How to Donate a Vehicle to Goodwill

All you need to do in our Galveston, Texas car donations process is to reach out to us, which is the first step in our three-step process. We’ll take it from there, and you don’t need to do anything else. Here’s a brief guide to our car donation process:

• First step: Contact us.

You can either fill out our online donation form or call us at 866-233-8586 to get started with your car donation. For the online donation application, please provide as many details as needed, and we’ll give you a call as soon as we receive your request – usually within 24 hours or even as soon as you hit the “Donate” button! We need to know basic details such as your vehicle’s make, model, year, mileage, availability of title and overall condition. Tell us also your contact information.

• Second step: Take advantage of our FREE towing service.

A schedule for the towing of your vehicle will be arranged based on your preferred date, time, and place for pickup. A professional towing company will handle the job, and you don’t even have to be there during the process. Best of all, the service is absolutely FREE!

• Third step: collect your tax deduction receipt.

Goodwill Car Donations will send you the 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt of your car within 30 days after it is sold at auction. The final selling price of your car as printed on the receipt will determine the amount of tax deduction you can claim when you file your itemized federal income tax return for the next tax-filing season. If your car is sold for more than $500, you can claim the exact amount as your tax deduction. But if your car is sold for less than $500, you can claim either the exact amount or your vehicle’s fair market value not exceeding $500, whichever is higher.

During the processing of your donation, Goodwill Car Donations will manage all the details including paperwork, the issuance of your tax-deductible receipt, and selling/auctioning of your car.

If you have any questions regarding our Galveston, Texas car donations process or any related matter, feel free to call our toll-free 24/7 hotline 866-233-8586. You can also send us a message online.
