Phoenix Car Donation Benefits Make-A-Wish Kids

The Wheels For Wishes car donation program, benefiting Make-A-Wish® Arizona, is proud to offer a way for Phoenix residents to give back to the community and its youth. And it's as easy as donating that unwanted vehicle sitting in the driveway.

Car donation is a great way to help wish children. You help support an incredible wish experience!

Donating your vehicle to Wheels For Wishes is a convenient, quick and easy alternative to arranging the sale of your vehicle yourself. It is tax deductible if you itemize deductions and benefits local Make-A-Wish children across Arizona, including those with critical illnesses.

Donate your vehicle to help brighten the lives of local children! Call 1-855-278-9474, and you get free pickup or towing for your car donation anywhere in Arizona, plus a receipt you may be able to use for a tax deduction.

Why Donate A Car In Phoenix

Vehicle donations to our program help local wish children and bring great benefits to you. When you donate a vehicle to our charity in Phoenix, you get free pickup and a hassle-free way to give.

Free Tow Service

Our vehicle donation program offers free and fast vehicle pick-up or towing for your donated vehicles in the Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Sun City, Goodyear, Avondale, Litchfield Park, Surprise, and other surrounding areas. Even other cities across the state like Mesa.

You do not need to hire a tow company or spend money on a tow service. Give us the address where your car is parked, and we handle the rest.

Get A Tax Receipt For Your Donation

  • We mail you a tax receipt once your vehicle donation is processed, and we send your tax form within 30 days of your vehicle selling.
  • Your tax deduction: Wheels For Wishes, part of Car Donation Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) charity, so your car donation is tax deductible if you itemize deductions. Include your receipt with your tax return when you claim the tax deduction.
  • We're a nonprofit, not accountants, so we can't give tax advice on your tax deduction. Your own tax advisor is the best person to help with questions like this.

Your donation receipt comes by mail, and your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year.

Your Donation Is environmentally friendly

You have a chance to help the environment with your vehicle donation. A vehicle too broken to auction is a recycled vehicle!

  • Vehicles too broken to auction? We recycle them, so their parts and materials keep their value and get a second life.

Hassle-Free Donating

No time or money is wasted on the hassle of selling your vehicle yourself. Just call 1-855-278-9474 and tell us, "I want to donate my car!"

  • When you donate your car, there is no listing, no offers, no strangers and no more haggling over low-value cars: we take these vehicles as is and handle all the work.

Best of all, the proceeds from the sale of donated vehicles can help children in communities across Arizona, maybe even in your own neighborhood.

How Free Pickup Works

Call us or fill out the online form, and we arrange your free pickup in Phoenix within 24 hours of the next business day. We pick up from any place in the state, whether your car is parked at home or somewhere else.

A car that will not start, a truck with flat tires or an SUV with a dead engine is still welcome with no repairs, and you free up space at home at no charge.

Vehicles We Accept For Donation In Arizona

Our charity's vehicle donation program takes cars and trucks as they are. If you donate a vehicle in Phoenix, you do not need to pay for repairs first. Tell us the type of vehicle you have and a little more about it, and we take care of the rest.

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs and vans: we pick up these vehicles running or not, from any place in the state of Arizona, whatever the model, mileage, condition or value.
  • Motorcycles: call us with the year and model of your donation, and a member of our team will help you with the next steps.

Boats, RVs And Trailers

  • We accept RVs, boats and other vehicle donations one case at a time, because towing can cost more than their value. Boats go on trailers, so the boat and the trailer each need a title.

If you own an RV, a motorhome or a boat, tell us more about it. We will check whether a tow truck can reach it and let you know the next step.

Wheels For Wishes, a nonprofit organization, has donated more than $125 million to Make-A-Wish chapters around the United States and supported wish experiences for more than 14,673 children in North America! Donate a car today to give back to wish families in communities across Arizona.

What Happens After Your Car Donation

  • After pickup, your vehicle donation is auctioned to someone who can use it, or recycled if it is too broken to auction.
  • The proceeds from the sale of vehicle donations support wish children in Arizona through our program.

How Your Car Donation Supports Wish Families
