Elgin, Illinois Car Donations
If all you’ve been thinking about is how you can conveniently dispose of that beater that’s been clogging up your driveway, then you might want to consider turning over that vehicle to Kids Car Donations through our Elgin, Illinois car donations program. You can bet your bottom dollar that donating is much better than trying to sell that rusty clunker, trading it in, scrapping it, or allowing it to die a natural death on your property. For one thing, you’ll get that bucket of bolts off your hands without costing you anything once you simply hand it over to us.
At the same, your charitable contribution will serve a noble purpose as it will help in saving the lives of critically ill children in your community.
Let’s Work Together to Help Save Young Lives
Kids Car Donations and our IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit partners firmly believe that every child deserves to have the best quality of life – regardless of their race, gender, educational and socio-economic background. Our charity partners strive to bring health and well-being to as many ailing children as they can reach out to. They work tirelessly to seek new and innovative solutions and treatments for children grappling with serious ailments. They also have programs that seek to alleviate the pain and trauma of children during their hospital confinement.
To help these charities in their mission, we raise funds through our vehicle donation programs – such as the one we have here in Elgin, Illinois – to cover our charity partners’ operating expenses.
Your clapped-out car may seem useless to you, but to kids who are faced with life-threatening diseases and life-limiting disabilities, that vehicle could be their hope for a brighter future. By taking part in our Elgin, Illinois car donations program, you can make this possible.
Donating a Car to Us is Incredibly Easy
Are you planning to make a vehicle donation for the first time? You need not worry even a bit because our donation process is completely stress-free. You can count on us to do all the work on your behalf while you simply sit and wait for your tax-deductible receipt in your mailbox.
Here’s a simple three-step guide to our Elgin, Illinois car donations program:
1. Reach out to us.
Fill out our online donation form. You can also choose to call us at 866-634-8395. Provide us with the necessary information about you and your car.
2. Schedule your vehicle’s free towing.
We’ll set a schedule for your car’s fast and FREE towing on the date, time, and location that are convenient for you. We’ll ask a licensed towing company to collect your vehicle. On the day of pickup, the tow truck driver will give you a towing receipt. You’ll need this receipt to cancel your car’s insurance coverage and de-register it at your local DMV.
3. You receive your tax-deductible receipt.
We’ll auction off your donated vehicle. Within 30 days following its sale, we’ll send you by mail your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. With this receipt, you can claim your tax deduction when you file your itemized federal tax return in the next tax season.

You’ll Have Your Own Share of Rewards!
Your contribution to our Elgin, Illinois car donations program will definitely brighten up a sick child’s day. While doing so, you’ll also get to enjoy your own share of rewards! They include:
- Free car removal.
We’ll get that old heap out of your way as quickly as possible at no cost to you. You won’t even have to be present on the day we pick it up. Just be sure to leave your car keys and title behind for the tow truck to collect along with your vehicle.
- We’ll handle all the paperwork.
You won’t have to deal with a ton of paperwork because with your Elgin, Illinois car donation, you’ll be treated like royalty. Our team will process all the required documents on your behalf.
- You’ll free yourself from the burden of keeping an unwanted vehicle.
You can finally stop throwing in your hard-earned money into a clapped-out car. When you donate that vehicle to us, you’ll quit paying for its insurance, registration, storage, maintenance, and repairs.
- Steer clear from the hassles associated with selling a used vehicle yourself.
If you’re trying to sell an outdated model with thousands of miles on it, don’t get your hopes up. It’s highly likely that the few extra dollars you might get from the sale wouldn’t be worth all the time, effort, and money you would’ve spent to spruce up your car, post ads, talk to prospective buyers for test drives, and haggle with them.
- Get the maximum tax deduction.
We’ll make sure that your vehicle will be sold at its highest possible price during its auction. This way, we’ll be able to provide our charity partners with the highest possible amount of proceeds to support their programs. Since the final selling price of your vehicle serves as the basis of your tax deduction claim, you’ll also get to receive the maximum tax write-off.
