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