Houston Car Donation — Free Pickup, Tax-Deductible

What we accept in Houston

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Houston arrive running, barely running and not running at all, and all three are useful.

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.

Three steps to donate your vehicle in Houston

From the first form to the final paperwork, a Houston donation moves in three steps.

• 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 Houston.
• Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Free towing throughout Houston

Pickup in Houston is arranged around your schedule, and the tow itself costs you nothing.

Coordinators cover Houston and the surrounding area, including San Antonio, Dallas and Austin.

Tax deduction details for Houston 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.

You never have to chase the paperwork — the receipt comes at pickup and any additional IRS form follows once the vehicle is processed.
