DONATE A CAR IN AUSTIN
Help Kids and Teens in Texas
One of the simplest ways to make a huge difference in the lives of seriously ill and disadvantaged kids and teenagers in your area is by donating a car in Texas. While in many ways Texas leads the country, when it comes to children living in impoverished conditions, it ranks fifth worst in the nation — with child poverty levels at 19%. You can make a difference here in Austin, the state’s capital known for monthly music festivals, cowboys, food trucks and art museums, with a car donation. By doing so, you’ll help us fund some of our country’s top nonprofits whose mission is to ease the suffering of American children.
Kids Car Donations created our car donation program to save and transform the lives of children facing chronic and life-threatening diseases, mental issues, hostile upbringing, poverty, and other burdens in life. We sell all vehicles donated to us and use the proceeds to support our nonprofit partners in providing our young and indigent beneficiaries with free medical treatment, access to educational and other social service resources, counseling services, emotional well-being projects, and quality of life programs.

A Quick and Convenient Way to Donate Your Car
We make sure that our donors go through a stress-free and nearly effortless donation process. You won’t have to deal with even a single piece of paperwork. We’ll take care of everything for you, including the free towing of your vehicle. The only thing you need to do is to inform us of your decision to donate your car to charity. You can do this by either giving us a call at our toll-free 24/7 hotline 866-208-4583 or by filling out our online donation form at the bottom of this page.
Provide us a few details about the vehicle you plan to donate as well as the date, time, and place you prefer for its free pickup. We’ll assign a licensed towing company to pick up your vehicle. Before their tow truck arrives at the agreed pickup point, see to it that your car keys and title are ready for the tow truck driver to pick up.
Yes, we need to have your title since this is needed when we sell your vehicle at auction. No need to worry though in case you lost or misplaced your vehicle title. Just call us and our title experts can easily help you secure a duplicate copy of your title.
If the car’s title has been lost or misplaced, just call us and our title experts can easily help you secure a duplicate copy of your title.
If you can’t be around at the time of towing, either assign a family member or neighbor to hand over the keys and title to our representative or just leave them somewhere that’s accessible to the tow truck driver.
A tow receipt will be issued to you (or your proxy if you’re not present) before the tow truck hauls away your car. The receipt will enable you to cancel your car insurance policy and registration at the DMV.
We will then send your donated vehicle to the nearest auction house in our network. Once your car is sold, we’ll deliver the proceeds to our nonprofit partners for use in funding their various programs and services for troubled kids and teens.
A few days after the sale of your donated vehicle, we’ll mail you your tax-deductible receipt. This receipt serves as your ticket for claiming your tax deduction when you file your itemized federal income tax return this coming tax-filing season.
