For now, simply read on right here to see what everyone is saying about our service:

  • Quick and easy donation

    Donate a car is a great way to pass on a car! I received a call the next day after filling in my information from the towing agent. We set up a date that worked best for me to allow me to keep my car until I was able to get a different car. The driver called to give me updates on when he would arrive, then I just handed over the keys and vehicle ownership and it was gone! You are able to request where the money goes, even if the charity of your choice isn’t seen on the website. I was able to have over $2000 donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. I was told the value of my car and given a tax receipt within a few weeks of having my car picked up. It was such an easy experience with a positive outcome for everyone!

  • A very gratifying experience

    After my husband passed away, I had to let go of his motocycle that was very precious to him. As I was searching on Internet, I found the Donate a Car's website. I knew then that the motocycle would have a mission to help sick children at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ont. I had nothing to do, everything was done for me in a very pleasant, fast and professionnal way. It has been the most gratifying experience. Thank you so much Donate a Car Canada.!!!

  • Donating a Car to Your Charity of Choice

    Donate A Car Canada made it a seamless process for me to donate my late mother's vehicle to a special charity. Emails were sent to me instantly on updates and instructions on the progress. The towing company was just as thorough and provided prompt service as promised. The process put my heart and mind at ease while they walked me through the steps. Thank you very much Donate A Car Canada. I highly recommend this organization to help you in the process of donating a car to your charity of choice.

  • Great way to donate your vehicle to charity!

    Donate a car Canada is the quickest and easiest way to donate your vehicle to charity. The online process is simple and efficient. Very quick friendly response and updates from both Donate a car Canada staff as well as the towing agent make for an enjoyable experience.

  • Donate an Old Vehicle

    I found the experience to be extremely fast and easy. I have been wanting to donate an old vehicle of ours for quite a while but I figured it was going to be a long process and a lot of red tape but it was very easy. I just filled out an online questionnaire with some information, they emailed me back almost right away with pick-up arrangements. Within 48 hours I had a very friendly, cheerful tow truck gentleman come to my house and load my vehicle. I didn’t realize there were so many charities available to pick from but I chose the Parkinson’s Society of Alberta.

  • Fantastic Service!

    Our first experience with Donate a Car Canada, all we can say is fantastic service, My conversation with Kirsten was super, she was beyond friendly, the whole process went so well, and the car pick-up driver was great. Our donation will be going to the Parksville, B.C. S.P.C.A. Awesome service!!!!!!!!

  • Decided to Donate a Car - Quick and Friendly

    I contacted Donate a car when my husband and I decided to donate a car. Gerge was fast to get in contact with me. I was impressed as to how fast the process went. Especially when we are in Central Saskatchewan. I was contacted by Baillie Towing from Yorkton and a date was made for pick up. The whole process was hassle free and everyone was very friendly. We donated to STARS. They are a very important part of our healthcare saving many lives.

  • Super Fast and Easy

    So happy to have found out about donate a car. Submitted the online form and had emails explaining the process in my inbox within minutes and a tow truck driver (fast, friendly and efficient!) was in my driveway less than 24 hours later. Fabulous transaction all-around!

  • Very satisfied!

    I had planned on donating my car, wasn't sure where to start. Donate a car Canada was the first one I saw. I called and I am so happy I did. Kirsten was so helpful and friendly and made the whole process easy. When I mentioned that I wanted the donation to benefit CNIB IN British Columbia, she said that could definitely happen. I also said that I would like it to go to the CNIB in Kelowna if possible, in memory of my father who passed away last year. She was very understanding and kind in this regard as well, which means so much. She gave me the name of the towing company and said they would contact me and it was arranged to pick up my car from the dealership. Very well organized. The person who came to get my car, Brian Gray was great and so friendly. He was a little late, which he apologized for. I am so happy that I chose Donate a car Canada, and the fact that a charity important to me will benefit even if only a little. I would highly recommend Donate a Car Canada.

  • Amazing

    This is a worry free way of donating a vehicle you no longer want to help charities of your choice. The people who we dealt with are amazing and so helpful. Marilynn and Bob Victoria.

  • Quick, Friendly, and Hassle free

    Filled out the forms online on Saturday and my car was picked up on Monday! Friendly phone call to explain the process and given a time for pick up. During this time of Covid they provided contact free pick up. I sat inside and waved goodbye to my car. Thank you for the friendly and easy service! Would highly recommend, and would donate again in the future.

  • Brilliant Service

    I called today around noonish, and boy, what a lovely friendly young lady I spoke to. She was really, sweet and obviously had a great sense of humour, cause we seemed to be laughing a lot- even though she was very professional, and explained everything needed to be known, and done, concisely. Most of all, the service was beyond brilliant. Picked up already 😳 and the tow truck guys were great. Great all round group. Highly recommended if you want to donate to a charity, and get rid of an old vehicle with the least fuss at all. 👍

  • Donate Your Car Canada - Professional

    I recently experienced a great customer “centered” business, “Donate your car Canada”. I filled in the form online took 4 minutes. The next day I received a phone call from “DYCC” . I spoke with the agent to discuss the process for the next call from the local tow company. Very professional agent, very helpful and said the process will be very simple when the tow truck operator arrives on my driveway. The next morning I received a phone call from the tow truck operator , confirmed the pick-up time for the following morning. The young tow truck driver arrived greeted me and introduced himself and the company that operated the salvage yard. He hooked up the car and placed it own his flatbed and was done in less than 10 minutes! He said thank you and was gone! Professional well spoken and he very courteous in his mannerisms! Wonderful experience and I would recommend this Donate A Car Canada to friends and family!

  • Happy Camper

    I am so glad I came across this on Facebook as I had been thinking of giving up my Nanamobile as his/her time was done. After researching I was happy it was two-fold. The car would be respectfully and environmentally recycled and any amount received would go to charity. The tow company driver even gave me a second to say goodbye. Dealing with Donate a Car has been great and they keep you informed at each step. Last step to wait on receipt from my charity of choice

  • Very professional and pleasant

    I had a very good experience with this company. They are professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with. The tow truck driver went above and beyond, very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend their services.

  • Win - win for all

    Everyone was professional, prompt, and very courteous. My Mazda5 was in decent condition but not worth the money to fix to sell. when I saw this on the SPCA Monteregies website, I figured I would try Donate a Car. Everyone wins. The SPCA Monteregie, the car dealership, and most importantly I get to help. Great idea!

    The tow call was very professional and met all my needs, and the pick up time was worked around my schedule. The tow company also provided a follow-up when they had a question about my plates. Extremely happy with the whole process. Much thanks.

