Why should I donate a car in California?
How can you donate a car in California by turning your old car into cash for a charity? Want it fast, free and with zero hassle to you?
We've got this!
You seriously don't have to lift a finger … well, one finger, to call us at Cars2Charifor free - whenever and wherever is most convenient for you (The charity you choose reimburses Cars2Charities for the towing, improvements, and handling). We determine if changes to your car will result in a higher sale price. Then we sell it and hand your favorite charity a check … and you get a tax write-off for 100% of the value of your car donation in California!
We literally handle it start to finish - we take care of the title transfer and all the DMV documents. You have better things to do than sit around and wait for Craigslist customers and stand in long lines at the DMV. Let us take the car you no longer need off your hands (and out of the garage!). You can also feel good knowing that you can generously help someone without resources.
Did you know that your vehicle donation in California doesn't even have to run?! We come and tow your car, so it's not like other charities that accept car donations in California, where you have to limp it to a drop-off location or government rebate center.
If you're accustomed to doing dealer trade-ins or CarMax when it's time to upgrade your car, you may not know that you tend to only get 30%-40% of the value of your vehicle. An interesting study at the Marshall School of Business at USC revealed that dealers increase the sale price of their cars when presenting quotes to shoppers who are planning to trade in their cars. The researchers found that car sales personnel assume that buyers with trade-ins aren't very concerned about the bottom line.
Can I donate an RV in California? What about a truck or motorcycle?
The answer is “all of the above!" You reap the same benefits if you make a recreational vehicle donation in California as you do with an auto donation. Is your motor home just sitting in the driveway? We can pick that up for you, or you can donate a camper in California.

What's the best car donation tax deduction in California?
Throughout the year you have to make decisions that affect your totals on (everyone's favorite day of the year) April 15th. With a charity car donation in California through Cars2Charities, you get a process designed to maximize your tax deduction by adding value to the vehicle.
When you donate a vehicle, our team of technicians does a 16-point assessment to determine the value of making repairs and upgrades to your car. Our research has shown that vehicle donations in California typically sell for 25-50% more than cars for charity without the improvements.
In addition to the added value from the repairs and upgrades we typically make to auto donations, you're getting the added bonus of our integrity.
We follow the IRS guidelines for your tax deduction, where both you and the charity receive IRS Form 1098 within 30 days of the sale of your vehicle. Both you and the charity of your choice receive paperwork indicating the final sale price of your car, so everything's transparent.
Before you decide to donate your car in California, you can check our positive track record by reading some of our donors' stories to see how satisfied they've been with Cars2Charities.
As for your bottom line, in addition to the vehicle improvements, we also sell donation cars privately, rather than through auction, when possible. Cars are generally sold for the value of “as is" condition at auction, so the higher sale price from a private sale maximizes your tax advantage.
When you're ready to make a vehicle upgrade, donate a car in California by contacting us online or make a quick call.
