Our Quick and Easy Car Donation Process

Donating a car to us at Goodwill Car Donations will not cause you any problem whatsoever. Our Herndon, Virginia car donations process is quick, convenient, and as easy as counting 1, 2, and 3!

You will need to contact us first. You can do it by filling out our donation form, which you can find on the right side of this page. You may also call us at 866-233-8586 and speak to one of our donation specialists. They will be helping and guiding you throughout the donation process.

We will need a few details from you such as your name, phone number, and email address. You need to tell us also about your car’s make, model, year, mileage, VIN, running condition, and title availability. It would be good if you can also upload a picture of your car in our donation form.

After verifying all the information you shared, we’ll call you back to arrange your car’s pickup schedule. We’ll ask you the most convenient date, time, and location for you to have your car picked up by us.

We’ll assign a licensed towing company to do the job. Their tow truck will arrive at the designated pickup point on time. Before taking away your car, they will issue you a towing receipt that will release you from all liabilities on your car from that point onward. This means you can now cancel and stop paying for your car’s registration and insurance coverage.

We’ll then sell your car at auction. We’ll use the proceeds to fund our various programs for the benefit of out-of-school youth, persons with disabilities, underserved veterans, and other people in your community who stand to gain from our programs.

Within 30 days after the sale of your car, you’ll receive from us your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. If your car’s final selling price is more than $500, that amount will be the exact figure you can claim as your tax deduction when you file your itemized federal income tax return. If your car’s final selling price is less than $500, you have the option of basing your tax deduction claim on your car’s fair market value but not exceeding $500. Keep the receipt since you will need it to support your tax deduction claim when you file your itemized federal income tax return for the next tax-filing season.
