None. There is absolutely no charge for pickup or donation processing.
Unfortunately we cannot accept abandoned cars. Contact the local police to list the vehicle as abandoned or find out if a local junkyard can pick up the car.
Yes, we would be happy to accept your car donation even if it failed the emission/smog test.
We can pick up cars in the Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.
The IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction of:
a) The value of your vehicle up to $500. It is up to the donor to determine the fair market value.
b) The amount we sell your vehicle for, if the sale price is more than $500.

Dedicated to Humanity is a classified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. You can check with your tax advisor or accountant to determine the amount of your benefit. The deduction is of value only if the donor itemizes his or her deductions. For a more detailed overview the IRS publishes a Donors Guide to Car Donation.
Our experienced team evaluates each car to determine how to get the best sale price for it. We take into account many factors, including year, make/model, mileage and local market conditions. It is in our mutual best interest to sell your car for the most we can.
You will receive a temporary receipt at the time of pickup, then you should receive your tax-deductible receipt in the mail within 3-6 weeks of donating.
You sure don't. Just remove all personal belongings from the car and leave the keys and title in the glove compartment.
You will receive a temporary receipt from the towing company at the time of pickup. It will have all of your car’s information along with our name and phone number. You just have to notify us once the car is picked up and we will mail the tax-deductible receipt to you.
We can usually arrange to have your car picked up as quickly as necessary. A local towing company will be in touch to schedule a pickup a few business hours after you contact us. Pickup is usually scheduled for a day or two later, but if you need your car pickup up sooner than that, we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Dedicated to Humanity has a network of professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing agencies throughout the Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties that pick up car donations. You will be contacted to arrange a time of pickup that is convenient for you, free of charge.
