Donate A Car in San Jose, California

If you live anywhere in San Jose, The Capital of Silicon Valley, and have an old car, RV, boat or vehicle littering your driveway, garage or front lawn, why not donate to charity?  Our local Donate a Car 2 Charity towing and pickup services can provide fast and free towing anywhere in the San Jose, CA area, and provide you with a car donation tax deduction for your charitable donation.  Our pickup times generally run between 48-72 hours, however, if you have an emergency and need faster service, just let us know and we will see if we can speed up the process by putting you directly in touch with our local pickup agency.  We will even arrange to have your car picked up directly from the body shop or mechanic, if necessary, so you don't incur extra towing or storage fees. 


Easy Car Donation San Jose -- We take it all!

donate wrecked carGot a car that looks like this? You're in luck! We take car and vehicle donations in any condition! That includes cars running or non-running, damaged or in perfect condition.  You can even donate a wrecked car in San Jose and we will find a use for it! 


If you have lost your title, no worries. Having the title to your vehicle at the time of donation may help expedite the process, but if you have looked and you just can't find it, the State of California allows you donate using an Application for Duplicate Title and the Vehicle Transfer & Reassignment Form, in place of the title. When you are ready to donate a car in San Jose, simply visit your local DMV office (listed below) and pick up these forms. In some cases, the driver may have a copy of these forms on hand. Just be sure to check with the tow driver when they call to schedule your pickup so everything can proceed as planned.   You will need to sign both of these documents as the seller and submit them to the driver when your car is picked up.

If I Donate a Car in San Jose, is it tax deductible?

Absolutely! Donating a car is one of the better charitable tax deductions you can claim. Any and all vehicles we receive in the San Jose or Silicon Valley vicinity benefit Activated Ministries, an IRS recognized, 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization and can be claimed as a tax deduction come tax time. Even donating an old junker can entitle you to a valuable vehicle donation tax deduction of up to $500 with the initial tax receipt you get. Automobiles in good condition which sell at auction for more than $500, entitle you to claim the (higher) actual sales amount. In that case, we send you a second receipt containing the greater value
