How the process is adapted
Flexible Pickup Options
We offer flexible out-of-state pickup for graduates who may have already relocated, ensuring a smooth process no matter where you are.
Parent-Signed Title
If a parent is the legal owner, we can facilitate title transfers by mail, making the donation process straightforward and convenient for everyone involved.

Timely Processing
We are particularly aware of the semester-end and graduation rush periods, streamlining our process to ensure quick handling of your donation.
Your concerns, addressed honestly
"Time pressure to sell before a flight"
We understand that time can be of the essence. Our expedited process ensures that your vehicle can be picked up quickly, allowing you to focus on your travel plans without delay.
"Parent-donor vs. student-donor dynamics"
If you're donating on behalf of your child, we provide clear communication and support for parents, guiding you through the necessary steps to finalize the donation.
"Tax situation complexities"
If your parents are itemizing deductions, donating the car could provide a tax benefit. We guide you through the IRS requirements to ensure clarity around potential tax implications.
"Emotional attachment to the first car"
We recognize that your first car holds special memories. Our process honors that attachment while helping you transition smoothly from your college years into the next chapter of your life.
Vehicles we typically see
Many college students and recent graduates find themselves in possession of reliable vehicles that have served them well, typically ranging from 10 to 20 years old. Common models include Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, Nissan Sentras, Ford Foci, and Volkswagen Jettas, often accumulating between 100,000 to 200,000 miles. These cars may require some work, typically around $1,000 to $3,000, which often exceeds their current market value, making donation a practical solution.