  • I am indeed pleased with the service, and the ML has been towed safely to the compound. I also wanted to extend my appreciation to both Donate A Car Canada and the Ontario Lung Association. As a long time asthma sufferer myself, I know first hand how important it is for Canadians to have proper education, research, support, and advocacy for good lung health and disease prevention. Keep up the good work! Thanks,

  • How to Donate My Car - What an Easy Transaction!!!

    I was unsure how to donate my car - I knew I wanted to, but didn't know where to start. So off to the internet I went. I found Donate a Car Canada. What I really liked about this organization is that I was able to choose which organization to make the donation to! AND, they picked up my car at the dealership where I had picked up my new car! So I didn't have to worry about a thing. Received a confirmation email today with the amount of the donation to a local organization that I cared about and it was 8 times more than they had originally told me it would be! I'm so happy about the donation that was able to be made! Would recommend this organization to anyone!!
    Michele Hettrick
  • This process was very fast, simple and smooth from my vantage point. The website form was straightforward. The instructions clear. I received a call early the next day from the tow operator confirming the info and then the vehicle was gone. No problems. I have since referred your website to a friend who has been trying to dispose of his vehicle for weeks. It worked quickly and easily for him as well. Your team did a great job. Thanks very much for your cooperation.
    Mr. Slomke
  • I was very impressed with the detailed instructions for preparing the car for pickup and then with the speedy removal of the car from the property. It was all in all what I would call a seamless procedure.

  • Exceptional activity

    Your company helped me help others in the most straight forward way. I'm happy to have received the email confirmation today stating my old car was put to very good use. I've received exceptional support from the start, to the point details and step by step guidance on what needs to be done. I've only found a great deal of professionalism starting with submitting my car for donation and having it picked up by two of the nicest guys ever. Your website provides a clear picture of what needs to be done as well as an extensive list of charities to choose from. All in all an exceptional experience, happy to give back a bit to those who need it most and glad I had your amazing help. Stellar professionalism!

  • Donating my Boat

    The process of donating my boat and trailer was an easy and smooth process. The receiving facility was very helpfull and courteous, and provided assistance in disconnecting and parking the trailer. Took no more than 5 minutes between arrival and departure. Plus the proceeds go to a worthwhile group to support.

  • From start to finish the service provided by Donate A Car was excellent. The process was simple and the service couldn't have been more impressive. I was only disappointed that the value of metal has dropped so much lessoning the value of the donation. As the tow truck driver pulled out I thought to call the tow company personally and compliment the professionalism of their driver, he maneuvered our narrow driveway and had everything loaded and paperwork sorted in no time. It was a real pleasure to have dealt with Donate A Car. Thank you
    Kelly
  • Thank you so much! You guys have been great 🙂 Thanks for always being so prompt
    Rebecca
  • Hi there, I signed up for the service online late in the evening and received a phone call to organize a tow the next morning at approximately 830 am. They were available that day. In the end, I got a tow on Saturday between 8-12, received a call to warn me at 830, and the car was gone by 930. All of the service was very courteous and extremely timely. I was impressed. I would use it again and also recommend it to others. Thanks

    Had a great first experience in donating my old vehicle using this program. Everything went extremely smoothly. Was a bit disappointed with the final sale price tho, as vehicle was still in pretty good shape.i would use this program again.

  • So Easy

    A quick phone call and then your really friendly and helpul guys came over to pick up my car. This was a stress-free transaction and I'm so happy I can help my charity, ISS.

  • Tow Company was Prompt & Professional

    Your tow company phoned me this morning to arrange the pick-up. They arrived shortly thereafter, and were VERY courteous, professional and well trained. There were NO issues to be dealt with, and the driver loaded the vehicle smoothly, and departed without any problems. Good job, WELL done. Thank you for the prompt and professional way you have handled my request.

  • Thank you

    My 2002 Focus died while sitting in the garage. The donate a car people were very oblidging and happy to come and get it. The driver was curtious and after trying to start it, rolled it out of the garage and hooked on to it and within about 15 mins. of ringing the doorbell was gone. Thank you!

  • Prompt and Professional

    We received a prompt and professional phone call to arrange the pick-up of the donated vehicle. They were very accommodating of our schedule and arrived right on time at 9 a.m. for the pickup.

  • Amazing response time.

    I had an old car that was in need of more repairs than was feasible for me to pay for with ho little I used it. I figured I'd give the car to charity and made the call. No exaggeration in 3 hours time from when I called the tow tuck had hauled it away. It's a load off my mind and got done so fast. Thanks a million!

  • Professional and Courteous

    Barb who assisted me on the phone was helpful, courteous and informative. This was my first time donating my car and it was great to have someone on the other end accommodating and helpful. I believe the tow truck driver's name was Curtis. He was also friendly and professional. It was a difficult time to "let go" and I think he sensed it. I am happy that the $ donated from my vehicle will help the charity of my choice. It was a smooth and easy process. Thank you to Donate a Car! I will definitely recommend to those who are thinking of doing the same thing.

    My brother passed away from Diabetes related complications. In the process of disposing of his estate items we decided to donate his vehicle to Diabetes. I initially contacted an associate of yours, Carolyn G, who provided me with the contact information. My experience with setting up the appointment for the pick up was simple and easy and the alternate contact information provided for the pick up - communication worked well. Totally happy with my overall experience.

  • Car has been recycled

    Thank your for your note. I've been waiting a little while to make sure my donated car has been recycled into money for my charity, and into a tax receipt for me. It appears that all objectives have been accomplished, thanks to your well run organization. I send special thanks to (your agents). When, after four business days, the local Halifax towing agent still hadn't given me a phone call, I got in touch with (your agent). (They) promptly, no, immediately jumped on the problem, and, presto, the local tow trucker was in my parking lot, friendly and ready to roll my dear car away very next day. I also note with much appreciation your pleasant intake person. She had a soothing voice, and an gentle, intelligent empathy; very fitting qualities for dealing with my momentary little feelings of soft sentimental sadness at surrendering my beloved car. Well done, everyone.
    Rob
  • I feel they undervalued the car. I had an offer of $25 more before I donated. Would be nice to know value for scrap cars before they take them. I am happy to give to a good cause but I could have gave more by selling it myself. Pickup was good. Note from Donate a Car (Oct 5, 2016): Mr. Gardner, we appreciate your input! We see from your file that our donation outcome was quoted in our initial email to you? This is the email that is sent to each donor at the onset of their donation process to ensure that they have all of the information they might need before proceeding. You may have noted there, as well, that our donation outcomes are subject to current market values on metal? Like you, we feel the sting of these low returns and eagerly look forward to a shift in the global economy, allowing our recyclers and scrap yards to begin recovering. Thank you for your generous efforts on behalf of your charity of choice!

