Want to do something with your car that you no longer use? Congratulations! In that case, you've found the proper location.
Donating your car is a simple process that can greatly benefit a charity of your choice. Cars2Charities not only donates to your favorite cause, but also provides free towing to donors and maximizes the value of your car donation, benefiting both our donors and our charities.
Still, thinking, "Maybe I could sell my car instead of donating it"? The process of selling your automobile might take some time.
Not only do you have to deal with phone calls, emails, and appointments, but you also have to deal with buyers who may put you off, who are not reputable, who are not qualified, and who then want to haggle. You have to get your car in shape to get the best price, visit the DMV and do the paperwork.
If you are looking for a quick, easy solution - and a way to do some good - a vehicle donation in Sacramento can provide you with a tax benefit while benefiting a charity of your choice.

How to Donate a Car in Sacramento
With more than 30 years of experience, Cars2Charities has the expertise to make vehicle donations easier than ever. Cars2Charities offers donors an easy, fast, and secure way to donate their vehicles.
In most cases, we accept donations of all types of vehicles, whether they are in service or not. We handle all makes and models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, vans, RVs, boats, golf carts, and more!
Step 1: Preparation for the process
You begin the process of donating your vehicle by picking up the vehicle's registration and title.
If you have misplaced your vehicle registration or title, do not worry! We can help you. Please find your vehicle's identification number (VIN) and we can work together to determine what additional paperwork you will need to complete at pickup.
Step 2: Make an appointment for the pickup
Call us at (855) 520-2100, or fill out an online donation request. Our friendly donation coordinators will take your vehicle information and work with you to determine the most convenient time, date, and location for pickup. We will then email you with step-by-step instructions on how to prepare for the pickup.
Our tow truck driver will call you an hour before the pickup, so you have time to pick up the paperwork and prepare the vehicle for towing.
At the time of pickup, make sure your vehicle title is signed and free of liens. You will hand the vehicle registration and title to the tow truck driver.
Step 3: Maximize the donation
At this point, we take the reins to maximize the donation for both our donors and the charities. To do this, we appraise the vehicle and increase the value to increase the selling price of the car.
It's a situation many people dream of - a successful way to support a cause you care about without having to put in the effort.
The charities to donate to YOU
At Cars2Charities, we work with hundreds of charities. If you have a passion for animals in need, the proceeds from your vehicle donation can go to an animal rescue like Westside German Shepherd Rescue, California Wolf Center, or Boston Buddies of Southern California.
You may prefer to support veterans through charities such as the Wounded Warrior Project, USO, Working Dogs for Vets, Support The Enlisted Project (STEP), or the Veterans Helping Veterans Foundation.
If you would prefer your donation to go to children and families in need, your donation can go to the following organizations: A Place Called Home, Breast Cancer Awareness, or Teen Cancer America. Whatever your cause, we make it easy.
If choosing just one charity is too hard for you, we can help. You can simply say, "Cars2Charities, you choose for me." Just let us know.
The Best Tax Deduction for Vehicle Donations in Sacramento
When you call Cars2Charities at 855-520-2100 or donate online, we maximize the value of your donation in a unique way that most car donation programs in Sacramento currently do.
We make necessary improvements to donation vehicles after pickup. Our technicians evaluate your donation vehicle to ensure it brings in as much as possible.
Your tax write-off is based on the sale price, so it benefits you to handle your car or truck donation in Sacramento through us at Cars2Charities. Our car care and expertise typically result in a 25-50% increase in the value of your donated vehicle when modifications are made.
It's not just charities that benefit from this. Your reward for your kindness is a nice tax deduction. When you donate a car in Sacramento, you are part of a win-win situation.
Our value-added service costs you nothing and allows you to deduct the full sale price from your taxes as a donation to charity.
We operate with full transparency between donor and charity by ensuring everyone receives a copy of the IRS-regulated paperwork - including the IRS Form 1098-C, which you will receive within 30 days of selling your car.
Why should I donate my car to charity?
The simple reason people donate cars is that they no longer need them. The decision to donate a car to charity may be so personal that you're looking for an easy way to support a cause you care about. Or maybe your car isn't worth much, and you just want to remove it from your driveway.
There are countless great reasons to donate your car to charity in Sacramento. Some of the most frequent justifications we hear are:
-It's a big hassle to sell it yourself, or the trade-in offer you received from CarMax or a dealer is ridiculously low.
Your time may be more valuable than the energy it takes to fix it up and sell it yourself - and just imagine the nightmare of finding the vehicle's papers or title if it's an old car or something that runs in the family.
When you donate your vehicle in Sacramento through Cars2Charities, we take care of the details and tow your car away - whenever and from wherever it's convenient for you.
-You don't need your vehicle on your property. Your neighbor's CC &Rs don't like having an extra vehicle parked on the street or in your driveway multiple times of the year. The easiest way to avoid this scenario is to donate a car, truck, or SUV in Sacramento.
Your repair bills are too high. When you donate a vehicle to a charity in Sacramento, you may be giving away money. You could also use the money for repairs on a car loan and drive a newer, nicer vehicle.
-You want to save the environment. It's more than just a trend - everyone is thinking about their EV options. Since there are so many charging stations available, petrol costs are reduced. You've undoubtedly previously looked into a car from every manufacturer, from Chevy to Tesla.
