Naples Car Donation In Florida Benefits Make-A-Wish Kids

Buildings by the oceanSince 2010, Wheels For Wishes has been granting wishes of kids in Naples and all over Southern Florida. You can help kids in your local community and benefit Make-A-Wish Southern Florida by donating your car.

Wheels For Wishes is a vehicle donation program benefiting Make-A-Wish Southern Florida. Our charity vehicle donation program helps turn cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, RVs, and even boats into wishes for children in the Naples area, Collier County, and all over Florida, including Sunrise, Weston, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach, and more.

Car donation is a convenient alternative to selling or trading in your vehicle, and it benefits a local child. You won't have to deal with the hassle of selling or trading in your car, or haggling over a sales price. Our team can guide you through every step of the process.

Making wishes come true for children with critical illnesses is what Wheels For Wishes is all about. With the help of caring individuals taking part in the car donation program, children can experience a fun-filled day designed just for them in the Naples area.

Benefits Of Donating Your Car In Naples

Wheels For Wishes makes the entire process of car donations easy. Whether you choose to make a car donation online with easy-to-follow steps for filling out the donation form, or you'd rather speak with a customer service representative, the process of donating unwanted vehicles takes only a few minutes.

If you need assistance getting your car, truck, motorcycle, RV, or boat towed, we can arrange that for you too.

One of the major benefits of the Wheels For Wishes donation program is your ability to help dreams come true for children with critical illnesses. Kids will get to spend a day like no other because of your generous donation.

The Tax Benefits of Your Naples Car Donation

You can claim your tax deduction only if you itemize deductions on your return. We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor about your specific situation.

You never need an appraisal to donate. We send your tax form within 30 days of your vehicle selling, so you'll have your tax deductible documentation well ahead of tax season.

Your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year, which makes late December a great time to donate if you're planning ahead for your return.

Title Transfer and Paperwork

Our team can help with the title transfer for your donation. If you have questions or need help with documentation, we're happy to walk you through it.

What Happens to Your Donated Vehicle

Most donated vehicles are sold through our processing partners at auction, with proceeds supporting Make-A-Wish Southern Florida. If a vehicle isn't a good fit for resale, it's typically sent to an auto salvage yard, where usable car parts are removed and the rest is recycled responsibly.