  • So easy to do some good

    Having retired, I could no longer afford the licence fees, insurance, parking and upkeep of my car. I was so pleased to discover that I could donate it to my favourite charity, the Toronto Humane Society, without lifting a finger (except to send them an email). They (Donate a car) sent a pick-up to my home the very next day and that was the end of it. So easy!

    The word is getting out about your service handling the remains of my vehicle. Thank you for providing a great service. I feel better about giving the truck away for a worthy cause then just having a wrecking yard take it. Thanks again for taking my headache off my hands.

  • Donate a car to charity

    Excellent fast service. Car gone same day after I made the call. Tow truck driver very polite, pleasant. Unfortunately car was no longer drivable, but it was used for scrap with the money going to the charity of my choice. Only way to deal with getting rid of a vehicle in my opinion, and I recommend this to anyone looking to give up a car.

  • I called Donate A Car on Tuesday of last week and received a phone call on Monday morning of this week to set up a time to pick up my Mom's much loved Dodge Aries. Service was friendly and professional and we were given a pick up time for Wednesday, between 1 and 3 pm. On Wednesday, I received a call from the gentleman on Wednesday at 2. He was there at my Moms, ready to pick up the vehicle which he did with no complications. All in all, our experience with everyone we dealt with at Donate A Car was professional and friendly. We thank you for your help and wouldn't hesitate to call you again. Thank you!

  • Great Community Service

    On behalf of our two beloved border collies Argus and Candice we wanted to give something that would help others to experience the enduring companionship that we have enjoyed with our girls for the last 16 and 11 years. The vehicle that we donated was their vehicle which they both grew up in over the course of countless car rides and adventurous camping trips all across western Canada. I want to thank Donatecar.ca for making it possible along with Wounded Warriors, with out their service we just wouldn't have known what to do with their old favorite camping buddy. It will be missed by them for sure.

  • This is a mutually beneficial program: my old car, fourteen-year old Mazda was ready to scrapped; it was removed from a convenient location at no cost to me, and the money that the sale of its useful parts would garner will be used for valuable research by CAMH which will issue a tax receipt.

  • Very easy and painless to donate a car. Excellent communication on the progress of the sale. The contractors/auctioners used are also very professional. We donated an antique car, 1963 Lotus Super 7, and we are very happy with the results, especially for the Ottawa Humane Society.

  • Donate my car to Youth for Christ

    Hello to all Donation staff, I am so happy that I got your help to donate my car to Youth for Christ Canada. My mother encouraged me to donate my car. She was suffering from cancer but the only word she was always saying was "Jesus . She loved Jesus. At this moment I can not continue writing because tears in my eyes won't allow me.

    It was a welcome service to have my outworn vehicle removed, and the proceeds of the sale going for a good cause, even if it was only for a small amount.

  • Easy process with charitable benefits

    We decided to use donate-your-car to dispose of our 2003 vehicle. The process was incredibly easy and we feel good knowing the proceeds will go towards the Canadian Mental Health Association. This is a great program and very responsive to a need in our communities. Congrats!

  • Donation to a Charity of My Choice

    I found the staff so easy to work with. They gave me the best advice to maximize the donation to a charity of my choice. They kept in constant touch until the transaction was complete. Everything went off like clockwork and they advised me when and how much had been sent to the charity I chose so that I could watch for my receipt. Very well done and so easy.

    Amazing service and much appreciation was shown from this really class act. I wish that my scrap of a car could have resulted in a larger donation to the Alzheimer's Society. They have an enormous list of charities you can choose from and they are extremely organized in the removal of your long loved vehicle.

    Donating my car was so easy. The whole process went smoothly and was effortless. Thank you for your service and I feel great that I was able to donate the auction proceeds to AARCS.

  • Could not have had a better experience!

    The towing agent called me the very next day and then again the morning of the pre booked pick up day to confirm. It snowed that day and he informed me that they were running an hour late. Great service. The young man from the tow truck company that came was called Logan. What a polite professional and pro he was at his job. The whole thing only took fifteen minutes and he was off. Could not have had a better experience.

    I donated my car to one of your listed charities. The vehicle was disabled in the driveway of my home. The tow driver called and gave me an estimated time of pick up, then confirmed later in the day. The truck was clean, the driver was courteous and professional. The tax receipt was in the amount that I would have received from a local scrap dealer . Highly recommended. Ross

  • Second Donation a Pleasure

    Thanks again for the amazing service you provide. I wanted to let you know that this is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Tony and his tow truck driver. This time Tony went above and beyond to accommodate me with picking up my donated vehicle. He and his driver were happily willing to switch out my tires before removing my vehicle - no easy task when you are not in a shop with a lift. In both cases the transaction was quick and simple - the driver was also courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again for everything! Best wishes in the new year A note from DACC: Thank you for that feedback, Sarah! Although our agents cannot typically provide tire service, we are delighted that our agent went out of his way to accommodate you -- especially since this was your second gift through our program! Heartfelt thanks!
    Sarah
  • Awesome Experience!

    What a truly awesome experience! The towing company was in touch with me within a few hours of the online submission for donation and the pick up of my vehicle was arranged for two days later. The tow truck driver was timely and more than obliging when I asked him to wait for a quick picture of me next to my car. This was my 'first car' and parting with her was not easy but I was so happy that I could donate to a great charity. I have told many people about your company and hope more people will do the same when the time is right for them. Thanks so much and take care.

  • Gratitude for Donate A Car Canada

    I’m very, very impressed with your program, it makes it easier to part with my car of twenty five years. Thank you for recognizing that this is an important life juncture...sixty years of driving and no longer feeling I should be on the roads was a difficult decision. However, it has been an accident free six decades and I wished to end with my record in tact. Ann and Tom...picked up my much loved car of twenty five years...their friendliness and pleasant conversation made a sad occasion a little less so. Just as...the kind folks of Donate a Car Canada were such a pleasure, Tom Cat Towing were the perfect people to help keep my nostalgia at a minimum. Ann understood that many memories are made during a long period of owning a car that was a real honey...low maintenance and dependable. Tom was impressed with the fact that it is a standard drive! Thank you for providing a valuable service. My heartfelt gratitude for Donate A Car Canada,

  • I want to tell you that the concept is a very worthwhile concept of donating an old vehicle to a great cause.  The towing company came on schedule in a very short time & the person was very pleasant & my car was removed within half an hour.  Unfortunately, the final steps of obtaining the receipt takes a very long time (3 to 4 months for me).  I hope others consider this concept!

  • Seemed very well organized, however I would not donate a car in the future. Car didn't even get scrap value at auction, in the future i'll sell my own car and donate proceeds myself. Note from Donate a Car (12/14/2015): We are very sorry we were not able to generate a higher donation outcome for your vehicle at auction, Mr. Grist. We've looked into your file, and while we thought it would perform better at auction given the year on the Toyota, combined the rust, and repair condition it seems buyers did not engage. While this is not typical (and we work hard to ensure that we do not assign vehicles to auction that should be recycled) the market is impacting what buyers will offer on sale day. We share fully in your disappointment and are grateful for the gift that did go to charity in your name!

