3 Easy Steps

How to donate a car

No extra paperwork. No stress. No cost.
Our experienced team takes care of everything for you, from collection to V5C transfer. You just have to wave goodbye.
  1. 1

    Tell us about your car

    It takes 2 minutes to donate online or by calling 300-234-1000. We’ll take some basic information about your car, including the year, make, model and condition. We can accept almost any vehicle regardless of condition.

  2. 2

    Arrange a collection time

    Our local collection company will be in touch within 24 hours hours to schedule a convenient collection time. Your car can be collected as soon as that or the next day. Just have your vehicle documents and proof of ID ready. You’ll receive a temporary receipt as confirmation of vehicle collection.

  3. 3

    Receipt

    We get to work right away selling your car through our network of car auctions and resellers. This takes about 2-4 weeks as we ensure your car is sold for the best price possible. As soon as it sells, we’ll email your donation receipt, and if you're a UK taxpayer, we’ll apply Gift Aid to boost your donation by 25%.
