Does towing cost anything in Utah?

No. Towing anywhere in Utah is free, and the cost is never passed back to you or deducted from your receipt.

Which Utah cities do you serve?

Every community in Utah is served, including Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo and Ogden. If your town is not listed on the site, pickup is still available — enter your ZIP code on the form.

Is my car donation in Utah tax-deductible?

Yes. Veterans Care Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so a vehicle donated in Utah is deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt at pickup and IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500. Consult your tax advisor about your specific deduction.

Do I have to be present for the Utah pickup?

Usually someone should be there to hand over the keys and any paperwork, but if that is not possible, tell the coordinator when they call and they will go through the alternatives with you.

Is this a Utah-only program?

No. Veterans Car Donation operates nationwide, but pickup for Utah donors is coordinated locally so towing is scheduled around where the vehicle actually sits.

What happens to my vehicle after it leaves Utah?

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.

Utah Vehicle Donation

Donate a Car in Utah and Support Veterans

Any condition, any Utah town — free pickup and a tax-deductible receipt.

A vehicle you no longer drive can do real work for veterans in Utah. Veterans Car Donation arranges free pickup across the state — from Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo and Ogden to the small towns in between — and turns the vehicle into support for Veterans Care Charity.

You never pay for the tow, never need to fix the vehicle first, and are never committed until you say yes on the phone.

Three steps to donate your vehicle in Utah

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

Running or not: what qualifies in Utah

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Utah 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.

Free pickup in Utah

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

Coordinators cover Utah and the surrounding area, including Salt Lake City, West Valley City and Provo.

Where a Utah donation goes

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 Utah.

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