  • Towing Agents Take Extra Care

    I wanted to let you know how extremely impressed I was/am with the service provided by the tow truck company and the guy they sent - so helpful and nice (forget his name) - but hope you can let him know. He helped with the transition very well and it all went smoothly. He arrived early and realized that and went and looked at the storm waves for a bit as we finished getting ready. Very considerate man. Yes, the kept in touch with us by phone all along.Thank you and hope my mom's car is helpful.A note from DACC: Working alongside our senior donors and their loved ones is a great privilege. When our seniors have special requests, or just need support unique to their own circumstance, our agents prove themselves to be good humored and respectful every time!

  • Donated vehicle is a Means of Doing Good

    Thank you for persisting faithfully with our file regarding our donated vehicle. It was my first experience dealing with “Donate a car Canada” and I was greatly impress with your organisation and your professionalism. Now I can say first hand that “Donate a car Canada” really works across Canada because seriously I initially had my doubt that the the whole thing would actually work in Quebec. My experience with the organisation was an excellent one and I would certainly recommend to anyone who has a car to donate to consider “Donate a car Canada” as a possible solution to do good.

  • Donate a Car Canada has been fabulous!

    My whole experience with Donate a Car Canada has been fabulous! (My first contact) was cheerful, friendly, & most helpful in tracking down the donation process- as there were two owners of the vehicle & we were trying to half the donation between them. She was always quick to respond to my queries. (The towing agent) was also wonderful – they were very timely in their response time & arrived on time when they picked up the car & were also helpful in taking stuff out of the car that belonged to the owner. I’d forgotten to check what needed to be taken out, so was grateful for their help. All the folks involved with Donate-a-Car have been friendly, helpful & supportive. I would highly recommend you folks to anyone who had an old vehicle to dispose of. Thank You! Thank You!

  • Devoted to their clients on receiving an honest and good amount for the car

    When I thought about giving my car to someone I knew and would appreciate it was a good intention.  The person was sceptical and did not believe me so then I went to your website. My car was quite old, driveable except not structurally pleasing.  It service its purpose so if someone could benefit from any part of it then let's go for it. Donate A Car  personnel were very pleasant upon meeting.  They always kept in contact with me by email and kept me informed on how things were processing. They are a very professional company, devoted to their clients on receiving an honest and  good amount for the car. The best part is that whatever was received would be going to a charity that I have chosen and they could benefit also. Thank you.  "Donate A Car" for your diligence and perseverence in doing all you could to get the job done. Sincerely,

  • I am very disappointed and surprised of how little I received for my donation of my car. I will definitely informed anyone not to donate but sell their car for junk instead. This was a joke, I think it is missing a zero at the end of my donation. $65? Note from Donate a Car (Nov 10, 2015): Mr. Holland, we do appreciate that $65.00 feels like a low return on a beloved vehicle. You will have noted in our emails that we do run the risk of seeing a low return, even on re-sale, in the current market. Our agent in your area works hard for our donors and their charities of choice to ensure that he is carefully assessing vehicle value: where needed, he recycles; where possible, he re-sells. Any high mileage (over 200,000 kms), needed repairs, or rust will strongly impact saleability in your part of Canada as buyers are reluctant to invest in any vehicle older than 10 years and with those added concerns. We share in your upset over the low dollar return, and we are eagerly awaiting an upturn in the metal market as, like you, we want to see the highest dollars possible sent on to our receiving charities. We thank you for your part in ensuring that they received a gift, as every dollar counts in this uniquely depressed industry!

  • We donated our proceeds to Sick Kids in Hamilton.

    We donated our proceeds to Sick Kids in Hamilton. We chose Donate A Car Canada because of the choices they offered us when we decided to donate to a charity. Our 3rd grandchild was born premature due to our daughter's high blood pressure problem during her pregnancy. He was 3.2lbs when born on Easter Sunday, 10 weeks ahead of schedule, and was immediately transferred to Mac Kids at Hamilton Health Sciences - MacMaster University. Their staff was amazing and truly cared about the way they cared for not only our grandson, but all the children that were there. So we were grateful to see that our donation was able to go directly to the Mac Kids Ward. We're happy to say that our grandson is now 12 pounds and doing very well......thanks to the staff at Mac! The staff at Donate A Car Canada were very professional, provided great customer service and kept us updated as much as possible.  We would do it again, without hesitation. Thanks to everyone involved.

  • I'm so happy

    I was so sad to have to move and have to get rid of my dear little toyota tercel that had got me through many years of safe driving and big snow storms. She never let me down, so I never wanted to let her down either. I vowed to keep her in my yard, which I did for 5 years and she had all my barn cats living in her in the winter. Then I met an american and had to move to the States as a snow bird which meant that tenants had to move into my house. That meant that i had to get rid of my little car. I felt that i had betrayed her until my husband suggested that I donate her to the SPCA which I did. Now my heart is not so heavy, because she was donated to help save animals.

  • Fluctuating prices

    Donating my car was quick and easy. It seemed like a great way to put an old car to good use. But receiving a $30 tax receipt for a used car, in any condition is kind of awful. I feel like I would have been better off just selling the car and making a cash donation. Message from Donate a Car(4/18/2015): Joel, Thank you for reaching out and posting a testimonial. We here at Donate a Car are feeling the effects of the dropping metal prices, and we are heart broken to share the news of the lower than average returns to both the donors and receiving charities at this time. Please know that we are working diligently with our agents to continue to provide the highest possible donation in this depressed market. Rest assured that when the economy starts to get better, the prices of metal will increase, and so will the donation amounts. For a more detailed explanation on the prices and how they are determined, please check out our blog the Metal Monster. We give our sincere gratitude to all of our donors that continue to support the charities through our program. Regardless of the lower prices at this time, the acts of kindness and giving are still strong and commendable.

  • AARCS Ongoing Recipient of Vehicle Donations

    We have been working with Donate-A-Car Canada for 5 years.  During that time, we've enjoyed a measured, but steady increase in the funds received by our charity through this program.  We are now able to rely on a relatively stable monthly contribution and find that its a simple way to source additional funds with very little effort on our side.  Any questions or requests for support are answered cheerfully and promptly by a representative who is familiar with our account and our staff.  We've recently moved locations, added employees and updated our banking and all the changes to our account were resolved quickly and correctly so there was no interruption in our service.  The monthly reporting provides us with the information we need to add names and amounts to our donor list and is also in a format that reconciles easily with our accounting records.  We appreciate that historical reporting remains available on the website so we can access the information as needed without having to track down old paper or e-mail copies of the information.  Our donors seem to find the process easy to navigate and Donate-A-Car has been quick to contact us with any donor questions or updates to ensure our receipting process flows smoothly.  We look forward to continuing our relationship with Donate-A-Car and appreciate having an additional, monthly contribution to our organization!

