That car collecting dust in your driveway? It could be doing something better. Like funding a local animal rescue. Or helping veterans. Or supporting a cause that hits close to home.
We’ve teamed up with Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS) to help you donate your old vehicle, and feel good doing it. CARS works with over 10,000 vetted nonprofits, so you can give your car a second life while supporting something that matters to you.
Whether it starts right up or hasn’t budged in years, it can still do some good.
How donating works
- Pick your cause: Whether you’re passionate about clean air, happy pets, or healthier communities, your car helps fund a nonprofit you believe in. You choose who benefits.
- Schedule a free pickup: Running or not, we’ll come to you, no cost, no stress. Most vehicles are picked up in just a few days.
- Get a tax deduction: Your donated vehicle is tax-deductible. CARS will take care of the process and send you all the paperwork you need for your taxes.

Donating vs. selling
At Peddle, we’re all about making it easy to get rid of your car. Donating just gives you a different kind of payoff. Helping a cause you care about, clearing space, and scoring a tax break.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what real donors have shared through the CARS donation program:
"It was the easiest process in the world. We would do it again in a heartbeat." – Mary Claire, Sierra Club Foundation vehicle donor
"If you have a vehicle sitting in your driveway (like mine), and you want to get rid of it – this is a great way to give back to the community." – Aram, Michigan Radio vehicle donor
"I bought my Chevy Explorer van to exclusively travel with my then 15-year-old pup, and that's exactly what we did. Now she's gone over the rainbow bridge, and I set my eyes on The Asher House, in honor of my dog. It's a sanctuary that advocates for the welfare, protection, and dignity of all animals. I couldn't be more pleased with the simplicity and ease of the process through careasy.org! I will definitely do this again." – Dana, Asher House vehicle donor
