Types of Vehicles Accepted by Wheels for Wishes

At Wheels for Wishes, we make it easy to support a great cause through vehicle donations. We accept a wide range of vehicles on a case-by-case basis, accommodating most conditions whether running or not. Our program offers a hassle-free way to make a difference while providing you with significant tax benefits.

Why Donate Your Vehicle?

Donating your vehicle to Wheels for Wishes is a meaningful way to contribute to children's charities while simplifying your life. Our hassle-free process benefits both you and the community, transforming unwanted vehicles into wishes granted for children facing critical illnesses.

Wide Range of Accepted Vehicles

Cars and Trucks

Whether it's a commuter car or a pickup truck sitting in your driveway, we accept most cars and trucks. These vehicles often bring significant contributions at auction, directly supporting our mission.

Boats and Jet Skis

If you own a boat or Jet Ski that’s taking up space, we can accept them too. With our program, you avoid the hassle of selling or storing these types of vessels and support a great cause instead.

RVs and Trailers

Recreational vehicles and trailers are accepted on a case-by-case basis. Even if they're no longer roadworthy, our expert team will determine the best way to maximize their value for donation purposes.

Motorcycles and Fleet Vehicles

Have a motorcycle you're no longer riding or fleet vehicles that need retiring? We accept most motorcycles and fleet vehicles, turning them into valuable donations to support children in need.

Vans and More

Beyond the typical vehicle types, we also consider accepting other vehicles, such as vans and various specialty vehicles. Simply contact us to see if your vehicle qualifies.

Vehicle Conditions

Running or Not

Wheels for Wishes accepts vehicles in a variety of conditions, whether they’re running or not. Each potential donation is evaluated individually, allowing us to find a solution that works for everyone involved.

Older or Damaged

If you have an older or damaged vehicle, don't hesitate to reach out. These vehicles can still make a significant impact, allowing us to make a real difference in children's lives.

How It Works

Free Vehicle Pickup

If we accept your vehicle donation, our team will arrange to pick it up at no cost to you. This complimentary towing service makes it convenient to donate your vehicle from any location.

Simple Process

Donating your vehicle is straightforward. Contact us with details about your vehicle, and we'll guide you through the steps. Our team handles the logistics, including pickup and paperwork, ensuring a seamless experience.

Benefits of Donating Your Vehicle

Tax Deduction

One of the major benefits of donating your vehicle is the tax deduction. You can deduct the auction sale value of your vehicle. If it sells for under $500, you can still claim the fair market value up to $500. This provides you with financial relief while supporting a worthy cause.

Environmental Impact

Donating your vehicle also promotes recycling and reduces waste. Vehicles that aren't suitable for auction are responsibly recycled, minimizing their environmental footprint.

Your Impact

Every vehicle donation makes a difference. Proceeds from the sale of donated vehicles directly support Make-A-Wish programs, helping to grant wishes for children battling severe illnesses. Your generosity provides these children and their families with hope, strength, and joy.