    It was a pleasure and a blessing to find a company that would pick up our 1994 Plymouth Voyager with over 250,000 miles on it, and take it off our hands: the water pump went out on it the very same day that our vehicle insurance ran out on it.  I was contacted by the company and told to have a key in the vehicle and sign over the title, and they would take care of the rest.  Sure enough, on the day that they informed me that it would be picked up, it was.  Thank you so much for taking the vehicle off of our hands and off of our yard at no cost to us.  Pastor Ken

  • Metal is Down

    Donate a car has been very helpful. But saying that I know it's out of their control but for my Charity to get only $25.00 because scrap metal is down is crap Iam sure they would strip all the new tires and parts off my car which is well over $2000.00 kind of saddens me. Sorry Cancer Society I tried.to do the right thing. So thank you Donate a car you did your part but the rest of the system faile. Note from Donate a Car Canada(1/10/2015): Thank you for taking time to provide this feedback, Mr. Wade. It is a concern that has been expressed by one or two of our callers as well. Like you, we want to see the highest return possible for our donors and their chosen charities. In the current market (check out our blog, “Metal Monster” for some detailed information on metal values), we’ve learned that scrap yards are in a position to just cover costs with the re-usable/re-saleable parts from our donated vehicles. When a donated vehicle is older than 10 or 15 years the demand for those parts drops, and when we see units with seized engines (as was the case with your faithful ’98 Grand Am) we understand that there are only a few parts that the yard may be able to re-sell. Unfortunately, the mark-up that you and I pay for our tires doesn’t work out to a boost in donation outcomes as they simply do not retain their value after purchase. We have the happy privilege of seeing donors like you benefit the CCS with thousands of donation dollars each year. We know that they are thankful for every dollar that comes through our program, especially in tough economic times like we are faced with today.

  • NorWest Co-Op Volunteer a Happy Donor

    Our 19 year old car was needing a lot of repairs and the garage told us it wasn't advisable to repair anymore. So, we knew the car wasn't worth a lot but we wanted to donate it to an organization who could benefit I volunteer at NorWest Co-op Community Food Centre. The Food Centre is a place where people come together to grow, cook and share. This is an organization that is very dear to my heart. I went to the NorWest Co-op's website and clicked on donate. Filled in all the proper info about my car, and immediately received an email from Donate a Car Canada. The next day, a man from the towing company came to pick up the car. He was very polite and even positioned the truck so I could get a last photo or two of my car. We definitely recommend Donate a Car Canada to everyone!

  • Ford Escorts Final Ride

    Recently my Ford Escort which had given me yeoman service for 20 years died a dignified and graceful death due to frame erosion. Penner's Auto Service who have faithfully serviced this car for a long while suggested that I donate it to a Charity. I found the 'Donate a Car" site on line and it was so easy and efficient to follow through. The day following this, I was contacted by Mountain Towing and Parts arranging to come at my convenience to take the Escort away. Though I was a tad nostalgic to see it take its final ride, I was so impresssed with how tenderly the tow operator treated it. The entire experience left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that even to the very end this car was providing yet another wonderful service. My choice of Cancer Care Manitoba was made becaause many members of my family have been helped through this service. I reccommend this to one and all.

  • Donate the vehicle rather than sell

    The service is extremely easy to use and reliable.  My vehicle was picked up at the designated time and place and within six weeks we received notification of the amount that was donated to the charity of my choice.  The value placed on the vehicle for income tax receipt was considerably lower than what I had been offered in a private sale, however, it was my choice to donate the vehicle rather than sell.  If you would like to be able to donate to your charity and do not have a lot of disposable income, I would recommend Donate A Car.

  • Friendly and Competent

    Called them up, they showed up on time, friendly and competent, the car was taken away with no issues. A pleasurable experience indeed, with the icing being that those in need get some monetary assistance as well... a great idea, well implemented.

  • Old Car Removed For My Husband

    My husband passed away a few years ago, and as well as a hole in my heart, this left me with his old 1991 Honda Accord. This car had reached the end of it's life, and I had been trying for months to find someone to come and take it away. No luck with anywhere I tried, since I live in the country and no one was willing to drive this far to get it. I did contact two scrap dealers who promised they would be out within 48 hours to pick it up. That was several months ago, and yet here it sat. One of the charities I called then told me about Donate a Car. I called and had the most lovely chat with a young lady, who assured me they could pick it up, and gave me a choice of hundreds of charities I could donate the money to. The next morning, the car was gone! I would recommend that anyone who needs an old car removed, don't waste your time, just call Donate a Car, and all will be solved. The problem was solved immediately. Thanks so much.

    Donate a Car Canada is more than just a conduit for donations. They are a true partner to the Canadian Cancer Society. The level of support provided by their amazing client care team demonstrates their commitment to the Society’s mission. They are very responsive to the needs of both donors and the Society. This is evident in the follow-up they do on behalf of donors and their ongoing quest to identify opportunities to increase donor support to the Society. The Canadian Cancer Society is delighted to partner with Donate a Car Canada in the fight against cancer.

  • Give an old car new life.

    What a great organization! I didn't have to wait to have my car gone and know that it was giving new life for an organization that needs money.  Within a day I was able to get the car towed and set up the donation with ease! The organization  (Donate a Car) was so helpful that I posted the facebook page on my facebook page and told all my friends about it!!! A great way to give an old car new life!

  • A great experience!

    Hello, I am so happy to write a few lines about my experience with 'Donate a Car'! I have known about this organization for some time and thought it was a great idea but I wasn't aware of the extent of the services.  I thought it was brilliant that a Towing Company would come and tow the car from my residence, however I didn't realize that a donation would be made to my Charity of choice!  It felt so good to know that others would be benefiting too.  Everything was so organized, right down to the last detail, and happened so quickly - it was wonderful. I will definitely donate a car again in the future, and I will be sharing this service with family & friends encouraging them to do the same. Thank you once again for the great work you do and for the service you provide.

  • My Friend Ross

    Many thanks for the update on the donated Chevy in the name of my late friend Ross.   I know he would be glad that I wanted all proceeds to go to The Salvation Army.   Donate A Car Canada was just a phone call and the car was picked up with no fuss at my end.   Best way to do something special for a special friend who died so suddenly. Again many thanks for all your help.

