How can I donate a car in Pennsylvania?

I recently got a new car. I still have a Chevy in great condition, and I really want to donate it. I live in Pennsylvania; what’s the best way to donate my car here?

Donating your car
is a very generous way to get rid of a vehicle you no longer use, and it can really change someone’s life! Vehicles for Veterans is a nationally known organization that will pick up your vehicle and even allow you to receive a tax deduction for your donated vehicle from anywhere in the United States. To donate your car to their organization in Pennsylvania, follow these three steps:
  • Call Vehicles for Veterans at 1-855-811-4838 or fill out the vehicle donation form on their website. Here, they can answer any questions you may have about the donation process. Whether you use the online form or speak directly to a representative, you will have to provide the type of vehicle you intend to donate (car, truck, motorcycle, boat, RV, etc.), the year, make, and model of the vehicle, and your personal information regarding pickup location and contact information.
  • Vehicles for Veterans will contact you within 24 hours of the next business day to arrange for your vehicle to be picked up. At no cost to you, they tow all vehicles, anywhere in Pennsylvania. They’ll take your old car even if it doesn’t run.
  • You will receive a tax-deductible receipt in the mail. You should save this and deduct it from your taxes at the end of the year.
Remember that you will still need to insure your new car, too. If you want to easily get the best deal on the coverage you need, check out the
