We may not be Canada’s most visible car donation program, but we’re tops in two ways that count for everything! One of those ways? Integrity, of course!
When the donating “how” matters as much as the “why”
When a donor calls or writes in ready to donate their vehicle, they usually have a very clear Why. They are donating because they care. That caring comes in all shapes: love for critters and passion for health causes; concern for community and love of the arts; faith and hope for the future.
It’s important that every donor’s reason for giving is met with an efficient, personal, respectful process.
Two things that count for everything here at Donate a Car? The How of getting things done around here? Well, they’re the two things that may matter very much to you when you’re considering the big generosity of donating a car, truck, van, SUV, or motorcycle.
Integrity
You won’t find a lot of flash and bang around here. We are a solid team with a solid process. ‘Tried and true for two decades, in fact! We make no false claims, and we are proud to run our little business with honesty and human dignity. Through the years we’ve experienced some dirty dealin’ — not everyone plays fair in the vehicle donation industry. We breathe deep and easy knowing that from day one we have served with transparency and fairness. “Integrity” isn’t a tired or overused word around here. It’s a daily practice.
Donor and charity support
That integrity runs through the second reason you’ll want to keep us in mind when donating a vehicle: our support for donors and charities is second to none. You’ll see it in our Google Reviews: communication is top notch around here. Whether you’re connecting via telephone or email, you’re engaging funny, attentive, and capable humans. We care. A lot. And we care about what you care about. Our best day is helping you have a fully amazing donation experience from start to finish!
And we’re here for your charity of choice, too. We take care of every aspect of vehicle donation so that they need do nothing. In fact, even the tax receipting process is managed by CanadaHelps so that the charity simply needs to receive the funds. There’s no need to divert their attention from the work they love doing because every detail is tended for them.
One donor’s story offers some perspective
One Manitoban offered some reassuring words the other day. A hearty reminder of why this stuff matters so much!
“Hi! Just wanted to let you know that the tow company arrived as scheduled (the operator was pleasant and accommodating), and I cancelled my insurance on it the next day.
After almost 19 years of driving my Vibe to commute back and forth to work almost 100kms per day during the week and travelling through some very nasty prairie weather (all of which that car got me through safely and reliably), it was sad to ‘her go’ but it was just time to say goodbye. With it being a stick (manual transmission), there just wasn’t anyone interested in buying it from me.
She offers a little more on the integrity of the how and the why of it all…
So, I turned to making it into a donation and hope that in that way it will have some value to CancerCare Manitoba because we are all affected by this disease in one way or another.
I had originally thought to donate it to (another vehicle donation program) but searching for that site landed me on the Donate A Car Canada website which had so many other worthy organizations from which to choose, it was a bit of a struggle to decide on which one! I’m confident that CancerCare is the best decision.
Lastly, thank you. I found the Donate A Car Canada website to be a very straight forward and easy process! The emails and the telephone calls I received were all very informative and very pleasant, putting me at ease with making the donation. I would definitely recommend this process to anyone wishing to dispose of an old/aging vehicle.”
Low key generosity, high key joy
From time-to-time a donor will ask about our advertising efforts compared to other car donation programs.
One of the ways we keep our overhead (very!) low is by operating as an on-line entity. We rely on word-of-mouth and internet searching for our donations. This ensures that we’re not investing dollars into marketing that could be going directly to our hundreds of receiving charities.
So, if you’ve seen a TV ad, that’s not us. ‘Spot a boss ad on a billboard, or hearing it on the radio. Nope. Not us either!
How ever you have found us, your vehicle can contribute to the charity of your choice. If you’d like to learn more, jump to our Contact Us page. You’ll see our toll-free number there.

Send us your questions via email — we typically respond within a couple of hours (unless you’ve caught us in the middle of the night…we do need to take a snooze from time-to-time). We’re looking forward to working alongside you on behalf of the cause you love!