  • Helping Kids with Cancer

    Everything was very efficiently handled. The Towing agent was courteous and fast. It couldn't have gone more smoothly and I would highly recommend them. Both the dispatcher and the pick-up agent were extremely pleasant to deal with and turned a sad experience for me because I was attached to the old car - called it "precious" because of it's age into one that was easy to cope with. Think you have a great programme and I'm glad to think that Precious will go towards helping Kids with Cancer.

    This is the first time I've used Donate-A-Car and have been very pleased with the results. It is a very simple process to follow with great benefits to your charity of choice. It is a win-win scenario. The charity wins by receiving the net sale of your car and you win 3 times over. You dispose of your car, you receive a chartible donation receipt of a sizeable amount and you feel great!!

  • A - Plus

    The towing company was excellent – he phoned on the Sunday, said he could pick it up that day, but we were having a family function so we deferred it until Monday. He phoned Monday, said he’d be out in 30 minutes and he arrived right on time. He fired up the van and he was very careful loading it, chaining it down and talking it away. I would definitely use his company again if the occasion arises – he gets an A+ in my books. Thanks.

  • What a fantastic service!!

    This is a fantastic service! There's nothing worse than having a car breakdown and to find out that it would be more than the car is worth to fix it. It would just add insult to injury if I also had to pay for the tow truck to take it away. Being a student for the past couple years i didn't have a lot of money for cars. I'm so glad I found out about this service. The towing was fast and Easy to set up. And on top of that, the money gets donated to wildlife conservation. There's no downside to using this service, but Donate a Car makes having an irrepairable car an upside.

    I got a call from the towing guy on Tuesday and he said that the truck would be at my place at 9 the next morning. It was there right on time. We had some trouble getting the car out of my lane way so he had to get a smaller truck that could maneuver into the lane way. The second truck showed up very quickly and the car was done in about 10 minutes. Both drivers were very friendly. The service was very pleasant, much better than experiences I have had when I was paying for service.

  • Car Donation Program - In Honor of Mom and Dad

    In 2013 our family lost our mother due to a rare disease called Pulmonary Hypertension. We contacted the Pulmonary Hypertension Association of Canada to see if they had a car donation program like the Kidney Foundation. They did not but found that we could put the car up for auction with Donate A Car Canada and PHA would receive the donation. As a result of that transaction PHA soon became a listed charity with *Donate A Car*. Sadly not too long after losing our mother, our father was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. When he entered the Dorothy Ley Hospice in 2014 we told the Hospice about *Donate A Car*, they too became a listed charity with *Donate A Car*. Ours dealing with *Donate A Car* have always been positive. The  organization is well run, and the staff is very professional. We appreciate all they have done for us during what was a difficult time, and we think it wonderful that these two charities close to our heart have another venue to help raise donations for their organization.

    The company was very helpful through out the process of donating my car. in my opinion this is a very easy way to make a generous charitable donation without having it hit you the way it might were you to take an equivalent sum of money out of your checking account. the process over the phone took about 1/2 an hour and they were very helpful in locating a charity I specified that was not on the list. car was picked up within a couple days which was handy given that insurance had been transferred over to the new car, and sold at auction within a week or two. We will definitely be using this service again when it is time for the wife to get a new car.

    Thank you for your interest in my experience with the tow company. The call from the driver and his timely response was much appreciated. He had an almost impossible task...or so I thought...to be able to get the car out of the driveway. He was able to put that truck into a space like it was a dinky toy. He is to be commended on his expertise on the handling of the vehicle and his courtesy exhibited to me upon his arrival and help.Thank you for a very positive experience.

    The Tow Truck Operator was very professional and courteous. He went out of his way to make things go smoothly and efficiently. He was very friendly and talkative and presented a very good image of his company in his manner and approach. The driver should be given recognition for his attitude and approach to the job. He provided additional assistance during access to the vehicle and arranging vehicles afterwards. In my opinion he went above and beyond his duties to do an exceptional job on the vehicle pick-up.Based on my experience with the process and the tow operator himself - I will be strongly recommending your company and the process to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you.

  • Easy but little money

    Since I hadn't driven my car for over a year having been out of country and travelling soon again for an extended period, I decided to donate my 2002 Honda Accord Se Special. The car was parked all that time, the body was in great shape, but the car needed some maintenance. The experience was new to me. The online process was easy, then I got a nice followup call, very reassuring. A few days later I was told that the pickup was for later that day (to my surprise, I was informed it would be after the weekend). No problem, he would reschedule if I wanted, but I needed it moved, it was in a parking lot not at my location. After a few weeks I got an email with the amount of my vehicle/donation. The amount was disappointing for sure, I don't think I'll do this again, but the "Donate a Car" process was easy. Note from Donate a Car Canada (Oct 10, 2014): We are relieved to know that you were well supported on the DAC side of things, but certainly appreciate that the outcome at auction was not in keeping with expectations, yours or ours, for the kind of donation hoped for on behalf of the CLF. Our cooperating auction houses work hard to ensure a strong outcome on behalf of donors' chosen charities; we are deeply sorry that the outcome on your Honda's sale day was so very disappointing. Thank you for taking time to provide respectful criticism, Sir. We take it seriously and we are looking carefully at any ways that we can adjust our process to ensure that your frustration is not shared by future donors.

    Whole process, from start to finish, worked out very well. I was return emailed within the same day, the towing company called me the next day, which was a Monday, to arrange a Tuesday morning pickup from my house. Driver was polite and showed up right on time.

  • Jan's experience with Donate a Car

    My only complaint is that when someone comes to tow your car, you receive no receipt from the towing company or Donate A Car so you have no proof as to who has taken the car. It could be sold and the profits kept with no good proof as to who took the car. It is necessary to wait several weeks before you receive an email with the amount of the tax receipt and the confirmation that the money has gone to the charity of your choice. Until you receive that email, you can only rely on the good faith of Donate A Car. I would prefer some paperwork rather than having to rely on that good faith. Message from Donate a Car: Thank you so much for your feedback Josephine. Our agents have a form that they should have printed off, signed, and left with you at the time of pick-up. We will not only address this with your particular agent, but will send a reminder to all of our agents to ensure that they are leaving all of our donors with that peace of mind receipt.

  • Doing Things the Right Way

    I had left my car at the dealership, and did the on-line donor information.The very next day your (company) called the dealership to verify the car was on the lot.And, the day after, the car was picked up. Now that is doing business the right way.I was, as was the dealership, impressed.

  • Start to Finish

    I (received) a phone call from the towing company the day after contacting you. He called in the evening after I got home from work, worked out well. He was late the next day but he called to say he was going to be much later than at first he estimated. When he came he was pleasant, polite and a very personable fellow.I was very happy with the whole experience of donating the car through you, right from the phone call to you up to when the car left the yard.Thanks for offering this service.

