Vetted charities cover towing at no cost to the donor. Running or not, the vehicle is picked up at a scheduled time — the donor does not move it.
Vehicle donation is not limited to passenger cars. Roessleville donors regularly give pickups, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, boats on trailers, and even snowmobiles to qualified charities.
An unused Roessleville vehicle keeps generating insurance premiums and registration fees. Donating it ends those bills the moment the title transfers.
Vehicle donations routed to MatchingDonors.com receive prioritized handling — free towing, title transfer, and IRS Form 1098-C after the vehicle sells. Proceeds fund the matching platform that has connected over 15,000 registered donors with patients in need.

Getting started is straightforward: a few details about the Roessleville vehicle and a request for a free, no-obligation pickup. There is no commitment at this stage and no cost to the donor.
From there, the request is passed to a qualified 501(c)(3) equipped to accept vehicle donations. That charity schedules the tow, accepts the signed title at pickup, and mails the IRS Form 1098-C. Easy Car Donation is an independent referral resource — the donation itself is completed between the donor and the receiving charity.
A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from vehicle to impact. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)
Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your vehicle's market value and suitability for donation.
Their team verifies clear title, runs the vehicle history, and prepares all necessary transfer paperwork.
The title is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 1098-C for tax deduction purposes.
The vehicle is sold or put to use by the charity, and proceeds fund their mission.
Cars are only the most common donation. A small business retiring a Roessleville delivery truck, a household done with an RV that no longer leaves the driveway, or an owner ready to part with a project motorcycle can donate those vehicles on the same basic terms.
Larger vehicles take a bit more coordination on the tow — a flatbed for a non-running RV, a trailer rendezvous for a boat — but the financial picture is the same: free pickup, a signed title, and IRS documentation for the deduction.
Straight answers on donating your car, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes. Vehicles held by a company, partnership, or trust can be donated, though the deduction rules differ from those for individuals. An entity considering a gift should review the specifics with its tax advisor.
Yes. There is no limit on the number of vehicles a donor can give. Each donation is documented separately, with its own title transfer and its own Form 1098-C if applicable.
Insurance should generally be kept active until the title transfer is complete and the vehicle has been picked up. Confirming the transfer with the state DMV before canceling protects the donor from liability on the vehicle after it leaves.
Yes. Charities that accept vehicle donations contract with tow operators who are paid out of the eventual sale or use of the car. The donor pays nothing for pickup, whether the car runs or not.