  • Disposing of my Car - Impressed

    Thank you for letting me know of your success in disposing of my car and making the donation to the Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation as requested. I am very grateful to the Hyundai dealer who told me of your service and to your representative, Dunia, in Calgary, who handled my request promptly and efficiently. I was also impressed with the service provided by (the tow support agent) who collected the car the day after I had completed the on-line application. The whole process is so much simpler than having to drive the old car to a wreckers' yard, pay them to dispose of it, and then find a way back home! Being able to donate the proceeds to charity benefits everyone. Keep up the good work!

  • Appreciate the help!

    Donate a Car was very helpful and efficient when my car broke down and I decided that it was not reasonable to spend more money on it.  I needed a way to get rid of the vehicle and donating it to charity was my first choice.  Donate a Car was quick to respond and kept me informed about the process.  Thanks again!

  • Supporting the SPCA Made Easy

    The towing company called in a timely manner, and pickup was arranged right away. They came within the hour, as promised, and the driver was very friendly.This is an excellent service, and I have recommended it to many people who may be in a similar position to donate in the future. We are so happy we could do this to support the SPCA, and delighted the process was so seamless.Thanks again!

  • Worthy Charity, Great Support

    We are so pleased with the (speed) and ease of donating the truck. (Your agent) contacted us early in the morning, I spoke to them before lunch, and the truck was picked up (the same day) by a very pleasant driver.Thank you so much for your wonderful organization! My wife suffers from progressive osteoarthritis, so we were pleased to donate a little to such a worthy charity (the Arthritis Society) and it helped with our decision to pass on the truck.

    I had an excellent experience! I received a phone call quickly and the tow truck was right on time. I'm glad that this organization is in existence and if the opportunity presents itself again, I would be more than happy to make another donation. I loved my Tercel, but it was just too dangerous to drive and too costly to fix. So glad that it can be put to good use!

  • Removal of the vehicle

    Very simple process that was handled perfectly. I simply let them know what I had and they took care of the rest. Timely removal of the vehicle by courteous and professional staff, handling of the auction, and processing/disbursing the proceeds to the charity of my choice.

  • Rip off

    I donated a 2001 Acura that has a value of $2000. The site asks if you can drop the car of in Innisville for auction and mentions nothing of scrapping it. I could have driven the car to a scrapper near my office and received $500 and given it to Charity myself. So to have a car towed and receive $100 is just not right. Note from Donate a Car (May 5, 2014): Upon looking at your file, we have noticed that there were several communications with you via email and telephone discussing the options of recycling or auction, and also the value of your vehicle. We advised at the time of possible low outcomes for your vehicle at auction, and even offered to deliver the vehicle back to you and cancel the donation if you were not satisfied with the possibility of a low outcome. As such, we received confirmation from you that you were ok to recycle your car with the guaranteed tax receipt of $100. We're sorry that our form created confusion regarding the drop off, and we are disheartened that your experience was not satisfactory to you. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us direct staff in a continued effort to ensure that our donors are well informed of their options before their final donation is made.

  • Short Turn Around Time

    I have worked with local and regional charities for the past 25 years... with Easter seals and special Olympics as two main partnerships. Personal contact with the local families confirms the needs for help and leaves me inspired to give both financially and as an active volunteer.

  • Easy to do

    There were limited options when we needed to free up some driveway space for a replacement car. We thought the old car would be easy to dispose of but found it wasn't worth very much and wasn't worth the cost of the tow to get it to the wreckers. We decided that donating would be the best decision all round. It took only minutes to make the initial request and then we were easily walked through the process. So convenient and we were glad to make the donation to our choice of organizations. I hope I don't have to do it again...but would recommend the process to others.

  • Repeat Donor

    I don't know how you could do it any better.The car was picked up way sooner than I thought (the only issue I had was that the tow truck driver never called).I've had friends say to me that I could have gotten more from Kijiji, I told them that I have a son in law with MS and Kijiji is not going to help out any, then I just grin!!This is the second car I have donated and it feels great.Thanks again.

    I was extremely impressed with the professionalism that Donate a Car personnel displayed when I contacted them to donate my Chevy van to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.   Their response was speedy and they readily kept me up to date on what would happen.  My van was picked up within a week by friendly tow truck driver who took great care to load it on the truck.  They have now indicated that the funds have been forwarded to the charity.  What a great service they provide.  It was very easy and my charity will now benefit.

  • Sell my car? We donated it!

    For some time I had been wondering how to sell my car.  We'd had many great miles and adventures together, and while it was getting old and the odometer reading was high, it still had life.  My days seem endlessly filled with "things to do", and selling the car was never reaching the top of the list.  And then I saw a sign on a post about donating your car.  Brilliant, I thought - even more so when I searched online and found donatecar.ca, which allowed a person to choose the recipient of their donation.  Easy to fill out the form, an immediate response the following day, the flexibility of towing company who came to pick my car up, my emailed questions answered promptly...  I have told many people about it, and will continue to do so.

  • Donate your old vehicles 🙂

    My Dad who passed in 2009, was a generous man, who didn't hesitate to help others. He was a humanist! I hope in my small way, by donating his beloved 1992 Blazer to charity, that the money will help a wild animal to recover in the Toronto Wildlife Center! He loved animals too! Please donate your old vehicles to this worthy cause! Your helping to make sure that old vehicles are responsibly recycled and helping others with the moneys that your old vehicle can generate. Thank you!

    I was so impressed with the service and profesionalism of not only Donate A Car Canada but the men they sent to pick up my car. It took two efforts to get the car from the underground parking.

  • LOVE THIS

    My daughter had a car a few years ago that she needed to get rid of. I called my nearest junk yard, and they came to pick it up - no cost to me. Cool - gone. Loved it.Fast forward a few years later, and the junk yard is no longer, but now my second child has bought a new car.  His truck would never pass an insurance inspection, so not much use trying to sell it - nor would I want to. I called AMA and they recommended this site to me. LOVE IT! Not only was the online process seamless, TNT (towing company) was quick and professional and more than willing to accommodate our wacky schedules, *and* I get to donate to my community. I strongly recommend this service, and please spread the word!

  • So easy

    This was so easy to do. Just dropped off our car and it was done. The auction agents were helpful and friendly and made us feel so good for doing this. We feel we gained because we avoided the hassle of advertising, arranging for people to view and test drive the car, and deal with transfer hassle. This way it was done and charity we support got some an extra donation.

I truly believe this a great organization and will use and recommend this service to anyone who asks.Thank you Donate A Car Canada.

    Donating my car through Donate A Car Canada has been such a wonderful experience. It was very easy to do since the Donate A Car Canada website had all of the instructions posted.

  • Pickup of my Vehicle - The Legend lives on...

    It was really hard to part with my Acura Legend, but after 21 years of faithful service, it needed more mechanical work than I could afford, so I decided to donate it to charity. I went to the Donate a Car website and with a couple easy steps, I was able to choose the charity of my choice and arrange pickup of my vehicle. Donate a car contacted me right away and answered all my questions promptly. Within 24 hours, the towing agent contacted me as well and my car was off to auction by the weekend. Within a week and a half I received an email from Donate a Car indicating the net proceeds of my car that would go to my favorite charity. The process was so easy, I felt like Donate a Car took care of everything for me, and was also very sympathetic to the loss of my car. I feel so good about my decision and would do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Donate a Car. The amount of money I would've received had I gone through the hassle of selling the car on my own, would not make a difference in my life. It will however, make a huge difference in the lives of the animal rescue I support. Thanks!

  • Donate a Car program made it easy

    Donating my car was a a breeze!  The Donate-a-Car program made it easy, convenient and painless.All I had to do was fill out a simple form on-line and then drop off the car.  I didn't have to wait in any lines or make any appointments.  It was also MUCH easier than going through the hassle of trying to advertise/sell it privately.  The hardest part of all was saying "goodbye" to my beloved Focus! 🙂  But knowing that the proceeds were going towards a great cause took a bit of the sting off...

  • The Arthritis Society recognizes Donate a Car Canada

    thumb
    There are nearly 4.6 million Canadians who live with the pain of arthritis every day.  They are young and old, from all walks of life.  They face more than 100 different forms of this relentless disease. It affects mind and body. According to a 2010 report by the Arthritis Alliance of Canada entitled The Impact of Arthritis In Canada: Today and Over the Next 30 Years , the total economic burden of arthritis is estimated at an unimaginable $33 billion. With 12% of the workforce in Canada coping with arthritis on the job, it is now the most common cause of disability in Canada. If no changes are made in prevention and care, within the next generation more than 10 million Canadians (one in four) will be living with arthritis. In response to these staggering statistics, The Arthritis Society is offering more education programs than ever before, with ambitious plans to grow our volunteer base and reach more people suffering from arthritis in rural and remote locations. The wonderful donations from Donate A Care enable us to train more volunteer facilitators to deliver even more programs, such as Chronic Pain Management and the Arthritis Self Management Program, just to name a few. Until a cure for each form of arthritis is found, people need the support and resources that protect their quality of life. The Society is grateful to Donate a Car Canada for supporting our vision to help people “live well while creating a future without arthritis.”

In Alberta thousands of cats and dogs are homeless, abandoned, abused or living in horrendous conditions. Although we may not see them on the streets of our cities and towns, it is estimated that well over 25, 000 small animals are rescued or surrendered in Alberta alone. AARCS mission is to improve the lives of animals by rescuing and providing sanctuary to abandoned, surrendered or abused animals; assisting communities to achieve healthy and respectful relationships with animals; promoting responsible and compassionate guardianship and advocating on behalf of all animals. We could not do our crucial work without the support of community networks such as Donate a Car Canada. They provide a unique and innovative way of contributing that makes it easy for donors and charities like us to benefit from their program. We have raised thousands of dollars through their program that has allowed us to help animals in need now. Thank you Donate a Car for the support you have generously provided us as part of your selected charities.  Through help like yours we provide foster homes to animals in needs and regularly run rescue efforts such as our recent rescuing of Ginnie who was caught in a trap. You can read her story at the following link:http://albertaanimalrescuecrew.com/profile.php?id=1688&sourcePage=patients.

  • K.H. had this to say about his $1000 donation

    The donation process was fine, it seemed fairly seamless. I initially wanted to donate the vehicle through a private sale and then donate a portion of the money to either Centre Street Church or The Salvation Army. As Centre Street Church wasn't on the donor list to select, I decided to have it donated to The Salvation Army. Their core mission statement and core values statement (http://www.salvationarmy.ca/missionandvalues/) match with mine, so it fit! I pray that the user of the vehicle can put it to good use around Calgary/Western Canada! 🙂

  • Car Dealership a Hassle

    I wanted to get a smaller car and didn't want to go through the hassle of going to a car dealership and having a salesman offer next to nothing for my Rav. When I read about donating a car I was interested, and when I saw I could select the charity, I was excited to see ARF on the list. This charity is near and dear to my heart. I am always appalled by the number of homeless animals, and have 2 barn cats from a rescue society as well as 3 more that have found their way to my place. I suspect that at least 2 young kittens were just ‘dropped off’ in my area. Fortunately I have room for these cats, but many people don't, so organizations such as ARF are invaluable in caring for these animals until a home can be found. Thank you to all of you at Animal Rescue Foundation for all you do to help. I am pleased that I was able to help by donating my vehicle, and hope others will consider doing the same.

    The Donate the Car program provides those in the community an opportunity to fund local programs and various research grants for Canadian charities while disposing of their old vehicles in an environmental and painless process. The Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) is one of the charities benefiting from the generous support of the public and the partnership with the Donate a Car program. Funds received through this program have contributed to more than $20 million raised to support research on the over 100 different forms of liver diseases currently affecting one in ten Canadians. These funds have also been used to develop and operate local educational programs for school students, the public, patients and their families affected with the disease. The Canadian Liver Foundation is grateful for the funds generated by the Donate a Car program and look forward to our ongoing successful partnership. About the Canadian Liver Foundation Founded in 1969 by a group of doctors and business leaders concerned about the increasing incidence of liver disease, the Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) was the first organization in the world devoted to providing support for research and education into the causes, diagnoses, prevention and treatment of all liver disease. Through its chapters across the country, the CLF strives to promote liver health, improve public awareness and understanding of liver disease, raise funds for research and provide support to individuals affected by liver disease.

    Cancer is the number one cause of death for children from six months to young adulthood.

Our programs are uniquely designed to meet the needs of the whole family in each stage of the cancer journey, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. It is because of the generosity of organizations like Donate A Car, that enables KCC to make a difference in the lives of children affected by cancer.

  • Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation

    Stollery Childrens Hospital
    Your vehicle donation means a great deal to the kids at the Stollery. To understand how big of a difference you're making, just take a moment and think back to the vehicle models of ten years ago and all of the advancements. When you donate a vehicle, you're helping us to upgrade equipment and technology at the Stollery and creating those same advancements in children's health. Donors just helped purchase a $3.45 million intra-operative MRI that allows surgeons to see whether they have completely removed a mass while the patient is still on the operating table. Doctors will no longer need to close and use older equipment at a later time to check the success. This means a reduction in the number of surgeries a child will have, less pain, quicker recovery times, and we'll see more kids going home to their families sooner. Thank you for helping us to send more children home each year.
